CAYCE QUOTE ON FORMULA 3363-1

Also begin at the same time to massage the body thoroughly each evening when ready to retire, after the bath, is taken (and take it daily, just as hot as the body can take it). Even though it is painful, massage the body thoroughly during the bath, whether a sponge bath, a tub bath or a shower. Massage the body thoroughly with a good soap as Ivory or the like, that we may clear the pores of the skin with this massage. Do this each evening for five days.
Following such a bath and massage, give the body a thorough rub with this combination of oils, adding these in the order named:

    Usoline or Nujol (As the base)......4 ounces,
    Olive Oil...........................2 ounces,
    Peanut Oil..........................2 ounces,
    Oil of Pine Needles...............1/2 ounce,
    Oil of Sassafras Root.............1/2 ounce,
    Lanolin (liquefied).................1 ounce.

    These will tend to separate, but shake together and massage in the body thoroughly - the limbs, the torso, the back. Do this daily for five days.
    Then leave off these for five days, then commence all over again and continue five more days.
    Then leave off five days.
