Castor Oil

Description

Castor oil is valued for its medicinal qualities. Some claim Queen Cleopatra applied castor oil to her eyes to enhance their whiteness. In past generations, parents fed their children spoonful’s of the unpleasant liquid in the belief that it would relieve constipation and yield other health benefits. Castor oil is made from castor beans and has many potential health benefits.

A Natural Purgative – Relieving constipation is one of the better-known uses of castor oil. A dose of fifty grams of castor oil mixed into warm milk gets the waste moving through the colon and out of the body. The oil is rich in fatty acids and, as such, is not easily absorbed in the intestines and moves through quickly, bringing other waste with it. Too much castor oil can also be harmful, however, so it should be consumed in moderation. Anyone whose constipation does not resolve within a week should see a doctor.

Boosts the Immune System – The immune system defends the body against infection and disease. Weak immune systems elevate the risk of contracting serious illnesses and conditions. Diet, exercise, and genetic factors all play a role in the strength of one’s immune system. Taking castor oil can help improve blood flow, encouraging the creation of the lymphocyte white blood cells that fight bacteria, and enhancing the health of the thymus gland, which produces T cells for the immune system.

Improves Sleep – Insomnia is nothing new, but the stressful and blue screen-heavy lives most of us lead today seem to have increased the prevalence of sleeping troubles. Many people turn to sleep pills, but natural options may be safer, especially over longer periods. The consumption or topical application of castor oil may help with relaxation which can improve sleep.

Fights Fungal Infections – The undecylenic acid in castor oil helps block the development of fungal infections, and some health practitioners believe it can cure yeast infections and athlete’s foot. The oil also gets glowing reports for its ability to fend off ringworm. Nearly one in five people develop this skin condition at least once in their lives, and castor oil could be a way to stop the infection without incurring the potential side effects of prescription antifungals and antibiotics.

Eases Burns – We all know we should wear sunscreen when outdoors during the day, but we often forget. Castor oil could alleviate the effects of painful sunburn. It contains ricinoleic acid that can guard blistered skin against infection. It also reduces the inflammation caused by excess sun exposure.

Cosmetic Effects – Castor oil may improve complexion. As opposed to the ingredients in some store-bought topical treatments, which can dry out skin at the same time as spots, castor oil moisturizes the skin while cleansing it. Some people use it as a general cleaner to remove spots and dead skin. It is possible to be allergic to the oil, however, so anyone trying this method should test a small patch of skin on the inside of the elbow before full-scale application.

Aids in Childbirth – Though premature birth dangers are well-known, complications can develop when pregnancies go well past the due date, as well. Some women claim taking castor oil can stimulate the bowels and start contractions, which could prevent the need for more invasive or painful induction techniques. However, this method should not be undertaken without the knowledge and guidance of an obstetrician.

Eases Migraines – Castor oil could relieve the symptoms of migraines and severe headaches. Consuming a small amount of castor oil can incorporate the oil’s anti-inflammatory benefits. Since migraines can link to gastrointestinal issues, detoxifying the gut with castor oil may help decrease migraine pain and frequency.

Reduce Hair Loss – The search for a cure for hair loss has occupied people for ages. Instead of seeking a solution in chemical-laden store-bought products, one might try castor oil as a cheap and potentially effective natural option. Applying castor oil to the roots of the hair on a regular basis can improve hair and scalp quality, and even encourage hair growth. The oil’s vitamin E and omega-6 and-9 fatty acids, as well as ricinoleic acid, are to thank for this benefit.

Treats Arthritis – Some natural health practitioners claim castor oil could alleviate joint pain caused by arthritis. Once again, the anti-inflammatory properties of the oil supply this benefit, and animal and test-tube studies support the theory that ricinoleic acid can reduce pain and swelling (much as it does for sunburns) caused by rheumatoid arthritis cells. Both massaging the joints with castor oil and drinking a few teaspoons in warm water can have beneficial effects.

 

My Promise to you – Seeing that castor oil is such a powerful oil with the ability to absorb and penetrate very deeply, more than often, the oil is stored in plastic containers. Since the 1st processes and shipping and handling from one supplier to another. We simply don’t know how many different plastics these oils has been exposed to, and what grades of plastics. 

I am going the extra mile by “curing” the oil in amber glass bottles for at least a period of 6 months before supplying any of my clients and patients. This ensures only the highest possible quality and the safest medicinal oil for your desired usage. We are thankful that castor oil has the ability to “self-heal” 😀
