The Crazy Wonders of Castor Oil
Castor Oil is a marvelous and special healer. It has the ability to strengthen the immune system and heal disease (and is completely safe) yet it is derived from the same plant as ricin, a deadly poison with no antidote!
Native to India, castor oil has been used for centuries for its medicinal benefits. The plant was referred to as "Palma Christe" because the leaves were said to resemble the hand of Christ. It was later adopted for medicinal use in Ancient Egypt, China, Persia, Africa, Greece, Rome, and eventually in 17th Century Europe and the Americas.
The oil is a very pale yellow liquid that is extracted from castor seeds (Ricinus Communis). It is an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and triglyceride, comprised of fatty acids. 90 percent is ricinoleic acid. This unique fatty acid is found in lower concentrations in a few other seeds and oils and is thought to be responsible for castor oil's unique healing properties.
The oil's healing capabilities go way beyond moisturizing the skin! Since it can also strengthen the immune system, castor oil is considered a great remedy to treat the following major illnesses and ailments:
It has also been found to help with many everyday problems such as:
- Yeast Infections
- Constipation
- Gastrointestinal Problems
- Menstrual Disorders
- Migraines
- Acne
- Sunburn
- Athlete's Foot
- Ringworm
- Skin Abrasions
- Inflammation
The Way It Heals
When castor oil is absorbed through your skin, your lymphocyte count increases. Lymphocytes are your immune system's disease-fighting cells and are produced and stored mainly in your lymphatic tissue (thymus gland, spleen, and lymph nodes). Hundreds of miles of lymphatic tubules allow waste to be collected from your tissues and transported to your blood for elimination, a process referred to as lymphatic drainage. When your lymphatic system is not working properly, waste and toxins can build up and make you sick. Increased lymphocytes speed up the removal of toxins from your tissues, which promotes healing.
What an amazing extra jump to cleanse your body of toxic junk!
How to Use It
The famous psychic, Edgar Cayce, swore by the benefits of the castor oil pack. For all intents and purposes, the whole point is to add heat to the oil to stimulate the healing. It works all over the body. If you have a kidney problem, put oil on the kidney area and apply heat. A cyst? Same thing. Just add oil, heat, feel a little tingle, and literally watch the magical healing occur! I used it on myself and witnessed the healing occur overnight after doing this on my skin.
You can simply rub castor oil onto an affected area of your skin. Or, you can affix a Band-Aide soaked in castor oil if only a very small area needs to be treated. For larger or more systemic applications, it can be used as a massage oil, which is reported to be especially effective when applied along your spinal column, massaged along your lymphatic drainage pathways. But the coup de grace of castor oil therapy is the "castor oil pack."
