Castor Oil Pack

The castor oil pack was one of the top Edgar Cayce recommendations for "everyone" to improve health and to maintain good health. It was specifically given as a treatment for some diseases, as well as being one of the most-often recommended techniques to restore a body's vitality.  Most folks have heard of taking castor oil as a cathartic, but Cayce rarely recommended taking castor oil internally. He said it was too harsh on a body.

In the Cayce information, among over thirty purposes given for the pack were:

• Increasing and balancing eliminations, even releasing colon impactions
• Stimulating and restoring health to the liver by removing toxins (residue from medications, pesticides and food additives are processed and sometimes stored in the liver)
• Relieving pain
• Stimulating the gall bladder
• Improving the flow of lymph in the body to strengthen immunity

In the spa, we often pair reflexology with the pack to help the client relax and achieve, to some degree, a meditative state.  

With your castor oil pack application, you will receive instructions for the use and care of the pack at home. Retain the pack for six months of your own continued healthcare use.

Cedar Cabinet Steam/Fume Baths

Recommended to increase eliminations through the skin and lungs. An essential oil or other substance is added to the steam. It vaporizes then settles on the skin to be absorbed through the pores. The steam cabinet has an opening at the top, allowing for cold cloths to be applied at the base of the neck and forehead to prevent headaches. A tepid shower is taken afterward to wash off the impurities that have been brought to the skin surface.

Having a steam before a massage helps relax muscles and aids in absorption of the massage oils. Not recommended for persons with high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems.  

Colon Hydrotherapy

A colonic (as Edgar Cayce so often referred to this procedure) is an internal bath using professional equipment to cleanse the colon. Current scientific evidence shows that a properly functioning colon is beneficial to overall health.

During your colonic, warm filtered water is gently infused into the colon and then released, in a series of fills and flushes that generally continue for 40 to 45 minutes. The equipment is a closed system with disposable tubes and fittings; the out-bound tubing allows you to remain on the treatment table for both infusion and release.

Epsom Salts Bath

An Epsom Salts bath is an effective way to induce perspiration and increase eliminations through the skin, your body's largest organ of elimination.

Remedies & Wellness Techniques

Some of the simple home remedies from the Edgar Cayce Readings were recommended as cures for specific conditions, and were further specified as preventive treatments to be used by anyone. Your therapist will guide you through the preparation and application of your treatment, furnishing you with the practical knowledge to implement any of these remedies for yourself or for your loved ones!

• Potato Eye Poultice: One of several therapies given in the Readings to treat cataracts or infections of the eye or eyelid, and as preventive for the same, the poultice acts to draw impurities from delicate eye tissue and to clarify the membranes around the eyes. The poultice is followed by an herbal alkalizing of the eye area, and the application of the violet ray to the closed eyelid. ½ hour
• GlycoThymoline® Pack: Recommended for healing or prevention of sinus congestion and infection, rolled cotton is saturated with Glycothymoline® (available for home use from Baar Products, link below) and applied directly to the forehead, closed eyes, nose, and cheek. Heat application increases the draining effect on the sinuses. 15 minutes of foot reflexology to the sinus area gives the therapy an energetic boost! ½ hour
• Turpentine Pack for the Kidneys: Regular use of a pack of pure gum spirits of turpentine was advised by Cayce to address bladder and kidney infections and to dissolve kidney stones. To assure absolute purity and to prevent skin irritation, we use rectified pure gum spirits of turpentine, available from many health food stores. This simple remedy was recommended also as an excellent preventive against bladder and kidney disorders, and to retain or improve eyesight! Includes your take-home bottle of this pure turpentine. ½ hour
