Castor Oil
Castor oil is the oil extracted from the castor bean plant. Castor oil is widely known as a cathartic when used internally. However, little is mentioned about its healing properties when used externally. The use of castor oil is found in medical references dating back to ancient civilization. In the Ebers Papyrus (1550 BC) castor oil was suggested as eye drops for eye irritations. Most of our present information about the therapeutic use of topical applications of castor oil comes from the files of Edgar Cayce. He suggested the use of castor oil for more than fifty different conditions of illness in the human body.( For more information about Cayce Files, contact the ARE in Virginia Beach, VA.).

Castor oil packs have been used successfully for abscess, bursitis, constipation, appendicitis, whiplash, muscle sprains and strains, low back pain, abrasions and lacerations, infected puncture wounds and fibroid tumors. It is extremely successful when used for arthritic conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, local infections, and post surgical care.

While it is not known exactly how castor oil works, research has shown that castor oil has a profound influence upon the lymphatic system and the autonomic nervous system. As castor oil is absorbed through the skin, it moves through the lymphatic channels, stimulating the natural healing ability of the body to break up any congestion present. The pain and swelling from the injury is caused, in part, by the interruption of lymph drainage in the affected area, which results in an accumulation of fluid. The action of castor oil on the lymphatic system is what makes it a valuable tool for treating pain and injuries.

For injury or condition: Spread castor oil on affected area. Cover with wool or cotton flannel or 4 or 5 layers of paper towels. Cover with an old towel (to protect the heating pad) and apply some source of heat (preferably a ThermophoreŽ, which is a professional electric moist heat pack) for about 40 minutes. Abdominal Packs used as an aid in immune deficiency problems can be used as frequently as necessary. Note: Do not use heat if inflammation is present.

Helpful hint: You can get by without a heating source. Just apply before bed, following the previous instructions, and cover with a sock with the end removed or with firm fitting undergarments. The main thing to remember is to try your best to keep the oil from getting on your linens.

Yak Jow (Also known as Yok Chieu or Dit Dot Jow or White Rabbit)
The use of herbs to promote good health has been practiced in China for thousands of years. The basic premise of this school of medicine is that the body heals itself. However, a weak or injured body may not be able to do so. Herbs stimulate the body functions, thereby aiding the body in healing itself.

The Chinese strongly believe in using Yok Chieu herbal liniment to treat injuries which impair local blood circulation, such as sprains, bruises, swelling, and bruised and fractured bones. Although the passage of time alone will help to improve these injuries to a certain degree, damaged tissues and other residual effects will remain and cause trouble at a later time. Immediate herbal treatment will stimulate the movement of blood and hasten the repair of damaged tissue and bone.

Yok Chieu is the common name for a Chinese herbal liniment. Various types are made depending upon the exact combination of herbs used. White Rabbit Products imports the highest quality natural herbs from China to make this product. The herbs are combined to guide and balance each other in accordance with traditional prescription practices. The essence of the herbs is extracted and held in an alcohol base. All the herbs used are edible, but because of the rubbing alcohol base the liniment is for external use only.

To apply: Pour 1 to 2 tsp. into a small dish and thoroughly massage into the affected area for 5 to 10 minutes. Apply twice daily or more frequently if possible.
