Castor Oil Packs
Hi people,The reason why I am looking for this castor oil is cos it is known that castor oil pack is very good for lymph nodes drainage and stopping of pain and inflammation. I tried it for 3 days already and true enough, my nodes are getting softer and becoming smaller. Slowly, but surely. So this very wonderful thing, I would like to share with all the wonderwomen and supermen out there who has swelling lymph nodes or bad kidney or liver, and would like to try alternative medication.
Extract: " Physiological effects of the castor oil pack include stimulating the liver, increasing eliminations, relieving pain, increasing lymphatic circulation, improving gastrointestinal function, increasing relaxation and reducing inflammation." found here
Another website that talked about castor oil's goodness here
You can get castor oil from Little India, Singapore. I got mine from 124 Dunlop Street. They are really cheap, 100ml, 1.50. And that is enough to last me for a few cycles.
Place a piece of folded (preferably wool) flannel (or old sock) into a foil or glass dish. Soak it well with castor oil and heat it gently to body temperature in the oven.
Choose a quiet time of the day when you can remain undisturbed. Lie down on your bed (which needs to be well protected from oil stains!), place the oil soaked flannel on the swollen nodes, cover it with a piece of plastic and an old towel. It is a good idea to use a heating pad on low heat to keep it warm. Rest like this for about an hour, and "rest" is a key word. Listen to music, meditate or read if it's convenient.
It is recommended that the packs are used three days on / three days off (which counts as one round) for about 3-4 rounds. After that a longer break is necessary before doing further rounds. The dish with the oiled cloth can be kept tightly covered with plastic in between rounds. Refresh the oil if necessary. If you feel discomfort, irritation or repulsion in any way, discontinue.
The idea behind the effectiveness of castor oil (ricinus) is that it is an irritant and the body tries to reject it, (hence it's power as a laxative when taken internally). When used externally it still gets things moving inside, and some lymph nodes respond well and retreat. Some nodes are difficult to shift and a large under arm node often doesn't respond at all. However, the castor oil pack always alleviates pain caused by the swelling.
I will continue using it but will try 6 cycles instead of the 3-4 rounds as some sites mention that 6 cycles will be good. It is sad how such an amazing oil is so difficult to find in Singapore. So if your cancer is causing ur nodes to swell or any part to hurt, u can try it too.
Refrain from using castor oil pack when you are pregnant or menstrating. Castor oil works like a laxative. DO NOT CONSUME! Unless u have constipation, of cos
