Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hey All: I've heard that a flannel bit soaked in slightly-heated castor oil and left overnight on a cyst will get rid of it. My husband has a cyst about the size of a fingernail that's right next to his eye, and I'd really like to help him get rid of it, but I can't figure out how to get the compress to stay on, and I need to be careful not to get anything in his eye. The doctors have looked at the cyst, which is under the skin, and they said it's benign and not infected and shouldn't cause a problem; and of course they kindly offered to remove it by slicing his face open. Can anybody tell me how to use the castor oil compress on this, or another remedy that will work? Thanks lots! --Sara T. httpd://www.boredmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Cysts can be zapped with simple radio-frequency electricity. There's a device called a Violet Ray which is actually just a fairly simple Tesla coil that i've used with great success for this problem. The neat thing is that it will work anywhere, including a sensitive area like next to the eye. You may be able to ask around to find a naturopath or chiropractor who has one.
