The introductory paragraph to this chapter mentions that there are other uses for castor oil. In addition to packs, the readings suggest its use in enemas, for massages, and the traditional remedy of taking it orally as a laxative. Here is one example of castor oil in an enema:

. . . we would first begin with small enemas of as hot Castor Oil as the body can stand. Not that this is to be so warm or hot as to cause such a great discomfort but sufficiently warm that it may be injected with a pumping enema—about two or three tablespoonful{s}. Give these about every other day.

1375-1

For massages there are only a few references to using castor oil as a lubricant, mentioning that it might be a bit messy. Castor oil does stain sheets and clothing, so precautions may need to be taken to avoid staining. Some readings mention specific areas to be massaged; for example, “ . . . along the whole length of the cerebrospinal system . . . ” (1385-1) Other readings suggest only local applications, such as on warts, abrasions, moles, and wens.

In the following two excerpts as an eliminant or a laxative, each one mentions another substance to be taken with the oil:

(Q) Should I take the Castor Oil?

(A) As an eliminant, very good eliminant! Necessary after taking such an eliminant that there be either Syrup of Figs or Castoria taken to tone the system without making a strain from the overacidity produced in the alimentary canal.

Castor oil should be taken as an eliminant, followed by any saline that cleanses same from system—and should be at least three to five days apart in doses taken, see? taking about tablespoonful to tablespoonful and a half at a dose, followed with that of a mild saline the next morning.

The olive oil should be a teaspoonful once each day.

Now the effect of these on the system: We find the castor oil in its reaction is an acid. Hence that of the saline following same to cleanse the system, yet the system needs that of the excitement to the mucus coating of the duodenum, the activity of liver, and the reduction of the forces in the spleen’s reaction with digestive forces, as well as the cleansing of the lower intestinal tract. The olive oil is a food for the intestinal system when taken in small doses. Do that.

From a country doctor quoted by Dr. William McGarey comes this excellent summary statement of the oil’s beneficial healing effects: “Castor oil will leave the body in better condition than it found it.”
