Pack is the name given generally to a variety of applications, whether the treatment uses a wet or dry towel, hot or cold cloth, blankets or sheets—wrapping either a limb or the whole body—or makes a simple application to a small area of the body. Often the word pack is used generically or interchangeably with reference to the applied treatments, much as the words automobile or tree would be used to cover various types or species.

Many types of packs are mentioned in the Cayce readings—from Atomidine to Epsom salts to grape to mullein to turpentine—as well as simple hot and cold packs. It should be noted, however, that the terminology in the Cayce readings is not always exact; for example, the universal term pack may be used, as in grape pack, when the proper designation is grape poultice. Yet the descriptive terms as stated in the readings’ excerpts are retained as written, in keeping with quoting the exact wording from the Cayce text.
