Benefits of castor oil
It is a vegetable oil obtained from the Castor bean and it is a very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste. Castor oil has a very radical effect on the stomach and intestines and is not recommended for internal use in large quantities especially for children. It is used as a pack for ailments such as, abdominal complaints, headaches, muscle pains, inflammatory conditions, skin eruptions, lesions, and sinusitis. A pack is made by soaking a piece of flannel in the oil. The flannel is then placed on the area of complaint and then put a hot water bottle on top of it. This remedy was also endorsed and suggested by the American psychic Edgar Cayce, given in many healing readings in the early mid-1900s.
