Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I get them from a store that sells supplements, herbs and homeopathic treatments. I have also heard that health food stores have them. I get a bottle of the castor oil and the flannel comes in a separate pouch.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Hi. I used castor oil packs almost every night for three months after being diagnosed with cataracts prior to my UAE. I just used a cotton t-shirt cut up and soaked it with castor oil, then applied my heating pad which I covered with a pillowcase. You use some new cloth every few days. So far as I know the treatment didn't affect my fibroids - it certainly didn't shrink them. However when I used the packs I did experience a profound, almost hypnotic sense of relaxation, quite different from what I would experience when I simply applied the heating pad. The only thing you have to watch is not to fall asleep with the heating pad on high, as I did several times. You will burn your tummy. It's interesting this castor oil thing pops up all the time- I know Edgar Cayce recommended it for various things, Dr. Northrup mentions it and when I browse through herbal remedies manuals, natural pharmacy books etc it is often mentioned - usually in connection with some kind of benefit to the lymphatic system.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I had a strange symptom of having flu like feelings in my arms and legs during the first few days of my period. Oddly enough...the castor oil packs used 3x per week between periods got rid of that. I read to use them for 3 days and then stop and not to use them during your period. From what I learned, they draw toxins out of the liver which is very helpful for getting rid of excess estrogen which is one of the liver's jobs. With all the toxins in our systems from poor diet and pollution, chemicals, etc. this is very important. This may not be a couple of months and your fibroid shrinks sort of a thing. It may be long and on-going. It is very soothing. Other benefits of castor oil packs is that they get circulation going to the pelvic area which aids with constipation. At the beginning of my natural remedies efforts when I had terrible constipation...it didn't seem to do anything dramatic but as I started using herbs for this and got it cleared up...when I do packs now...I am quite aware of the " eliminative effects " ! The circulation is also said to be good for healing fibroids as is exercise and alternating hot and cold packs to the abdominal area. I bought some flannel and a bottle of the oil. When I first did it I used too much oil and it was messy and a bit of a nuisance which turned me off to it. If you get the flannel well soaked but wrung out its not that messy at all. Just be aware that when you apply the hot water bottle on top (having put saran wrap over your entire abdominal area first) the heat will " melt " the oil a bit and so you might want to lie on an old towel until you get the amount of oil worked out so it doesn't run. You then keep the pack in a plastic bag or container in the fridge and can heat it up in the microwave before using again. The oil is very moisturizing so whatever you get on your hands and body is a good thing:-) Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG, Can you tell me the name of the book that contains the reference to castor oil packs for fibroids? I have a paperback copy of " Edgar Cayce Encyclopedia of Healing " , copyright 1986. There is a section on uterine tumors but there is no mention of castor oil packs. Thanks, Donna Jung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
