Castor Oil Cures Swollen Lymph Nodes
As part of the cure procedure for Mr. M I stumbled onto Castor Oil Cures for swollen lymph nodes. This was posted innocently at a forum at http://www.ehealthforum.com/health/topic51314.html and it is a good testimonial for using castor oil to cure swollen lymph nodes.
Maybe this will work for Mr. M.

I have a slightly swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck.
I’ve done a little research on this, and recently found out about castor oil, and it use in reducing the size of enlarged lymph nodes.
I was wondering if anyone here knows if one can just rub castor oil into the skin to help with this?
The lymph node initially swelled up one night. I wasn’t ill, at least I didn’t feel ill. It was also quite painful to the touch. Then the pain eventually subsided, and the node reduce in size a little, but never reduced completely.
So I figure, based on my research, that there is still a build up of toxins blocking things up, and so lymphatic flow has been slowed down.
Castor oil is supposed to increase the flow of lymph throughout the body, speeding up the removal of toxins, thereby reducing the size of swollen lymph nodes.
I just want to know if I can apply it topically by simply rubbing it into the skin where the lymph node is, without using hot packs.
Thanks for any feedback.

I went ahead and tried the castor oil on the swollen lymph node, since it appears no one has an answer for my above question.
I’ve applied castor oil three times (so far) to the node, and speaking objectively, I have to say it’s working. I was skeptical before the first application, but it really seems to be working.
The node is the smallest it’s been in years (the node has been swollen for around ten years, but the pain disappeared a long time ago).
It doesn’t feel as rock hard as it ‘normally’ feels. There’s some ‘give’ when I press lightly on it.
I will definitely keep using the oil, and (hopefully), it will completely disappear from sight. Obviously, my lymphatic system has been congested there, and the castor oil has cleared something out of the way, so that particular node isn’t being overworked anymore.
Therefore, it doesn’t have a backlog of work to catch up on, and is able to return to its normal size. For what it’s worth, i’ll keep this forum posted on any further progress.
Oh, and btw, if anyone is suffering from swollen lymph nodes, be sure to get it checked first by a doctor, as in using castor oil to reduce its size, you might end up masking something in serious need of attention.
I got mine looked at first…

Just an update on my progress with castor oil. I have no doubt now that the node is reducing in size, and it can only be castor oil, since that is the only thing I apply to it.
The chances of the node just happening to reduce in size (after 10 years mind you) –at the same exact time that I start using something that is promoted as being able to help– it’s very unlikely, don’t you think?
I think so. The node is so small now, that when i’m applying castor oil to it, sometimes I forget where it is, because I can hardly feel it.
Now, if I had enquired about how to deal with it (reduce its size) when I saw the doctor, he might have suggested that I go under the knife, and have it removed.
What’s also surprising is that my castor oil doesn’t specify that it is cold-pressed, so I assume it isn’t.
All (well, most) of the places (i’ve researched online) state that the cold-pressed version is the one that is effective. Then again, most of them were selling something (namely, cold-pressed castor oil).
I’ve searched high and low for cold-pressed castor oil locally, but couldn’t find it. Perhaps it’s a way of attracting more customers, knowing that the cold-pressed version is extremely difficult to find.
So people will (hopefully) decide to buy their oil, reasoning that if they buy non cold-pressed, from their local chemist, it won’t work.
Perhaps i’m just being my usual paranoid self. Or perhaps mine is cold-pressed after all.
Whatever the case, i’m glad it’s working, and that my research looks to be paying off. I just love the internet. 🙂

Yeah, i’m really happy about it. I had my doubts (as I said) that something so cheap, and readily available, could work so powerfully on one’s body, but I continue to be amazed.
It didn’t even take castor oil a week to reduce the node to near its original size.
I was thinking of researching the various points on the body where nodes can be found, and then continuing to use castor oil in this way, perhaps once or twice a week, on those areas, just to make sure my lymphatic system is flowing smoothly.
Works great around the eyes too, to keep the delicate skin there looking good. I wouldn’t use it during the day though (around the eyes), because of its purgative powers.
I find that it tends to draw ‘stuff’ out of the eyes. Useful in the case of an eye infection, but not too pretty. 🙂
