From treating parasitical worms to easing constipation, colds, and fever, castor oil is the to-go concoction we all need these days.It is one of the most popular natural remedies with quite a long history.
Castor Oil may promote healing by boosting Your Lymphatic System.
One of the more compelling health benefits is Castor Oil's support of your immune system. This healing property does not require you ingest the oil, but apply it only externally to the skin.
Eliminates Warts and Skin Tags
Being packed with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, castor oil positively affects warts and skin tags. Apply the oil onto the wart/ skin tag on a daily basis for several weeks until you see them fall off.
Promotes Healthy Scalp and Hair Growth
Scalp infections cause issues like dandruff, itchiness, thinning, and bald patches. The good news is that massaging warm castor oil on the scalp helps remove micro-organisms responsible for the scalp problem, stimulate the follicles, and promote hair growth. Repeat the procedure every night!
Gives Your Hair a Richer Hair
If you start noticing signs of graying, apply castor oil to prevent the hair from turning much grayer. Castor oil has the ability to trap the moisture in the hair, which in turn gives richer and youthful look. Simply warm the oil and coat each strand of hair, running the fingers through the locks.
Its anti-inflammatory properties, castor oil is great for treating inflamed skin caused by dry cracked skin, acne, bites, or sunburns. Simply soak a cotton ball in castor oil, apply to the inflamed area and let it work for an hour before washing it off.
Moisturizes Skin and Relieves Itchiness
The fatty acids found in castor oil are the ideal tool for moisturizing dry skin and relieving skin itchiness. Thanks to its viscous texture, it easily penetrates into the skin. All you have to do is to rub a teaspoon between the palms and apply onto the affected area.
Alleviates Joint Pain
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which has a decongestant effect on the lymphatic system. For those who are not familiar with the function of this system, note that it`s responsible for collecting waste and transporting it to the bloodstream to be flushed out.
In case the lymphatic system isn’t working optimally, like in arthritis patients, joint pain occurs. The good news is that massaging castor oil on the joints helps alleviate the congestion and keep the lymphatic system working properly.
Helps Treat Fungal Infections
Castor oil is well-known for its anti-fungal properties and its ability to treat infections like athlete`s foot, jock itch, or ringworm. Warm the oil, apply on the affected before going to bed, and let it work overnight. Repeat the procedure every day or until the infection goes away.
Treats Your Pets’ Wounds
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, applying a bit of castor oil on your pets` wound helps accelerate the healing.
Treats Hemorrhoids
Soak a cotton ball in castor oil and apply directly onto hemorrhoid. Let it work for about 15 minutes and wear a pad to move around if needed. Castor oil really works wonders when it comes to shrinking hemorrhoids which are outside the body.
Castor Seeds Contain A Deadly Ingredient
Although castor oil is packed with numerous healing properties, it also contains a powerful poison called ricin. Oral, nasal, or intravenous transfusion prevents protein synthesis and destroys your cells. However, there is no need to worry about ricin poisoning, since it is removed from the beans during the manufacturing process. As confirmed by International Journal of Toxicology’s Final Report on Castor Oil, ricin doesn’t “partition” into the castor oil, so it`is safe to use.
People with sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction
While ricinoleic acid helps alleviate constipation, it may also cause gastrointestinal upset and discomfort, nausea, and dizziness
Those suffering from digestive problems like ulcers, colitis, hemorrhoids, cramps, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome should avoid taking castor oil
