Ease Your Pain with Castor Oil Packs
Castor oil packs are an old technique that is simple, yet powerful in its healing. Pain, swelling or inflammation in any organ can be reduced if not eliminated easily. Castor oil packs can help conditions such as gall bladder pain, stomach pain, colitis, irritable bowel, fibroids, menstrual cramping, abdominal cramping, tender breasts, sore nipples from breast feeding. These packs can correct imbalances, such as shrinking tumors, ganglion cysts, even helps rid the body of warts.
I have been continually amazed at the results with my patients, so I have to share this with my readers.
The way it works is through the lymph system. Moving the lymph is detoxifying to the body and therefore is healing. Running, or doing yoga helps move the lymph. Lymph nodes are located through out the entire body. They carry immune cells and carry away waste. These nodes are connected by channels and the channels end up dumping into the venous system and then go to the liver. When Castor oil is applied to the skin, the Castor oil moves through the skin into the lymph system and radically stimulates movement here. This movement is detoxifying to the organ that is in need of healing, therefore, reducing pain and inflammation.

Castor oil is extracted from the seed of the castor plant, latin name is ricinus communis. While it was Edgar Cayce who brought castor oil packs to fame in the 20th century, the oil has a long and varied history of use as a healing agent in folk medicine around the world. According to a research report in a recent issue of the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine, castor bean seeds, believed to be 4,000 years old, have been found in Egyptian tombs, and historical records reveal the medicinal use of castor oil in Egypt (for eye irritations), India, China (for induction of childbirth and expulsion of the placenta), Persia (for epilepsy), Africa, Greece, Rome, Southern Europe, and the Americas. In ancient Rome, the castor oil plant was known as Palma Christi, which translates into hand of Christ. This name is still sometimes used today.
