CASTOR OIL

[Guest guest]

dear Carol

 

Many thanks for your article about castor oil.

 

Talking about oils, i recomend to read a book about massage (i do not remember

the name) written by Harish Johari. He was a wrestler at one point and that

book is a very good one regarding Hindu massage.

 

Massage in the west is very misunderstood some times but it is a very healthy activity.

Dear List members, I have read of the healing properties of castor oil, the

oil of the castor bean plant. This inexpensive oil has been found to be an

excellent emollient (skin smoother) as well as being effective in small dosages

(1 teaspoonful) as a lubricant for the intestinal tract that helps rid the body

of toxic buildup in the upper and lower colon. Edgar Cayce said that healing

comes about when the body is attuned to healing vibrations, whether this

attunement is brought about through the use of medicine, surgery, or spiritual

practice; different bodies may require different ways to attain the same

healing that is available to all. Cayce also recommended use of the castor

oil pack to alleviate a variety of ailments. I suggest that this castor oil

pack may be applied for anyone suffering from internal organ disorders as well

as skin disorders. A small flannel cloth (either wool flannel or cotton

flannel cloth) is saturated with castor oil (available at pharmacies in 8 oz.

bottle at nominal cost) and then gently wrung out so the oil does not get too

messy. This pack is then applied to the abdominal area and is covered with a

plastic barrier (food wrap is okay to use) and a heating pad or hot water

bottle is placed on top of the plastic, to gently heat the oil for its better

absorption through the skin. Castor oil is non-greasy. It is readily

absorbed by thirsty skin. A lady at my workplace has had severe problem with

hives--so sever she's lost time at work, so last Friday I brought her some

castor oil which she applied to her hands--and within a few hours, the hives on

her hands were gone. She liked the smooth non-greasy feel of her skin aftter

using the castor oil and said she will buy a bottle and try the heated pack. I

didn't know this would help her, but I'm happy it gave her fast results

already. Castor bean plant has the Latin name, "Palma Christi". This

attests to long-known healing properties of its oil. The abdominal packs have

been found to calm hyperactive children as well as to heal a wide range of

maladies, including cancers in some cases. (Read the book by Dr. William A.

McGarey entitled, "The Oil That Heals".) See this webpage for more

information:http://www.holistic-nutrition.com/Castoroil.htm I merely

pass this information along for anyone who would like to apply a calming oil to

a troubled bodily condition. I hope it would be helpful to you, too. ***

Dear Natabara,

A quick search on the Web gave me this information. Thank you for

recommending this interesting book. I'll look for it!
