Castor Oil - Healing Therapies
How does Castor Oil work?
Castor oil is no doubt a God-given substance
provided for our benefit, but its healing mechanism is still not well
understood.
Increases lymphocyte production
Two separate studies found that abdominal CO packs
significantly increases lymphocyte production (compared to those using placebo packs). Lymphocytes are the disease-fighting cells produced by your immune
system. Lymphocytes are located mainly in
the thymus gland, spleen, and lymph nodes, as well as the tiny patches of
lymphatic tissue that line the small intestine, called Peyer's patches.
One double-blind study,
described by Harvey
Grady in a report entitled
Immunomodulation through Castor
Oil Packs published in a recent issue of the
Journal of Naturopathic Medicine ,
examined lymphocyte
values of 36 healthy subjects before and after topical CO application. This
study identified CO as an anti-toxin, which has impact on the lymphatic system,
and thus enhancing immunological function. The study found that CO pack therapy
of a
minimal 2 hour duration total
general boost in the body's specific defense status, since lymphocytes
actively defend the health of the body by forming antibodies against pathogens
and their toxins. T-cell
lymphocytes and kill viruses, fungi,
bacteria, and cancer cells

Edgar Cayce suggests that CO packs
strengthen the Peyer's Patches. Embedded in the lining of the
lower small intestine, Peyer's patches are oval shaped areas of thickened
lymphatic tissue (much like lymph nodes), a few centimeters in length. Part of
the immune system, they contain white blood cells (especially B-cells) ready to
attack and control growth of pathogenic bacteria in their locale. An adult has
an average of about 30--40 Peyer's patches, less than when they were younger.
Cayce associated Peyer's patches with longevity and
maintenance of good health. According to Cayce, when a
SUBSTANCE produced by the Peyers Patches
reaches the autonomous and the cerebrospinal nervous system via the blood
stream, it facilitates electrical contact between them
the health of the ENTIRE NERVOUS
SYSTEM is maintained through the
SUBSTANCE produced by the Peyer's Patches when they are in good health.
Healing frequency of RICINOLEIC ACID
Castor oil is the only significant natural source of
RICINOLEIC ACID. This unique fatty acid - the only 18
carbon-chain FA with one just one double carbon bond - has a vibrational frequency believed to promote healing
in body cells. Its ONE double carbon bond may possibly work to attract, store and
resonate with sun energy, much the same way as flax seed does.
Lymph drainage
Castor oil benefits are at least partly due
to its ability to drain the lymph.
