Why you should take Castor Oil every day
Yes, your grandmother was right, castor oil is good for you, and in fact it’s very good for you. Its a bit of a blast from the past and isnt as fashionable as a retro phones, but it should be part of our modern lives. Its taste isnt nice, but you can try and mask the flavour with lemon. I do remember being a kid and refusing to open my mouth to take it.
But what is Castor Oil exactly? The Castor Plant of India supplies the beans, and the oil is crushed from the beans and gathered to create the oil?
Castor Oil, is made up of three different fatty oils alpha-linolenic acid, oleic acid amd and palmitic acid. Having all of these fatty acids present means that Castor Oil contains twice as much energy as carbohydrates and proteins making Castor oil play an important role in human metabolism.
Early folk remedies used it to treat anything from skin problems to muscle pains and headaches.
Many doctors still advise on what is called a castor oil pack, which is made by soaking a piece of flannel in castor oil, then putting it on the area of complaint and placing a heat source, such as hot water bottles, on top of that. From Constipation to Liver and kidney disorders, A Castor Oil pack is said to benefit them all. Working in the same way as acupunture is helps improve blood flow in the skin.
The most impressive thing about the oil is its ability to strengthen the immune system, its does this by increasing the number of lymphocytes in the body, this happens when it is absorbed directly through the skin.
A holistic treatment, a Castor oil pack would be applied to the stomach around 3 times a week, and could have improved blood flow, because Castor Oil’s molecular weight is so low that it is easily absorbed deep into the skin.
Here is how to make a Castor oil pack:
* Three layers of undyed wool or cotton flannel large enough to cover the affected area
* Castor oil
* Plastic wrap cut 1-2″ larger than the flannel (can be cut from a plastic bag)
* Classic Hot water bottle
* Container with lid
* Old clothes and sheets. Castor oil will stain clothing and bedding.
So thats it, Castor oil is a hero after all. And if your a wuss, you could always add lemon to make it taste better.
