I have seen castor oil packs placed around an injured ankle relieve pain that had persisted for days after the repair of a laceration. Thus it was not with a great deal of surprise that I read the results of therapy applied by one A.R.E. member to her child. Isaac (Mrs. Bell’s tree-climbing-aged son) fell fifteen feet from a tree he had almost conquered and struck the ground with his hip. His family doctor recommended hot tub soaks; and his mother supplemented the treatment with one of the Cayce remedies for muscular sprains. However, repeated efforts in this direction brought only swollen tissues. The following afternoon, and again that night, a castor oil pack was applied with a heating pad; the next morning Isaac was up and ready for Monday morning school. There was no swelling and very little tenderness. After school the tenderness was gone, and Isaac had forgotten that he had failed in his effort to fly.
