Castor Oil Testimonials - Multiple Cures Reported

I began using Castor Oil Packs [COP] a few years ago and can swear by them...even my mother swears by it now after falling and damaging her knee...all was well overnight after applying the COP method. Another use has been for liver spots; religiously applying CO has lightened them and also improved my skin.

I've been using castor oil packs as a healing treatment off and on for years since first learning of their efficacy from a 'holistic' doctor here in Phoenix. Once years ago I accidentally slammed a car door on my ankle which caused tremendous swelling and bruising and I simply could not bear any weight on my foot. Elevated the leg and wrapped the ankle in a rag soaked with castor oil and applied heating pad over ankle. Remained that way for most of the night and upon waking, nearly all swelling and bruising was gone and I was able to walk and bear weight on injured ankle again! Amazing.

Several years ago tripped and fell down a flight of concrete stairs landing on both knees. Both knees swelled and were in excruciating pain. Proceeded to lie down with both legs elevated on top of several pillows and applied a well-soaked castor oil pack to each knee. Placed heating pad on top. Next morning - pain, stiffness and swelling was 95% gone and was able to go about my normal activities.

Am currently working on severe tendonitis in right shoulder affecting rotator cup and extending down right arm, using castor oil treatments at night. Will let you know results.

Hello Tori,

If you're interested in getting rid of gal stones, please look into "The Amazing Liver and Galbladder Cleanse" from Andreas Moritz.

This will teach you everything about gal stones, ailments derived form it and how to treat it with olive oil and grapefruit juice. This really works!!

Barbara O'Neill is a great resource of knowledge too. She talks about a caster oil compress (topically) to remove gal stones together with all sorts of other uses too.

Hope this helps and happy cleansing :)

it takes longer than a week... maybe a month or more. keep applying nightly and also use a method of exfoliation like baking soda or apple cider vinegar daily or at least weekly. also stay out of direct sunlight so you don't keep getting more spots. the spots will lighten with each layer of skin that comes off and if you don't create more spots by sun exposure - eventually the skin that replaces the spotted skin will be spot free.

Castor oils use is as a drawing poultice. It has a drawing power of 10 cm deep. Whether in the case of stepping on a rusty nail and fearing tetanus, or abscesses, irritation of tick bites (as well as the head) it will draw out infection from any part of the body the poultice is placed on. Personally, I have been using it in the liver/gallstone area to relieve gallstone pain and it is without comparison for relief of pain (I have heard that the gallstone will slowly disperse.....).

Adversely there are people using it to induce birth by taking it INTERNALLY. This should be DISCOURAGED as it is NOT a part of natural birth as these people are led to believe but a very serious misuse of Castor Oil, which could see it taken off the market as 'dangerous' as other wonderful natural healers have, because of dangerous misuse.

Dear Vianne,

I am so sorry to hear about the fibroids!

To make a castor oil poultice, I used large pieces of clean flannel or while t-shirt. I try to fold it up so that there are 4 layers of cloth. You will want the end result to be about 4x4 or 6x6. Pour a tablespoon or so of hexane free castor oil onto your cloth. You may need a bit more. You want it thoroughly damp but not soaked or dripping. Place over lower abdomen. Cover with plastic wrap. A pair of leggings should help keep it in place. I wear a castor oil pack over night. You can apply a heating pad for the first 30-60 minutes, but don't leave it on overnight.

You can re-use the castor oil pack. Just add a little more oil each night.

In the morning, you can remove any excess oil with a cloth or in the shower. Or you can massage it in. You can also apply a couple of drops of frankincense essential oil to the abdomen in the morning and massage it in. I have found that to help all sorts of different growths.

Please check out the Earth Clinic pages about fibroids. See if any other remedies or stories strike a chord with you.

Keep us posted!

You never said. Did you take it internally? People don't give details and it leaves us guessing...

I just take an occasional swig of olive oil and drink lemonade in the warmer months of the year.

Tori, I think I read right here on EC that it's olive oil, not castor oil. And it's equal parts of olive oil and lemon juice in a shot cup. Start low and slow.

For Gall Stones- I would take 2-3 tbsp of Castor Oil in Grapefruit Juice (just a cup or so), daily. Ice it for easier consumption. But I would also add - Apple Pectin- Daily - at very high doses maybe 3-4x recommended daily - for 6 days and on the 7th day at Epson Salts- tbs or so, also in ice chilled water - while taking an extra dose or 2 of Castor Oil. Chanca Pedra is also know as a powerful herbal to add to the mix. You can repeat this addition once a month - for thorough deep cleansing.

Can someone tell / explain to me that "wax on- wax off" exercise?

Hi Kem -

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experiences with castor oil. I have read numerous articles on the wonderful benefits of castor oil and really want to try it but I'm not sure what type or brand is good. Are all castor oils equal? I know there is the type that is take orally that parents used to give kids for certain ailments. Then there's the topical formula. Do you recommend one over the other?

Hello, could you please tell me the recipe for purging gallstones with caster oil and juice? What are the ratios. If anybody knows please advise. Thanks in advance.

Cajun, please tell me exactly how you used castor oil for your age spots? I applied it for maybe a week, covered with a plaster, day and night and it did absolutely nothing.

Hi Mama,

Could you please explain your method for getting rid of your ovarian cyst as I have been diagnosed with UTERINE FIBROIDS and I'd like to use Castor Oil packs to dissolve them. I hope all is well. Thank you.
