> Thanks,

Hi

I use a castor oil pack whenever I do my gallbladder flush. Here's how I do

it - others may have different methods.

I pour the castor oil onto a folded piece of plain cotton flannel (just don't

use anything with dyes in it), soaking it fairly well. I have a plastic bag

laying underneath it just to keep any excess oil from getting onto anything

else. I put the flannel directly against my skin, right around the

gallbladder area and then I put my heating pad on top of that. I usually

keep it there for the duration of the cleanse (until I go to sleep).

If you don't have a heating pad, you could heat the oil before you put it

onto the cloth. Just be REALLY careful that you don't burn yourself.

Remember that the skin on your abdominal area is not as 'weathered' as the

skin on the hands. So - what feels hot to the touch with the fingers might

feel much more hot on other areas.

Another possibility might be to have two pieces of flannel and have the oven

just on the warm setting. If your spouse is at home he could bring you one

piece and let the other one warm and alternate them when the one on you gets

cool. Just a thought. But I'm sure you can figure somethign out that will

work with your own situation. :)

Castor oil packs are good for so many things! I've just discovered them

about six months ago and think they're great. :)

in health,

p.s. Had to giggle at this - in my early morning sleepiness I originally gave

this email the subject line of " cholesterol pack " . That's surely the LAST

thing we want!

, yer a sweetie...thanks for the nice post of castor oil packs and I

forwarded your congrats to my honey. He needs all the praise he can get...and

yeah! I'm really proud of him. We have a colema board and now it's his idea

(always mine) to do a bowel cleanse this next weekend. Seeing gallstones can

inspire all kinds of good health habits. of DH

I too am the queen of the castor oil pack. They are terrific. This is what I

do now, having tried several other more traditional options (like Mama's which

is EXACTLY what the directions tell you to do) prior to this -- again, this

is simple, not perfect, not too elegant but gets the job done for me.

I line the area I am going to be with black plastic garbage bags (usually 2).

I have some OLD bath towels handy.

I take a shower or bath to warm up the area and open the skin's pores. I dry

off and then take a handful of castor oil and smooth it on the liver area or

whatever hurts or is swollen. I like the Palma Christi brand, costs about $4 I

think, since its pretty pure -- from heritage products part of edgar cayce

foundation- 1-800-862-2923. I buy it from the health foods store here.

I then go to bed or get on the couch ON the black plastic bag to keep the

castor oil off the sheets or couch. I then cover the area with a WHITE trash can

size bag (color is not important <G>, but size is) although a garbage can size

will do here too. I cover the white trash bag with a hot water bottle or

bottles and 1 or two of those old towels to hold in the heat and then either

read,

sleep or look at TV. You can pull up the covers at this point and drift off

if you can hold those hot water bottles in place (a smaller pillow on either

side to hold those guys helps.)

It is very soothing to me so I usually end up asleep anyway. I bake AT LEAST

30 minutes although longer is ok -- the worst thing that will happen is that

your bowels will get a little loose, but that is a good thing when you are

having liver/gb issues.

Later (after 3 am) I usually discard the plastic bags since I get hot

sleeping on them, but put one of those old towels that are now hanging around on

the

sheets to keep any final traces of that castor oil corralled.

I was told I could do 2 packs/a day if the pain warranted -- I usually do at

least 1-2 a week as a maintenance item, more if the area feels tight.

Its easy, not my fav smell but the relief makes it worth it.

Mama, I never thought of the bottle on your back -- how cool is that.

You can certainly use a heating pad. The big issue is getting the oil on

stuff. I like the hot water bottle personally since I can control the heat and

it

will only get cooler as it cools off and I sometimes worry about a heating pad

if I fall asleep.

Actually I use a hot water bottle nearly every night to keep that bile duct

open and elastic. On the Chinese clock , 11pm-1am is Gall Bladder time and

1am-3am is liver time. Most problems usually occur near those times or at 11

am-3

pm in the afternoon. Its called the midday-midnight rule which I doubt anyone

cares about but....

I try to solve those sneak-attack issues, since I like to sleep without any

excitement by using a hot water bottle (some people might prefer a heating

pad) over that area with or without castor oil when I get in bed.

Enough.....

The caster oil packs sound nice, and I believe I've

read thy pull impurities. But I think that the biggest

affect you are getting is from the heat itself...it relaxes

the ducts, and when you are lying on your back you

are relaxed, easier for things to move out of the

ducts and gallbladder, or perhaps if a stone is

blocking, when relaxed it will settle back into the

gallbladder. My favorite solution for the same thing

is my large tube sock filled with popcorn (you can

use beans, too) that I heat up in the microwave for

about three minutes (varies with microwave)...the

corn doesn't pop, and I then lie down and put where

it is uncomfortable...usually along the right just

under the rib cage, and down the middle of my

abdomon. It always helps, and it's not uncommon

to feel a thing " gurgle " and relief that follows.

Sometime if I'm sitting up, I'll take the heated sock

and lean on it where my back may ache and often

get the same effect. It's so easy, and I like it better

than hot water bottle, nothing to prepare, just pop it

in the microwave, can be used for months!

(This isn't to say Caster Oil Packs aren't helpful,

just another quick, easy solution.)
