How to make a Castor Oil Pack
When making a castor oil pack, the best material to use
to hold the oil, is wool flannel. It needs to be non dyed and/or treated
wool flannel. The oil puts whatever is in the cloth into your body. If you
can't get the wool flannel use cotton: no dyes if possible. To start with
it is best to boil the new material for five minutes: don't use soap and
let the material dry well.
If you lie down on your bed to have this treatment,
it's a good idea to cover the bed with a sheet of plastic. A large bin
bag, cut in half, is very good for this purpose.
Fold the wool flannel in two, soak it lightly in castor
oil: don't use too much, because when you do, the castor oil flows when
heated. If you put in too much, squeeze it out gently. You don't want it
to drip. Put cling film or plastic on top of the material. Place a hot
water bottle on top of the plastic. This thins down the castor oil and
allows it to go through the skin and into the body. You can use an
electric heating pad. Cover it all with towels to keep the heat in. Leave
the pack on for an hour or two: 90 minutes is a sensible time. The oil
goes through into the stomach area and starts a healing process. It can
put the bowels, the liver and the kidneys right and can even reach right
through the body to help the spine. Use the pack 3 days in a row, or for a
maximum of 4 days in any one week. You can re-use the material 28 times
without boiling it again. Just add to the original quantity each time.
This means that it is only with the first application that a lot of oil is
required. When washing the material after 28 uses, add bicarbonate of soda
to the water: this helps to remove the oil. Then boil it again in clean
water, for a short time.
You may clean the body after each use with a cloth
soaked in water and bicarbonate of soda or just rub your body clean with a
paper towel. Put the flannel into a plastic bag in between treatment and
close the bag to keep it clean. The correct oil should last at least five
years.
Treatments using Castor Oil
Pack
Castor oil packs on the stomach were recommended for
the following sicknesses: arthritis, blood in
urine, cancer, colitis, constipation, epilepsy, gallstones, gastritis, migraine,
hernias, Hodgkin's disease, hypertension and hyperactivity in children, help immune
system, insomnia, strangulation of
kidneys, and all kidney problems, cirrhosis of
the liver, multiple sclerosis, neuritis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's
disease, sterility, ringworm and uraemia, clears uterine
fibroids.
It can help a mother avoid a
miscarriage. Apply before
giving birth even when one knows that the body is healthy. This also leads
to one having an easy birth. Using it for three months is ideal and keep
to the rules: on for three days and off for three or four, setting up a
weekly cycle. It trains the body to be its own healer and to stop
dependency one must have a break.
The Edgar Cayce readings mention it as a
good cure for about thirty other diseases. If in doubt, use it. When use
for appendicitis do not apply heat. This means that you should always use
your common sense when using this or any other cure recommended by this
source. For sprains, broken
bones, any kind of damage or puncturing of the
body, backaches or pains of any kind etc: apply directly to the problem
area and leave on for as long as possible. In this last example, you may
boil the piece of flannel as often as it needs cleaning.
Should you suffer from a problem such as psoriasis in
your hair, you need to alkalinise the body before using it. A salad diet
can do this. Soak the scalp in castor oil before going to sleep at night
and wear a plastic shower cap to keep it in and to stop it being wasted.
Eat salads at, at least, two meals every day. Put an old towel over the
pillow to protect it.
For osteo arthritis, do the castor oil packs as given
above and rub peanut oil into the pain areas twice a day. Also eat a good
alkaline diet, by adding salads to two meals a day. Don't eat potatoes or
tomatoes. These two vegetables belong to the deadly nightshade family of
plants and are bad for arthritics and for those with skin problems.
For rheumatoid arthritis, follow as above but add in
ATOMIDINE to get the glands working. (ATOMIDINE can be purchased from
Edgar Cayce society). Also have two baths, a week apart, each lasting for
half an hour, with 7 kilos or 16 pounds weight of Epsom Salts in the water
each time. Your friendly local chemist will get this for you. The Epsom
Salts pull the poisons out of the body. This bath weakens you excessively,
so you need a friend or someone with you to get out of the bath
afterwards. It will shatter you, but you'll be all right.
For warts, cysts and
moles, mix the castor oil with bicarbonate
of soda, half and half, and rub in the soft mixture gently morning and
every night for about five minutes each time.
For other skin problems, rub the castor oil directly on
the cut or sore spot or whatever. For Sciatica, rub the castor oil into
the paid area, but you need to rub cold pressed peanut oil into the spine
as well. You also probably need a spinal adjustment.
