Queen of Thrones: the mess-free castor oil packs I use as an evening ritual
A castor oil pack used to sound like a faff: oil, flannel, clingfilm, an old towel, and a hope that nothing would leak on the sofa. I wanted the ritual, not the mess.
Queen of Thrones was created by naturopathic doctor Dr Marisol Teijeiro. She designed a modern, mess-free castor oil pack – with a soft cotton layer and straps that actually stay put – so the ritual was something you might keep, rather than give up on.[1][2]
Here’s my guide to the two Queen of Thrones packs I recommend, and how I use them in the evening.

Why I trust Queen of Thrones
Dr Marisol Teijeiro is a naturopathic doctor, and she created Queen of Thrones after seeing how messy and easy-to-abandon the old-style pack could be. She wanted a practitioner-grade, time-respectful version that would stay in place.[1]
The packs I recommend have an organic cotton inner layer and adjustable straps, so you can settle in without holding everything together yourself. Castor oil is sold separately, and the pack is reusable: you simply top it up.[2]

My Queen of Thrones favourites
Liver pack: my dedicated evening wrap
This pack is shaped to sit over the liver area, on the right side of the body. Apply castor oil to the inner flannel, wrap the pack in place and relax – many people use it in the evening or overnight.[2]
The inner layer is 100% organic cotton, the outer layer is polypropylene, and the straps are nylon. It doesn’t include the oil, so you’ll want a bottle of organic castor oil alongside it. Avoid during pregnancy, and check with your GP if you have a health condition.[2]
Back and abdomen pack: for a wider wrap
This version is shaped to cover the mid to lower back and abdomen, and is held in place with soft, stretchy straps. Pour about a tablespoon of organic castor oil onto the centre of the soft cotton side, avoiding the seams, then place the pack and tie it on.[2]
I like this one when I want a slightly larger area wrapped. As with the liver pack, the oil is sold separately, it’s reusable, and you should avoid it during pregnancy and check with your GP if you have a medical condition.[2]

How I use a pack in the evening
💖 Oil the cotton, not the sofa. A tablespoon of organic castor oil on the inner layer is usually enough.[2]
💖 Strap it on, then settle. The whole point is that you don’t have to hold it.
💖 Give yourself a quiet window. Many people wear a pack in the evening or overnight.[2]
💖 Skip it in pregnancy. Avoid during pregnancy, and speak to your GP if you have a health condition.[2]
💖 Reuse it. Let it dry, store it, and top up with oil next time.[2]
Why the ritual matters more than the mess
I don’t use a pack because I want another complicated routine. I use it because it’s a simple, warm, quiet moment at the end of the day.
That’s what Dr Marisol was aiming for: fewer steps, less faff, and a ritual you might actually keep.[1] The right pack makes that possible.
