Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is from Edgar Cayce who recommended the pack over 100 years ago. In Europe the plant was known as the Tree of Christ. How to Use Castor OilAccording to healing psychic Edgar Cayce and Dr. McGarey (1), castor oil usually works best when applied to the body topically with a heating pack.In many cases, castor oil can simply be massaged into the skin (for skin lesions, breakouts or warts) or massaged into the afflicated joint or sore muscle.Castor oil may also be used internally in very small quantities (e.g. a drop or two on the tongue for allergies or " hay fever " (1) but this is not recommended for most conditions since the oil is a potent laxative and more than a tiny amount may cause dehydration.Applying a Castor Oil PackCayce's preferred method of using castor oil involves a pack made with a piece of flannel, soaked in castor oil and wrapped around or across the part of the body needing treatment.For a stomach ache or back pain, the oil-soaked cloth is laid across the belly (or back) and held in place with other towels; then heat is applied using a hot water bottle over the pack.An alternate method involves applying the castor oil directly to the skin – for example, rubbing several tablespoons of oil into a sore knee – and then wrapping the area in plastic wrap and sleeping with it on overnight. The thin film of plastic traps warmth close to the body and heats the pack – while also keeping the oil from evaporating or rubbing off on bedclothes and making a mess.Reference(1) McGarey, A., M.D.: Edgar Cayce's Wisdom for the New Age: Healing Miracles.
