Castor Oil Therapy
Castor Oil Therapy is a treatment that is focused around the abdomen and visceral organs. Designed and adapted from the Edgar Cayce Treatment. Our treatment method starts with a brief massage to the lower back and hips to warm up the area, then while you lie on your back, warm castor oil (Palma Christi) is applied to the abdomen and massaged into the skin, a wool flannel soaked in Castor Oil is placed with a heating pad help it to deeply penetrate into the body. While the oil is being absorbed you will receive a reflexology treatment on your feet / legs and head, neck and shoulders. When castor oil is absorbed through the skin from these packs, some truly extraordinary events take place:
The lymphocyte count of the blood increases as a result of the oil’s positive influence on the thymus gland, and lymphatic tissue.
The flow of lymph increases throughout the body, speeding up the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and reducing the size of swollen lymph nodes.
You will notice a general overall improvement in organ function with a reduction of fatigue and depression.
As toxicity is reduced, the pH of the saliva becomes less acidic, signaling improved health, and the Peyer’s patches in the small intestines more efficiently absorb fatty acids, which are essential for the formation of hormones and other components necessary for growth and repair.
This treatment is helpful for abdominal adhesions, scar tissue as well as building the uterine lining. We often use is in supporting fertility, menstrual difficulties, digestive bloating, pain and as a supportive therapy while detoxing or cleansing.
