Montana Brown reveals the bizarre health routine she swears by to 'aid digestion and reduce inflammation'
The former Love Island star, 29, said she uses a caster oil pack every night before bed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
Sharing a video of herself removing the pack, Montana flashed her jaw-dropping abs.
Montana captioned the post: 'Why I use a castor oil pack every night before bed?
'aids digestion, keeps my skin hydrated overnight to help with excess skin postpartum, cheap!, supports lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation'.
Montana is not the first celebrity to use the oil. In March 2021, Dame Helen Mirren told her followers on Instagram: 'Things I like...Castor oil. Not for its laxative properties, but for hair, skin, nails.'

Castor oil is widely known to be an excellent natural remedy for constipation, but can also be used to benefit your hair, skin, and face.
And in September last year, Kelsey Parker claimed that castor oil had changed her life and was her 'new best friend'.
Kelsey, who was married to Tom Parker from The Wanted, before he tragically lost his battle with brain cancer, raved: 'I want to talk about castor oil.
'I have this organic castor oil which has become my new best friend. I was recommended castor oil by 'The Skin Angel', but basically castor oil has changed my life in such a short period of time.
'I use the castor oil as a moisturiser because I am so dry. At the moment I'm looking all nice and shiny because this is what castor oil does.
'It also promotes hair growth, so your eyelashes will grow, you can put it on your eyebrows.
Kelsey added: 'Also, it's an anti-inflammatory, it's also an antioxidant and its anti-fungal.'
Earlier this year Montana - who is already a mum to Jude one - welcomed her second child, Miley, with her fiancé Mark O'Connor via a home birth.

She opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech.
Montana said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she insisted she wanted to follow her head and heart and stay at home.
The reality star enlisted the help of a private doula for her home birth, who assured her both she and her daughter were safe.
Montana shared that her home birth was 'magical' but she had felt really when her waters broke due to Miley being breech, with one of the baby's legs popping out first.
However she thanked her 'rock' Mark, doula Emiliana and midwife Heather for relaxing her before Miley 'flew out' two pushes later.

Watch Love Island Helena's fuming reaction as Harry rates ex Emma's kiss better than hers in saucy challenge
HELENA was left fuming after Harry rated his ex Emma and Shakira a better kisser than hers in tonight's snogging challenge. The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn. 3 3 The boys then rated each snog out of ten, which lead to some major jealous reactions. After enjoying kisses with all the girls, Harry scored Helena an eight, but gave Emma an 8.5 and Shakira a 9. During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her. When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me." Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn. She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma." Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of." Emma said in the Beach Hut: "I just thought why not, he probably missed me." After giving Emma a higher score, Helena looked furious and later pulled Harry for a chat. Earlier in the episode, Harry appeared to have his head turned AGAIN as he pulled Shakira for a chat. Harry tried to make amends following the Couple of Sorts game and the comment he made suggesting she was still interested in him. He told her: 'I'm not trying to come between anything you're doing. "I think if you did like me, you'd go after it… you're a smart girl and you'd do what you want.' 'I think the world of you,' he continued. 'I just wanted to apologise to you and I am sorry.' Shakira replied: 'What was said in the kitchen was so misconstrued… "For you guys to bring it up in a challenge is stupid and I don't know why you did it to be honest. "I thought it was uncalled for but I appreciate your apology.' But Harry then went digging to find out if Shakira had regrets about them splitting. A curious Harry asked: 'Do you think it would have been a better experience for you if we were to stay together?' Shakira shut him down and replied: "No, I think you would have just continued hurting me." Harry shockingly replied: "But I think it would have been a better experience." Shakira added: "I mean we had a good time." ITV2 viewers were shocked at Harry appearing to try and rekindle his romance with Shakira, as viewers praised Shakira for "friend-zoning" him. Harry later enjoyed a flirty chat with new bombshell Angel, telling her that she'd love to be in his bed. Helena was left fuming and interrupted their conversation to tell him that she doesn't feel that he's given her any reassurance. Harry insisted that he still just wants Helena and promised to shut things down with Angel going forward. 3

Alongside a montage featuring snaps of herself cradling her son Sky, she wrote: "It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. Some days are harder than others. "My movement is good, still very sore, but I am getting more like myself every day. Mentally it's all catching up with me. So giving myself a little space to feel it all. It's a [rollercoaster] for sure." The singer revealed her little one and partner had travelled abroad to visit relatives whilst she concentrated on rest and recovery. The Poker Face singer said: "Sky has gone away for 2 weeks with his Dad to his Danish fam, but also so I can rest and do physio. (And re organise the whole house with my Mum and my sister as my body) lol. My adhd and ocd still going strong." She continued: "I'm not allowed to pick Sky up for a few months and that has been a difficult adjustment, I just want to hold him like this and spin around. But in the bigger picture it's a small sacrifice to have my health and to still be here. The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can't wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. I love being your mum Sky. I miss my boys." Fans soon flooded the comments with messages of encouragement, with one follower penning: "you are so strong! ! Sending you so much love," whilst Strictly star Amy Dowden added: "Sending so much love!" "Such immense strength and courage , none of know how strong we are until put to the test , the human spirit is incredible," another fan remarked. Jessie J had posted an adorable video of her son Sky three weeks before, who she shares with basketball star Chanan Colman, performing at the recording studio whilst she beamed with pride. She captioned the moment: "This is so special. This little boy is the brightest light in my whole world." The singer has been keeping followers informed during her challenging health battle, offering an update two weeks after her operation. She had previously revealed how she switched into 'survival mode' after receiving her diagnosis.
