Cotton for Castor oil packs
May people are
very unaware of the toxic chemicals used in
conventional cotton also a major user of toxic herbicides,
fungicides and defoliants. During processing, it is subjected to chlorine
bleach, heavy metal dyes and formaldehyde resins (the hidden hazard of 'easy
care treatments'). The bleach is almost worse than pesticides, causing myriad
health problems and vast environmental damage.
Additionally, genetically
modified cotton now accounts for 75% of cotton grown conventionally. It is no
comfort that cotton is also a food crop: cottonseed oil is used in many
processed and snack foods and cottonseed is used in cattle feed.
It is important that you use
toxic free cotton when applying Castor oil packs or making any kind of poultice.
