Symptoms

Pain and tenderness in the lower right area of the abdomen, vomiting. This occurs every so often.

Causes

This is NOT acute appendicitis, but chronic appendicitis. Relatively few individuals have ongoing problems with their appendix, which do not come into the acute phase. But some do.

Chronic appendicitis is an on again, off again type of problem. For such individuals, it might be best to have the appendix removed rather than to suffer with it as the months pass.

Treatments

If used at all, the following applications may be used only for ongoing chronic appendicitis, NOT for the acute phase, when a person experiences a sudden attack!!

The following method requires the placing of heat over the appendix area. This would not be done for acute appendicitis.

• Prepare a castor oil pack in this manner: Place a folded wool flannel in a Pyrex glass or enamel baking pan. Pour castor oil over the cloth until it is saturated. Heat it in the oven to about 225o F., but get it no hotter than you can touch. It will be heated in 5-10 minutes.

• Or, instead of putting in in the oven, put the neutral pack on the appendix area and apply a heating pad over it. Next put a waterproof covering over the pack. Over this, place a hot-water bottle half filled with hot water. Wrap a bath towel around the body, to secure the water bottle and pack. Cover everything with a heavy blanket or sleeping bag, to hold in the warmth.

• Remove it 1-2 hours later. In order to avoid a rash, clean the oil off the skin with a solution of 2

tsps. of baking soda to 1 quart water. Do it gently. Do not try to wash the castor oil out of the pack or any cloth involved; castor oil cannot be washed out. You can use the same pack again later, by adding some more castor oil and reheating. It can be reused for 6 weeks.

• Use the pack for 3-4 nights and then not use it for 3 nights. Then begin again.

• Do not spill the castor oil on anything valuable.
