22 Effective Castor Oil Uses & Benefits (For Face, Hair, Skin.....)

For centuries, health care providers and folk healers have been using castor oil because of the many benefits it provides. The oil is considered a vegetable oil and is pale yellow in colour. It’s produced by crushing the seeds of the castor oil plant. Many of castor oil’s benefits are a result of its chemical composition.
If you’re keen to learn of the most common uses and benefits of castor oil, you’re watching the right video! We’ll be covering the 22 biggest uses and benefits of castor oil for health.
1. Natural Arthritis Remedy
Castor oil's anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent massage oil for arthritic joints, sore muscles, and inflammation of your nerves. The acid found in castor oil can boost anti-inflammatory properties within the body, and is considered a safe remedy for arthritis pain.
2. Getting Rid of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks can be caused a number of things, including pregnancy, rapid weight gain, aging, hormonal imbalance, sudden weight loss, and swelling. Castor oil is known as one of the best treatments for a variety of skin conditions. Its rich contents and various fatty acids make it an excellent moisturizer and effective treatment for getting rid of stretch marks.
3. Treating Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, caused by the build-up of impurities in your pores, which results in irritation and inflammation. Many of the acne remedies on the market today tend to dry out the skin. Castor oil is a natural resource that can draw out dirt, dead skin cells, excess oils, and bacteria without drying out your skin.
4. Deep Facial Cleanser
Along with treating acne, you can use castor oil as a deep facial cleanser. Unlike the harsh chemicals in over-the-counter and prescription facial cleansers that dry out your skin, using castor oil as a deep cleanser will get rid of pimples fast, deep-clean your skin of dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, and excess oils while keeping your skin soft, supple, and flawless.
5. Eliminating Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Castor oil is great for reducing fine lines and wrinkles because it penetrates deep into your skin, which stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. Castor oil's emollient properties allow it to be quickly absorbed, keeping your face hydrated and plump, which is also important in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

6. For Hair Growth
Castor oil has become a popular treatment for growing healthier, thicker hair. When regularly used on your roots, it can increase hair growth, reduce damage from products and styling, hydrate hair, make your strands shinier and fuller, prevent dry scalp, and improve the overall health of your hair. When you apply castor oil to the ends of your hair, it can help reduce frizz and repair split ends.
7. Relieving Constipation
The various components in castor oil act as a powerful laxative, stimulating both the small and large intestine and purging the colon walls, allowing stool to move through the colon. The fatty acids in castor oil also work to prevent liquid from being absorbed by the intestinal tract, helping the digestive tract to retain its moisture.
8. Improving Immune Function
Using castor oil regularly is believed to improve various immune system functions, including lymphatic drainage and blood flow. Types of white blood cells found in the immune system, attack perceived threats to the body like bacteria, viruses and toxins. The use of castor oil helps encourage white blood cell production. Apply castor oil packs to your abdominal area to increase your body's absorption of the oil.
9. Treating Ringworm
A relatively common skin condition, ringworm is caused by a fungus and grows into a ring-shaped, red rash. Studies show that nearly 20 percent of us have suffered from ringworm at least once in our lives. While it can be a pain to deal with, castor oil is an excellent treatment for ringworm. The acid found in the castor oil acts as an antifungal agent that kills the infection.

People wishing to use castor oil should look for "cold pressed" castor oil, since it contains more of the desired properties.

When I go into the forest for extended periods of time, I know that I'm not going to be able to shower or even bath properly. In cool/cold weather, I apply a base layer of castor oil to my body before I dress. I helps a lot staying warm, and it minimizes body odor for days. With castor oil and wool clothing, I can go a week before I stink.

[@mariloulapid1330]

I have osteoporosis since 2020. Only this year i tried applying castor oil into my knees, left and right. I stop taking in glucosamine and osteogard. Now i can go down and up the stairs without trouble. Just apply regularly and you will see the result.

[@cheyennestephens9417]

Castor oil has helped my skin so much. After being prescribed numerous prescriptions for my sudden facial eczema, my face became burnt. I could barely open my mouth to eat without my lips cracking. I applied a manuka honey & neem mask and moisturized with a dime size of scent free lotion and a castor oil and now it is literally peeling away the burnt skin after 2 days, and new soft skin is showing. My skin is healed! ( I found out the reaction was due extreme dust in my air filter)

Eczema was on my knee for 20 years, lotion applied twice a day somewhat subdued it. I knew castor oil was thick and stayed on if you got it on your hand. I applied it twice a day for about 6 weeks. Gone and has not returned! My diabetic wife who had a stroke and has pain in her eye tried it in her eye. She has an injection directly in her eye about every month to six weeks. The castor oil gives her a lot of relief!

When I was a child my grandmother gave all her grandchildren CASTOR OIL every Saturday morning, and if you spit out any, you will get a full dose again, then she will give us a piece of orange to help with the after taste, and she will always say it is for our own good. I am 63yrs, and I don't look so. She used to plait the girls hair with it and put it on our skin also. So thanks grandmother for the castor oil, did not like it though.....LOL

I have used caster oil for dry eye 2 ways. Put directly in my eyes with a dropper. Used one to two drops. I have bathered my whole eye area...brow, lids, area around and the corner of eyes and (periorbital area) with caster oil. This relieves my eye ball pain, burning, skin dryness ans skin itching. I have seen doc but get more relief from caster oil.

I got married to my lovely husband for the past 16 years without conceiving and fibroid was the issue. I took different prescribed medication but could not cure it. But my husband was so confident in me and kept encouraging me that one day someone will call me mother , we did not rest searching for solutions from different doctors. All they could say was I should go for surgery and I was afraid of that. Not until a friend in my office introduce me to a traditional doctor who deals on native herbs so I contacted him and told him everything after which he sent me some herbs through DHL courier, which I only drank for about 15 days and the fibroids were melting out gradually..so I later went to my medical doctor to see a result and he confirmed me free from fibroids, I was so happy and right now I am 6 months pregnant. So it's best if you have any infertility issue ok you try reaching him probably on Whats app on this number [phone] email Dr Ovie via [e-mail] he can help you if you seek his help his a nice man.

[@enemanozzle]

The Chinese medicine knows upon the following assignment: skin --> bowels. So, in the case of problems with your skin you should cleanse your bowels, this as a priority and in a regular manner. Due to the fact that in taking enemas or the normal laxatives you will only be able to empty your colon, you should better take your dose castor castor (at least one tablespoon = 1/2 oz) in order to cleanse your bowels completely, this on an empty stomach, so the best early in the morning, not having breakfasted. Additionally you will be able to eliminate all the toxins and heavy metals (mercury!) deposed in your body via the liver.

[@KK-ri2gu]

How long to take castor oil every day for a week or two please

[@enemanozzle]

@@KK-ri2gu Taking castor oil every day will depend of the actual state of mind of everyone.

[@enemanozzle]

@@KK-ri2gu I am not taking castor oil every day. Being a vegetarian consuming a lot of fiber it will happen regularly that I am waking up during the night because of an unpleasant filled large intestine. In this case I shall take 1/2 oz (= 15 ml) castor oil in my mouth and mix this there with the saliva for 15 to 30 minutes before swallowing this. In this manner castor oil will lose its bad taste, it will become runny and will no more irritate the mucosa of the stomach.
