This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 6th day of January, 1934, in accordance with request made by himself, [487], on family membership in the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [487], L. B. Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [487]; this we have had before.
2. With special reference to the right side or hip, we find there has been an injury to the covering of the pelvis bone - with a straining in the muscular forces of the membranes and muscles that cover, or that are contingent to, those portions of same. It is rather inflammation to the COVERING or skin covering of the bone itself.
3. As we find, to prevent trouble or inflammation arising to such an extent as to cause disorders or troubles later on - or to prevent such inflammation as to disturb the activity of the mucous membranes of the diaphragm itself, or the cover ing, or the diaphragm of the lower intestinal body itself, there should be applied that which will absorb or reduce the tendency for the accumulation of thickened tissue - or what may be properly called a condition where tissue, inflammation and roughness cause adhesions. See?
4. Then, we would massage the side thoroughly with a combination made in the form of a lotion.
5. To 1 ounce of pure olive oil (heated, not to boiling but heated) add, while the olive oil is still warm, and stir into same in THIS manner this quantity, and in the order as given:

   Tincture of Benzoin..................1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Myrrh....................1/4 ounce,
Russian White Oil....................1/2 ounce,
Witchhazel...........................1/4 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras..................2 to 3 minims.

   Use this night and morning to massage over the right side covering, the caecum area, and also over all portions of the pelvis bone, see? over the upper part to the lower portion of the sacral area; the caecum, the pelvis bone, to the lower portion of sacral area, on the right side.
6. Be mindful that the eliminations are kept well in hand; sufficient activity of the intestinal system to allay those things that may be thrown off into the circulation.
7. Do not STRAIN the body, until these conditions are reduced.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Should he refrain from all exercise?
   (A) No. Just don't STRAIN that side, as in scuffling or wrestling or the like.
10. (Q) Any other condition that needs correcting at this time?
    (A) If this lotion is massaged in the same manner across the dorsal area - that is, between the shoulders in the upper dorsal - it will relieve the tendencies for congestion and cold there.
    If he wants to relieve much of the scar tissue on the left limb, [After effects of severe burns on 11/22/26 - see 487-9, 487-10] we would use sweet oil combined with camphorated oil (equal parts). Massage this each day for three to six months and we would reduce the most of this.
11. (Q) Would it be to the better physical condition of this body to remove this scar tissue?
    (A) Any scar tissue detracts from the general physical health of a body, for it requires a changing in the circulation continually. Not that the massage would injure the body, but would make for better physical health generally.
12. That is all the questions regarding this body.
13. We are through with this reading.
