Castor Oil (Ricinus oil)
Castor oil packs improve assimilations, eliminations
and circulation (particularly of the lymphatic system)
Castor oil packs have proven to be very effective following visceral massages or in sessions with extremely tender and inflamed tissues. It is extremely beneficial when applied to the right side to reduce liver toxicity. The key, of course, is to know how to apply the pack at home after your massage session for maximum benefit. If you decide to try castor oil packs, be prepared to commit to a series of treatments. It is generally recommended that a castor oil pack be used for 3 to 7 days straight to treat a health condition or for detoxification. It all depends on the treatment purpose.
Castor Oil and the Lymphatic System
When castor oil is absorbed through the skin from
packs, several extraordinary events take place. The lymphocyte count of
the blood increases as a result of the oil's positive influence on the thymus
gland, lymphatic tissue, or both. The flow of lymph increases throughout
the body, speeding up the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and reducing
the size of swollen lymph nodes. The end result is a general overall improvement
in organ function with a lessening of fatigue and depression.
Castor Oil Packs have been used for conditions such as:
Appendicitis
Arthritis
Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder)
Colitis
Congestion
Constipation
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS)

Liver, kidney, and pelvic disorders

Poor eliminations
Scleroderma
Various liver conditions such as cirrhosis and torpid liver

Edgar Cayce
on Castor Oil
Edgar Cayce endorsed abdominal castor oil packs as a home remedy for all
types of problems involving lymph flow, such as:
Inflammation
Congestion
Constipation
Liver, kidney, and pelvic disorders
Problems: Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder), poor eliminations, epilepsy, various liver conditions such as cirrhosis and torpid liver, scleroderma, headaches, appendicitis, arthritis, incoordination between assminilations and eliminations, colitis, intestinal disorders such as stricture and colon impaction, incoordination between nervous systems, neuritis, and toxemia.
The following reading excerpts give further information on the function of the castor oil pack as per Cayce's case studies:
"The effect of these oil packs is to enliven,
through the activity of the absorption through the perspiratory system,
the activities in such natures and measures as to produce a greater quantity
(than at present) and a superficial activity of the lymph circulation; hence
setting up drainages to such measures that the poisons will be eliminated
from the system..."
[#631-4]
"Or there may be the use of hot Castor Oil Packs that may assist in so dissolving the gravel in the gall duct and the gall bladder that it might be drained osteopathically, after a long series. This would require a much longer period but would be a much safer manner." [#3160-1]
"From EVERY condition that is of true epileptic nature there will be found a cold spot or area between the lacteal duct and the caecum. Over this area every other day, in the afternoon when the body rests from its physical exercise in the open, apply Castor Oil packs, for a period of at least TWO times every other day...We will break up this tendency for the lymph ducts, in the ducts of the lacteals and in the caecum and colon (ascending here), that tendency for contraction and for the activities that help to bring on the conditions that produce incoordination to the nerve forces of the body." [#567-4]
