Castor Oil Packs: one of my favourite gentle healing rituals 🤍

This is something I’ve been using regularly in my own recovery, and it’s also a practice I often recommend to patients navigating hormonal imbalances, fibroids, pelvic congestion, sluggish digestion, or post-surgical healing.

Castor oil packs are simple, soothing, and deeply supportive for the body when used consistently.

✨ Benefits of castor oil packs:
• Support circulation to the pelvic and abdominal area
• Encourage lymphatic drainage and gentle detoxification
• Help reduce inflammation and stagnation
• Soothe abdominal discomfort and bloating
• Promote relaxation and parasympathetic (rest-and-heal) nervous system activity

Over time, these small, consistent rituals can create a really powerful foundation for deeper healing.

Here’s my simple step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Soak a piece of organic cotton or flannel in castor oil (enough to saturate but not dripping)
2️⃣ Place the cloth over the lower abdomen / pelvic area
3️⃣ Cover with a hot water bottle or heat pack
4️⃣ Lie down, rest, and relax for 20–30 minutes
5️⃣ Gently remove and wipe away excess oil (you can store the cloth in a glass container and reuse)

I usually do this in the evening as part of my wind-down routine — it’s a beautiful way to signal safety and deep rest to the body.

I personally use castor oil from Fushi Wellbeing because it’s organic, cold-pressed and of a really high therapeutic quality, which is so important when you’re applying it regularly to support hormonal and pelvic health.

If you’d like to try it for yourself, you can use my code LauraJonesAcupuncture for up to 15% off at www.fushiwellbeing.com

Slow, consistent, nurturing support like this can make a profound difference to how safe, supported and regulated the body feels over time.

Today marks the first meteorological day of spring 🌱✨ and we’re beginning to notice those first subtle signs of the season awakening all around us - even up here in the highlands :)

In Ayurveda, this seasonal shift signals the rise of Kapha energy (earth + water) – grounding and nourishing, yet sometimes bringing heaviness, sluggishness, or congestion if we’re not mindful. As nature begins to thaw, it’s the perfect time to gently support digestion, energy and overall vitality. This is exactly why I love working with seasonal cleansing rituals, and right now the Fushi Wellbeing gut detox bundle is a beautiful way to reset the system – it’s currently 15% off with code LauraJonesWellbeing at www.fushiwellbeing.com.

This is your gentle invitation to awaken with the season:

✨ Move your body daily to spark energy
✨ Choose warm, light, gently spiced foods
✨ Sip on ginger or tulsi tea to support digestion
✨ Clear physical & emotional clutter to create fresh space

Let the stillness of winter soften into movement and intention, allowing this new season to build vitality rather than stagnation. A beautiful time to align with nature’s rhythm and welcome renewal 🌼

One thing I see time and time again with women’s health journeys is this quiet belief that we should be “better by now”.

Better after treatment.
Better after surgery.
Better after doing all the right things.

But bodies don’t heal to deadlines… they heal to safety, nourishment, and time.

Something I often explain to my patients is that deep healing — especially hormonal and reproductive healing — happens in layers.
First the body stabilises.
Then it repairs.
Then, slowly, it rebuilds resilience.

This is why quick fixes rarely create lasting change, and why gentle, consistent support through nutrition, supplements, acupuncture, and nervous system regulation can make such a profound difference over time.

Right now, alongside everything else, I’m leaning into gentle, supportive practices that help my body feel cared for rather than pushed — things like castor oil packs, high-quality liposomal iron and vitamin C, and very gradual strength-building exercises when my body allows (and much to Pickles’ disgust, the spare human is currently responsible for all the walkies 🐾).

If you’re in a season where progress feels slower than you hoped, please know this:
Your body isn’t failing you. It’s adapting, recalibrating, and doing the best it can with what it’s been through.
Healing is rarely quick, rarely neat, and almost never linear — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening 🤍

I’m very particular about the supplements I recommend to both my patients and in my own recovery, and I personally choose for their quality and bioavailable liposomal formulations.

The Hard Part of Healing That No One Really Talks About

I wanted to share a little update with you all, as I’ve been so open about my fibroid surgery and recovery journey so far.

Unfortunately, I’ve hit a bit of a setback. What I thought were just the usual aches and pains from gently getting back into movement turned out to be more serious, and the pain has increased significantly. For now, that means stepping back again — no lifting, no exercise, and limiting how long I’m on my feet while things are managed medically. It feels like my recovery has been pushed back quite a way, which is really upsetting and disappointing.

If things don’t resolve, further surgery may be needed. That’s a difficult possibility to sit with, and if I’m honest, it also feels like it could be the final closing of the door on my hopes of becoming a mum. I know I’m 46, and I understand the reality, but there’s always that small part of you that quietly hopes you might be one of those miracle women who conceives later in life.

I couldn’t bring myself to film a video about this — I’m just too emotional right now — but I always want to be honest and transparent with you. So many of you are walking similar paths, facing setbacks, uncertainty, and grief, and I want you to know that you are not alone.

My doctor is feeling positive that this will resolve, especially as I’ve been doing all the right things and supporting my body with rest, nourishment, and supplements… so I’m holding onto that hope and taking things one day at a time.

To anyone out there who longed to be a parent but couldn’t — I see you, I feel you, and I’m sending you so much love today 🤍

🐎 Chinese New Year: Welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse 🔥

As we enter the Chinese New Year, we move into the dynamic and powerful energy of the Fire Horse — a combination of bold Yang Fire and the free-spirited Horse archetype.

In Chinese astrology, each year brings a shift in the quality of Qi (vital energy) influencing both the collective and our personal lives. The Horse is associated with movement, visibility, independence and momentum, while the Fire element amplifies passion, expression, courage and transformation.

Together, the Fire Horse year invites us to:
• Take aligned action
• Speak more honestly
• Move forward with courage
• Reignite purpose and vitality

However, Fire must be balanced. Too little and we feel uninspired; too much and we risk burnout, impulsivity or emotional overwhelm. This year asks us to move — but with awareness, pacing and self-regulation.

It is a year of bold steps, not reckless leaps. A year of heart-led momentum, not pressure-driven action.

See what it means for your sign and our collective energies above ✨

🐎 A Simple Ritual to Welcome the Year of the Horse

You’ll need:
• A candle
• A notebook
• A quiet 10 minutes

1️⃣ Light the candle and take 5 slow breaths.
2️⃣ Write: “This year, I am ready to move toward…”
3️⃣ Let yourself answer honestly.
4️⃣ Then write: “To support my energy, I will…”

Horse years are powerful — but they require pacing.

Blow out the candle and choose one small aligned action within 48 hours.

Momentum begins with one step

💗 Valentine’s Day: The Physiology of Love & Wellbeing 💗


Valentine’s Day is often centred around romance, but love is far more than a feeling — it’s a powerful physiological experience that influences our hormones, nervous system and overall health.

When we feel loved, safe and emotionally connected, the body releases oxytocin — often called the “bonding hormone.” This supports relaxation, reduces stress hormones like cortisol, and promotes feelings of calm, trust and emotional resilience 🌿

From a holistic health perspective, love isn’t only about relationships with others… it’s also about the relationship you have with yourself.

Self-compassion, supportive connections and nurturing touch can:
✨ Regulate the nervous system
✨ Improve mood and emotional balance
✨ Support heart health and immune function
✨ Enhance hormonal harmony and overall wellbeing

Today is a gentle reminder that love is not just something we give — it’s something we cultivate daily through rest, nourishment, boundaries and kindness towards ourselves.

A simple Valentine’s wellbeing ritual:
💗 Place one hand on your heart
💗 Take 5 slow, grounding breaths
💗 Reflect on one way you can show yourself care today

Because the most sustainable love begins within… and from that place, it naturally flows outward 🌸
