Castor oil

Castor oil is a viscous colorless or yellowish liquid with a slight odor and a slightly acidic taste. It is an oil pressed from the seeds of the castor plant and is widely used in medicine, cosmetics, and industry.

​

Castor oil has proven anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and moisturizing properties.

​

It is mostly used to treat skin problems, strengthen hair and eyelashes, and as a natural laxative. Although the oil is safe, precautions must be taken due to the poisonous seeds.

Medical use​

 

Castor oil has been used for medicinal purposes for more than 4,000 years. Castor oil can be used internally and externally. When taken internally, castor oil acts as a laxative. 3–5 hours after taking castor oil, bowel movements intensify. The oil is very effective, which is why it is often used to cleanse the digestive tract in cases of poisoning. Castor oil also promotes labor. It is used externally for skin diseases. Castor oil promotes the healing of wounds and burns. It is also used for cosmetic purposes.

​

P.S. You should be very careful when using it internally, as it can cause stomach cramps and massive diarrhea, which can be accompanied by dehydration.

​​

There were times when castor oil was used for torture purposes - a large dose of castor oil could be used as a humiliating punishment for adults.
