簡易西式熱敷保肝油~~~~Castor Oil Pack

上個月走入咗玩油的空間~~~~手上一大堆從未聽過的油的種類資料~~~~然後每種都有10萬樣好處~~~~~膽大心細的取捨之下, 我入手了一隻Castor Oil.原本買來一心做頭髮髮理~~~~還未試上頭, 在看別人的香薰油心得時看到一個好像很好的潔膚方法, 一心試一試時才發現到關鍵材料就時這Castor Oil!.......好, 知道這castor oil 的另外一種特性後, 前天, 在看另一個area的topic(主要是肝臟保養...)時, 居然再次看到其中一個方法是用castor Oil!!!!

護髮髮膚都很易理解~~~~怎麼能保肝呢?? 實在是太胡鬧了! 我當時真的這麼想! 但由於這說法並不是一兩個人的youtube分享~~~~總之怎麼說這地球上就有一小撮人覺得有用~~~~由於做法簡單, 而且我買了一大支油也怕用不完會變壞, 昨天中午試了一遍

保健的療法, 做一遍當然不會有什麼感覺~~~其實也許是有少少的......anyway, 做過了一遍, 總覺得不查清楚就好像被騙了的一樣在晚上走去research 了一下, 啊, 好像還有些人是找到些科學一點的說法:

Castor Oil Packs are Good for Liver Detoxification and Lymphatic Circulation

This is one of the best home treatments you can do on a regular basis to improve your health. The target of the treatment is to thin the lymphatic fluid and promote its circulation throughout the body with special attention to the liver, spleen, and intestines.
Lymphatic fluid is essentially the “sewer system” of the body. Dead cells, functional immune complexes, and debris from all over the body are absorbed into the lymphatic fluid and brought to the liver and spleen for filtering. When lymphatic fluid becomes slow and stagnant it effects digestion and gut immunity leading to inefficient bowel movements, susceptibility to viruses, and worsening food sensitivities.
Castor Oil when applied topically to the abdomen is absorbed through the skin directly into the lymphatic fluid. Its has a special property that causes it to thin the lymphatic fluid thereby improving circulation to the vital organs and correcting the aforementioned processes.

• Materials Needed: Castor Oil (preferably organic)
• Cotton flannel “pack” (36” x 10”)
• Old towel or t-shirt
• Hot water bottle or heating pad

Procedure

1. Pour approximately 1-2 tablespoons of Castor Oil to your cotton flannel and apply onto the upper right quadrant of your abdomen, just under the ribcage (location of liver).
2. Place your old towel or t-shirt over the flannel to keep any excess oil from touching your sheets. Note: Castor Oil will stain sheets so be careful!
3. Place heat source on top of the towel. Temperature should be high enough for you to feel the warmth on your skin but not get burned.
4. Relax for 30-45 minutes while your skin absorbs the oil.

This is a nice ritual to do before going to sleep while reading or relaxing in bed. You can keep a container next to the bed so that when you are ready to go to sleep it is easy to drop all materials into the container without getting out of bed.
To achieve maximum benefits of this therapy we recommend doing it at least four consecutive nights a week.

From another web, it mentioned:
Castor oil is a unique substance, which folk healers worldwide have used to treat a wide variety of health conditions. Its effectiveness may be due in part, to its unusual chemical composition. Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids (almost 90 percent of its fatty acid content consists of ricinoleic acid) and, to my knowledge, ricinoleic acid is not found in any substance other than castor oil. The high concentration of this unusual, unsaturated fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil's remarkable healing abilities.
Ricinoleic acid is effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds. (J Am Oil Chem Soc 61;37:323-325) This would explain its high degree of success in topical use for such ailments as ringworm, keraloses, skin inflammation, abrasions, fungal-infected finger and toenails, acne, and chronic pruritus (itching). The treatment for these conditions is to wrap the affected area each night in a cloth soaked with castor oil.

好了, 以上大致上已說了這是一個什麼的做法吧~~~~有個說法是:

The most effective use of castor oil is castor oil packs ~~~~which increase topical absorption. When used properly, castor oil packs improve the function of the thymus gland and other immune system functions. Patients who used abdominal castor oil packs had significant increases in the production of lymphocytes compared with patients using placebo packs.
Lymphocytes are the disease-fighting cells of the immune system, which are produced and housed mainly in lymphatic tissue, including the thymus gland, spleen, lymph nodes, and the lymphatic tissue lining the small intestine (called Peyer's patches).
Several problems occur when lymph drainage slows and fluid accumulates around the cells. First, individual cells are forced further away from the capillaries. Second, the amount of oxygen and nourishment the cells receive decreases. Under exertion or stress, some cells may die.
Meanwhile, cells are forced to exist in their own waste and toxic byproducts. This can lead to the degeneration and destruction of organs. For example, poor lymphatic drainage of the heart can lead to heart tissue damage and possible heart failure.
When castor oil is absorbed through the skin, several positive events take place.

• The lymphocyte count of the blood increases.
• Lymph flow improves throughout the body, speeding the removal of cellular-related toxins and reducing swollen lymph nodes.
• As toxicity is reduced and health improves, the pH of the saliva becomes less acidic, and the Peyer's patches in the small intestine become more efficient at fat absorption, which is essential for the formation of hormones and other components necessary for growth and repair.
• There is a general overall improvement in organ function and a lessening of fatigue and depression.

The bottom line is that the removal of cellular waste products is essential for the continued health of the entire body. In the face of any health problem, make an effort to improve the function of the lymphatic system using the topical application of castor oil, oil packs, massage, and the other protocols I discussed earlier in this report.

hm..................上面這說法跟第一個的類似啊! haha~~~~

Additional Benefits of Castor Oil

Nowhere is it more evident that conditions stressing or compromising the immune system will often benefit from castor oil packs than when dealing with AIDS. I've talked with AIDS patients who have added castor oil packs (usually for one hour daily) to their treatment regimen with very positive results. It's not uncommon for them to see increases in white and red blood cell counts, platelet counts, and hematocrit readings within two weeks of starting castor oil packs.
Other lymph system-related conditions that respond to castor oil packs include:

• Chronic fluid retention accompanied by swollen joints and pain
• Appendicitis
• Hyperactivity
• Arthritis
• Bowel impaction or adhesions
• Upper respiratory infections
• Bladder and vaginal infections
• Colon problems
• Parkinson's disease
• Gallbladder disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Menstrual-related congestion
• Migraine headaches
• Liver problems
• Cerebral palsy

Centuries ago, the castor bean plant was referred to as the "Palms Christe" because the shape of the plant's leaves was thought to resemble the palm of Christ. The name may be a very accurate description. You'll be more than satisfied when you experience the amazing results that can be achieved with the simple oil of the castor bean.

Any oil you http://ww.digitalnaturopath.com/treat/T349761.htmlor http://ww.digitalnaturopath.com/treat/T349761.htmlskin needs to be of the highest quality, including castor oil. Check your local health food store for Cold-pressed castor oil.
