A member asked:
I have liver mets from primary ocular melanoma. i slept with a castor oil pack 2 days ago. my abdomen & lower right are painful. will this subside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is outside ?: Castor oil packs most likely do not do anything. I am thinking of the external application of the oil in cloth on skin. If there is heat, there could conceivably be a burn from the heat but any damage from it would be visible. ON THE OTHER HAND. Cancer everywhere can do bad and painful things. Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health,
