Lymphatic Malformation
★★★★★
I've had extremely good results with Castor Oil. I'm a big believer in this stuff. I buy big bottles of it at a time, it's great. I use it, whenever I have a problem. Edgar Cacey was a Christian, and always gave credit where credit was do, to God, and he felt motivated by him. There have been many, many documented reports over the decades of Castor oil really helping a lot of people for a wide spectrum of ailments. I put her on Castor oil packs about 4 times a week for two months, and the cyst went WAY down, and has stayed that way for a while now. Now, I'm not 100% sure that was what worked for her, but we seem to notice it beginning to shrink and a response from her as soon as we started her on the packs.
The packs are messy, and it's not easy to get a child to hold still for a pack on their abdominal area. So, I used an old throw away shirt, and safety pins. I safety pinned the saturated flannel section on the inside of the front of the shirt to cover her stomach, and generously massaged a large amount of the oil all over her cysts on her neck and throat. I did this regime at night, and in the morning gave her a bath or a shower. The heating pad is not really necessary, but helps, a lot. I did not do a heat source on her, because she is so young, she would never sit still for it. The first few nights, she was restless, and agitated, and was running a mild fever. Then in the morning, the fever would break. We noticed it getting smaller from than on. It really seemed to help her those packs. She seem to have a lot of energy and be in a good mood, the mornings after the packs. If and when this happens again, I'll try the packs again. Castor oil is great. Hope this helps her. Like Cacey said, Do the packs along with a prayer for healing.

For anyone with Lymphatic Malformation out there. Chocolate should be taken out of the diet, and Sugar, minimized.
My daughter has not had a flare up since I have completely omited chocolate and large amounts of Sugar from the diet. I even tested her out with the chocolate and she got a flare up the next day.

A plant-based diet with plenty of greens, fresh fruit & veg juices and whole fruit is great for clearing the lymph. Dr. Morse is a great proponent of getting the lymph clear. Blocked lymph can apparently be at the root of most developed disease.

Jomi,
It looks like castor oil and baking soda will also work for skin infections and itching very efficiently. Thank you for your info.

I know this is old, but how did you use the castor oil and baking soda? Perhaps just mix it into a paste? Thank you to anyone with the answer to this.

Pain

I am wondering what the procedure is typically in using castor oil packs for headaches and migraines. I am also wondering, when we succeed in conceiving, will it be safe to continue to use a castor oil pack to help with joint pain and muscular tension in the neck? Or would it be safer to stop using them altogether?
Thank you for all of your help!
Blessings and Light,

Dear Mallory,
Regarding the use of castor oil on your neck during pregnancy...personally, if it were me, I would be comfortable using it during pregnancy on my neck, at least in the beginning.
The concern with castor oil is that your body absorbs it and it could get to the baby, causing a laxative effect and release of meconium, which ideally won't happen until after birth. But that isn't going to be an issue early in pregnancy.
Perhaps with regular use of the castor oil on your neck regularly, by time time it wouldn't be a good idea for the baby's sake, it would no longer be necessary.
I am sorry about the migraines. You have tried so many things. And you will have less options during pregnancy. I am not sure of the procedure for castor oil packs for migraines. But maybe you are discovering it yourself with these packs on your neck! Let us know! :)

Oooh! I've been trying to grow mine back so I could experiment on them some more and I'm SO trying this!! And I highly recommend linen socks - they're cheap and don't last forever but they're also AWESOME! I just applied CO to my feet and put mine on and it's...well...AWESOME - and you can wear them upside down when they get holes in the bottom. Haven't had much success mending them...
Another recommendation is one of those bath mats that looks like a big, flat, plastic loofah, so you don't slip in the shower if you are using castor oil on your feet. And, definitely Kirk's castile and Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soaps. I use the Bronner's in a foamer at the kitchen sink that I use for just about everything and Kirk's for the shower. Both cut castor oil and do a pretty good job cutting borax, as well.

Sawdust in the Eye

He wasn't home for quite a while and I think he was probably rubbing it some. When he came in his eye was red and swollen and before I even asked what happened I asked if he was having an allergic reaction. When he explained what happened, I wasn't sure if his eye was just irritated or if he was having a reaction or both.
I had him take Benadryl and I put a drop of castor oil in his eye. Within minutes he had some relief. I repeated the castor oil before bed and by morning his eye looked and almost felt normal.
He is not a complainer and was very uncomfortable. I was afraid we would have to get an emergency appointment with the eye doctor, but the castor oil did the trick!
I am pretty sure I reported this cure before when his older brother had wood dust in his eye, but this tip is one to keep in mind, so here I am again with it. :)

Nothing like castor oil for many things. Also great to help with Cataracts!

Unfortunately I have herpes outbreaks often over the many years of suffering and trying pharmaceuticals and natural remedies I found on my own that applying castor oil on a spot at the very first sign of an outbreak makes it go away very quickly. If you have cold sores it is the best for healing
It hasn't cured me of the virus but it sure helps with healing
There is no cure for the virus, it sits in the nerve root and b/c active under certain conditions. One is sunlight, another is a compromised immune system. L lysine also is good treatment for cold sores. When going out in the sun find a lip balm that is also a sun blocker, that keeps the virus at bay.

YES YES YES!!! I use Super Lysine whenever I start to feel run down, or if in the summer I've been out in the sun too long. If I miss the window and a cold sore starts, I go heavy on the Vitamin C (up to 10,000mg throughout the day) for a few days. Vitamin C can knock just about anything out, or at least keep it at bay until something else comes along. Also, for direct lip balm application, I use Herpecin-L, excellent stuff. Several dabs a day with h2o2 also helps.

Hi
As a budding Musician (Drums) in the late 60's, I bought some exercises so I would not need to practise, the exercises involved, concentrating on the fingertips as the wrist is rotated and another which began with a clenched fist, and the hand then springs open.
One day I did the springing hand thing and it felt like the elastic band in my Left wrist snapped, I was in pain for years. The pain went away completely about forty years later when I wore a wrist strap for a few days-ish.
I moved from london to the irish countryside and tried my hand at a bit of farming around 2000, whilst erecting a polly tunnel, I aggravated my right wrist and hand when digging, trenching in and back filling the polly tunnel covering, I was so determined to get the job done, I went back with sore Right wrist and hand, and completed the job but: it seemed like my farming and music playing days were over, I could still hook things up with my hands though.
When I heard about Castor Oil (again) I got a bottle and felt enthusiastic about the potential results and just before bed time, applied a profuse amount to my right wrist, hand and arm and the surplus got spread over my left limb accordingly.
When I awoke, the middle, ring and little fingers on my Left hand were numb, that was about three years ago and I have not used Castor oil since, I did strechy exercises and had some Bowen treatment, along with regularly dosing myself with Mag Phos Biochemic tissue salts (they are amassing and work) my little finger is still numb around the tip and My right hand is still quite painful along the little finger side of the hand and up into the wrist when articulated.
Reading about Castor Oil again tonight here, has prompted me to contact you to ask, can you shine a light on the reaction I had with castor oil, because all the other comments about the substance are very positive.
Side Effects
Has anyone ever thought that it could be a "Herxheimer Reaction" (healing crisis)? I have been using castor oil for one week around my eye area but not in the eye. The first 4 to 5 days I woke up with a lot of sleep in my eyes, which never really happens. I do not get it any more so I'm assuming my eyes are healing. I am still using the castor oil but will start putting a drop in each eye. Just a thought, as with all natural remedies there is a healing crisis period.

Yes. I agree.
Castor oil is a ‘drawer'. It can pull toxins out - or enable the body to push them out by its ability to increase white blood cell status in the area - and many of us have used quite toxic cosmetics & products over the years. Conjunctivitis, like anything coming out of the body anywhere, is a purging symptom. It's likely to only be a temporary issue.
Often, reactions we get to a natural substance comes not from the substance itself, but what it is doing to help cleanse & detox the body. But people assume it's the substance they are reacting to & stop using it - which of course appears to resolve the problem. But the toxins may still be present, secreted away in the tissues.

I find castor oil is too thick for sensitive skin underneath the eyes and causes extreme puffiness for days if I put it anywhere near my eyes. But I am extremely sensitive to most eye creams and can't use them. Perhaps cutting the castor oil with avocado oil or another carrier oil would be gentler. Not in the eyes of course, just around the eyes.
I find it has just enough grip to give the face muscles a good workout, if you engage them against the direction you're rubbing. I've always massaged and exercised my face, have never been "delicate" with my skin, don't wear makeup and have always appeared younger than my age to others. Aside from when I woke up after sleeping off the Covid. I looked about 80! ROFL! BUT, I've got my strength back - thanks to rebounding - and everything's back to normal now!

Yes. Castor oil can help the body detox. It helps to pull or move gunk out of the lymph.

I didn't have this problem, maybe your fingers or oil where contaminated by some bacterias. This can happen with any product, make up or cream that gets into your eyes.

I had trouble with a reaction to regular castor oil purchased at the pharmacy...my lips swelled up. Switched to "cold pressed organic" and have never had a problem since. The regular pharma kind is processed with chemicals, hence the bad reaction.
