Castor Oil

Castor Oil

Castor Oil is a great oil to use on your skin and hair since it helps treat dermatitis and ringworm. When taken orally it can help with constipation and diarrhea.

Pregnant women should be very careful when taking castor oil orally because it has been shown to induce labor and it can also cause women to start lactating early. On the other hand it may help with a difficult labor when used responsibly and with the guidance of a licensed practitioner.

The oil can also ease muscle and joint pains. You can do this by putting some castor oil on a gauze pad or a castor oil pack, put it on the sore area then wrap it in saran wrap or plastic to hold it there. Add a heating pad to help the skin absorb it faster.
