BEATS BLOAT: A castor oil compress

“I’ve struggled with digestive sensitivity and constipation since childhood,” Giada admits. “There were times when belly bloat limited the way I moved through life. But my daughter’s sitter introduced me to this remedy: I saturate a piece of flannel with castor oil and place it on my abdomen for 45 minutes, topping it with a hot water bottle wrapped in a plastic bag to keep it clean. It has a seriously detoxifying effect and may also help with circulation, inflammation and pain. Now, I just do it as needed, and it works wonders!”
