Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Hi there, I am new to the gorup and also relatively new to herbs. I have used castor oil psack sbefore, so I thought I'd offer the way I did it. Heat some castor oil in a bowl over hot water (like you would melt chocolate... if you can remember chocolate heheh) until it is comfortably warm (not too hot). Soak a muslin cloth in the oil and gently squeeze out the excess just enough to stop it dripping too much. Place the cloth over the affected area. Cover this with some cling film, then a warm towel and a hot water bottle and a blanket. Get the "patient" to rest for about 20 minutes while the castor oil does its job. Smoking: I did hear somewhere that lobelia tincture (Lobelia inflata) is very useful in helping to give up. Has anyone else heard this? If so, do you have any more details?
