Castor Oil's Amazing Whole Body Benefits
I prescribe the use of castor oil to almost everyone. As a core Naturopathic therapeutic, Castor Oil Packs are a beneficial and essential part of every healing process. Yet, few have heard of this remedy except for anecdotal memories of grandmothers having them eat a spoonful...something I have done and agree is awful!
Castor oil has fantastic healing properties, and a long history of use. Here are just a few of its effects:

The best daily use of castor oil is in a Castor Oil Pack. Yet, in the Naturopathic realm, this remedy is incorporated often in tissue pain, joint trauma, and arthritis as well.
Speaking from personal experience, when I questioned other Naturopathic doctors about what steps to take to help heal my torn meniscus, across the board came the recommendation to apply castor oil day and night through the healing process because of its effect at increasing blood flow to the injured area
Within all of its health benefits, lie some beauty ones too:
|
1. Castor oil has been shown to help with scarring and acne. Apply a small amount and massage into the skin daily. For Acne, using a small amount of castor oil mixed with rosehip oil and applied as a nightly massage followed by a hot moist towel is a great way to pull toxins out of pores. |
|
2. Castor oil has been shown to increase hair growth and promote the strengthening of hair when applied topically. |
|
3. As a general moisturizer, it helps reduce skin irritation especially razor rash and there are reports of it improving skin tone. |
|
4. Applied to the face as a moisturizer, it has also been associated with diminished wrinkles. |
Castor oil can be found at every drug store, however, due to concerns about growing practices and possible pesticide contamination, it is best to purchase it at a health food store. A little goes a long way, but this simple, powerful remedy is something everyone should have in their medicine cabinet. Just remember, consistency is key, you will not see improvement in symptoms with one or two applications, but daily use has been shown to provide some potent results!
