Edgar Cayce Readings, 140-26

(Ck. Physical Suggestion)

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the general physical condition of the body is very good in most respects. The condition as we find existent at the present time with ear and head is rather that of nerve retraction, from conditions which exist in various portions of the body. While there is some nerve reaction, we do not find this would be a hindrance, UNLESS there were OTHER developments. Would the body apply that of of the warm oil as given (St. Jacob's oil), or better that of laudanum in a weak solution, this - WE find - would relieve that tension, which is at present only nerve retraction, and we do not find that it would be detrimental for the body to voyage to-day, were these precautions taken and the condition adhered to.
(Q) What proportion should the laudanum, if used, be used for the body?
(A) Very small, weakened about half the quantity, see?
(Q) Should the laudanum be mixed with oil or water?
(A) Better with oil - sweet oil. This is more a case of earache from nerve retraction, see?
(Q) What quantity should be used at a time in the ear?
(A) Very small - just sufficient to fill the cavity in a way that would not be CRAMMED in, but to ease the condition. Of course, cold or congestion arising - or overtaxation or nerve fatigue, would weaken conditions for the body. These precautions, of course, necessarily should be looked after. We are through for the present.
