Castor Oil
Uses and Benefits of Castor Oil
Castor oil is a healing oil that helps soothe muscle aches. Rich in antioxidants, the oil prevents wrinkles, relieves chapped lips and deeply moisturises the skin.
Traditionally castor oil was used to treat a variety of skin issues. The use of cold pressed castor oil in folk medicine dates back centuries. The oil is also used as a rub or pack for various ailments including muscle pain.
Therapists use castor oil to treat sore muscles and body aches. A popular use for castor oil involves making a pack by soaking a piece of flannel in castor oil, then putting it on the affected area and placing a heat source, such as a hot water bottle or a heating pad, over it.
Castor oil is also nourishing for hair. It contains many vitamins, proteins and antioxidants that help to keep scalp and hair healthy.
