A castor oil pack offers relief from Bursitis. Apply the pack for 30-60 minutes and treat for 3-7 days per week

Bursitis occurs when bursa (sacs of fluid that cushion movement between the bones, tendons and muscles at your joints) become painfully inflamed. Usually caused by repetitive movement or prolonged excessive pressure, other causes include acute or chronic infection (notably staphylococcal) or tuberculosis. It can also occur alongside other common joint problems such as arthritis or gout.

The most common area affected is the shoulder but it can also occur at the knees ("Housemaid's Knee" ), the buttocks ("Weaver's Bottom" is caused by sitting on hard surfaces for extended periods), elbows ("Miner's Elbow" - today caused by more modern activities such as vacuuming), hips, heels and even at the base of the big toe.

Removing pressure from and/or immobilizing the affected joint can help significantly and with treatment it can be made to disappear within a couple of weeks.

The chances of it recurring are minimized by strengthening your muscles (strong muscles protect joints) through appropriate exercise once the pain and inflammation is gone; taking more breaks during repetitive activities; and cushioning joints to avoid extended direct contact with hard surfaces.

If the underlying cause is a chronic condition such as arthritis, bursitis may reappear despite any preventative measures that are taken.

In the majority of cases Palma Christi castor oil was recommended by Edgar Cayce to his patients. These included a great variety of external* needs. A mixture of Palma Christi castor oil and baking soda can be applied on moles and warts.



Others have reported to us that using Palma Christi on its own dissolved the warts within a few weeks. We`ve also discovered that people using Palm`Hydra Body Cream (made primarily of Palma Christi) have seen warts dissolve.

We encourage you to share your experiences with other professionals in the Forum section of Palma Pro.

*Note: There were a few cases in which castor oil was recommended by Cayce for internal dosage although in other readings he strongly cautioned against it.

Edgar Cayce endorsed abdominal castor oil packs as a remedy for all types of problems involving lymph flow, such as:

* Inflammation
* Congestion
* Constipation

The function of the castor oil pack is to improve blood flow (works like acupuncture). Applied to the lower abdomen, at least three times per week for sixty minutes each time to improve blood flow. This regimen should be followed for at least three months and then can be tapered to once a week.



Cayce recommended the use of castor oils packs in hundreds of readings to improve the body’s eliminations, lymphatic circulation and assimilation of nutrients. By using castor oil packs, the flow of lymph is increased throughout the body. This helps to speed the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and to reduce the size of swollen lymph nodes. The end result is a pronounced, systemic improvement in organ function with a general lessening of fatigue and depression.

Dr. William McGarey, a medical doctor in Phoenix, Arizona who extensively studied Cayce’s medical recommendations, showed that his own patients using castor oil packs had significant increases in the production of lymphocytes as compared to those using placebo packs. In his book, The Oil That Heals, Dr. McGarey recounts many seemingly miraculous cases where castor oil packs were the key therapy used to help his patients overcome many different types of disorders in a very short period of time.

Note: Packs should not be used if patient is bleeding heavily.

Stressed by city life, tired of pollution, exposed to the increasing risks of a questionable diet… We all need to find our Earth roots.
Clay plays a significant role in this return to nature’s benefits.

Today, reliable research laboratories and researchers have revealed the natural richness of various clays and provided objective explanations for their action.

France is the source for quality green clay, actually a bio-mineral, which is naturally concentrated in various easily assimilated mineral salts. Also found are silica, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese… the list of trace elements is quite impressive!

In France, mines for an excellent raw Illite are worked. Also, so to is a widely used French montmorillonite. These clays are produced in and marketed directly from France. Argiletz is one of the few clay companies that handles clay to perfection. From the mining sites that were selected based upon protection against pollution to completely neutral packaging to (one of the keys of their quality) natural sun drying.

Green clay has cosmetic applications but is also for use in Pelotherapy, hydrotherapy, natural medicine and healing applications. Healing clays have traditionally been used for internal detoxification (digestive system and liver), trauma injuries, skin conditions, organ and elimination system stimulation, and localized immune system stimulation and support.

Green clays such as Illite, Bentonite and Montmorillonite have been used by mankind as a part of natural medicine for tens of thousands of years. Today, the art of healing with the earth is formally known as Pelotherapy.
