Expert Reveals Ancient Oil Hack That Melts Belly Fat During Sleep

Tired of complicated diets and endless workout routines that don't seem to target stubborn belly fat? An unexpected solution might be hiding in your kitchen cabinet. Dr. Janine Bowring, a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and mother of five, has rediscovered an ancient remedy that's helping people transform their bodies while they sleep. In this article, she reveals her step-by-step process for using this traditional oil in a modern fat-loss approach.

The Ancient Oil Making a Modern Comeback

"Belly fat is usually the most difficult to deal with and to eradicate," Dr. Bowring says in her post. Her solution draws from traditional medicine: "Castor oil is a vegetable oil made from the seed of the Ricinus communis plant. These are castor beans and they have a very high triglyceride fatty acid composition, and it's 90% of those fatty acids. The active ingredient is known as oleic acid."

The science behind this ancient remedy is compelling. Dr. Bowring explains, "What this is known to do is to help to extract toxins. It helps to increase our inner circulation, helps with detoxification and helps to improve our glutathione levels. Glutathione is our mother of all antioxidants, which plays an important role in our liver detoxification."

This remedy does more than target fat. "Especially for women, but for the guys as well, helps with estrogen detoxification," Dr. Bowring reveals. "We also know that castor oil helps to improve overall circulation. It helps to heat things up as well as helping to eradicate that extra water weight that you may be holding onto in the midsection."

Choosing the Right Oil for Results

Success starts with quality ingredients. "Make sure it's a high quality one and that it doesn't have any hexane. So hexane free castor oil," Dr. Bowring emphasizes. She notes this is "a great and surprising hack that maybe you've never seen before."

The Nighttime Application Ritual

The application process is specific and purposeful. "I put a couple of tablespoons on my palm, and I do this always at bedtime," Dr. Bowring shares. She continues, "I go around five times clockwise around my abdomen with that castor oil. Then I go over to the ileocecal valve... and then my last move to help to move that lymph is downwards motion. So down each side of the abdomen down five times."

The Essential Wrapping Method

The wrapping technique is crucial for overnight effectiveness. "Get some cotton or flannel, something that has ideally not been bleached or washed in any type of toxic detergent," Dr. Bowring instructs. "All you're going to do now with that cotton or flannel, you are going to now wrap that around the abdomen, the entire midsection where you have applied that castor oil."

A practical consideration is important here. "Don't wear really nice bed clothing, your pajamas. Make sure it's not your best silk pajamas because it will ruin, it will stain. So I just wear like an old t-shirt and shorts to bed when I'm doing this, and because it will, that castor oil will stain your clothes."

Making the Most of Your Materials

Sustainability is built into this ancient practice. "You can actually reuse your flannel. Just keep it in a jar overnight and you reuse it the next night. Now, after about 10 use or so, I wash the flannel and then start using it again."

Tracking Your Transformation

Documentation helps prove the power of this traditional method. "Take before and after pictures," Dr. Bowring advises. "You will actually be amazed at how well this works, helping from the inside out." For best results, she notes, "You can do this all seven days of the week if you like to help to melt away that belly fat."
