Castor oil is fatty oil obtained from castor seeds. This is a transparent, thick, viscous, colorless or slightly yellowish liquid having a faint odor and a peculiar, unpleasant taste. Castor oil is the basis for ointments and creams and is a classic laxative for children and adults.
Various methods of application of castor oil are as follows:
· As a purgative, 5 to 10 gm for children and 15 to 3o gm for adults can be administered.
· For removing warts, rub castor oil for about 20 minutes at night and in the morning. While doing so, the oil should be well absorbed.
· Castor oil has been used to treat ulcers in the body.
· If irritation and redness of the eyes persists, put one drop of castor oil in each eye.
· If you have children with thin hair, rub the scalp at night thoroughly with castor oil and wash the head in the morning. This procedure can be done twice a week, until some noticeable improvement is seen. Keep using this method once a fortnight or once a month as per requirement.
· If lubricated with castor oil for three times a week, eyelashes grow faster and become longer (the same for strengthening the growth of the eyebrows).
· For colds and bronchitis, rub a mixture of one teaspoon of turpentine and two teaspoons of castor oil. First, heat the oil, and then add the turpentine. The mixture should be gently rubbed on the chest.
· For external hemorrhoids castor oil helps by softening the mucous membranes.
· For tired legs, you can rub them with castor oil before bedtime twice a week or more than that as per your requirement and wear cotton socks. In the morning, the skin becomes soft, velvety, and the usual fatigue and pain will disappear.
Likewise, castor oil can be used to soften hard skin.
