The plant leaves look like a hand, so it is sometimes called the Palm of Christ. This plant grows widely as a weed and is used all over the world. Edgar Cayce often prescribed castor oil packs for many conditions including cysts, fibroids, congestion, skin conditions, and adhesions. • How Does Castor Oil Work? • No one knows exactly how castor oil packs work. Castor oils is 90% ricinoleic acid, and ricinoleic acid has a special affinity to prostaglandin EP3 receptors, and could be impacting conditions via that inflammatory system. • Contraindications • • Pregnancy • • Heavy bleeding • Side Effects • • A rash may develop from moving the stagnation. Don’t worry. This is a normal part of healing and removing toxins.

Take a break from using the packs until your stools firm again. • • If you eat castor oil you will get diarrhea.
