USE OF OLIVE OIL IN SMALL DOSAGES
Olive oil taken internally in small
doses was recommended by Edgar Cayce in many cases involving problems
with assimilation and elimination. It was also regularly recommended
after certain therapeutic interventions such as castor oil packs and
the three day apple fast. The action of olive oil was described
as:
"The [olive] oil adds to the elasticity of the functioning of the
intestinal tract, acting also as a food value to the system itself."
(4510-1)
"Saffron to which has been added water as a tea, which would be
not only effective to the
digestive forces but with the gastric forces that naturally arise in the
stomach and digestive area - added with the small quantities of the olive
oil - would supply food for the system and cause a tendency for an accumulation
of those forces that will aid in not only ridding the condition from
the blood but will aid the supply of lymph and emunctory circulation through
the digestive system, and bring healing to internal forces of the body."
(475-1)
Dosage
A typical dosage of olive oil is found in reading 745-1:
"Also we would take internally very small quantities or doses of
Olive Oil, taken often, for period of three or four days; then leave off
for three or four days, then begin again. A quarter to half a teaspoonful
every three or four hours during the waking period."
