Another name for Castor oil is Palma Christi, or palm of Christ. It seems appropriate that a plant with such a name should historically be used in healing, although the readings did not customarily endorse using it in the same manner – as a powerful cathartic – as some may have experienced during childhood.
CASTOR OIL can be used in warm Castor oil Packs, or taken orally, and in enemas as suggested to those following the Gerson Therapy.
