Do you know………. Castor oil is a translucent multipurpose vegetable oil with a yellow tint. It is produced by cold pressing the seeds of the Ricinus communis (Castor seeds) plant, which is native to Africa and Asia. Ninety percent of its fatty acid content is a specific, rare compound called ricinoleic acid and thought to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-bacterial, moisturizing, and some other useful properties.

            Benefits of Castor Oil

Folk healers worldwide have used castor oil to treat a wide variety of health conditions for thousands of years and have been commonly used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Now, still Castor oil is used for a wide range of industrial, cosmetic, and medical purposes and has become a trendy budget beauty buy. It can be used both topically and internally in low doses.

Common uses of Castor Oil:

• Castor seed oil is most widely used in small quantities as a laxative (a purgative). The presence of ricinoleic acid helps in the digestion process by ensuring regular bowel movements and promoting nutrient absorption. It can be a very effective treatment for extreme cases of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), cramping, edema, and leaky gut syndrome.
• Castor oil can be consumed in case of nausea or chronic vomiting.
• It can be used topically on skin and hair, in order to increase the luster, shine, and nourishing scalp from drying.
• It stimulates tissue growth and is often used on wounds to speed healing and prevent infections.
• Castor oil is anti-inflammatory due to its ricinoleic acid that helps with inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and muscle aches.
• Its antifungal properties may help fight off Candida, keeping the mouth healthy.
• Castor oil has strong immune-enhancing effects by supporting the body’s lymphatic system.
