Health Benefits of Castor Oil
1. Boosts Immunity
2. Increases Blood Circulation
3. Skin Care
4. Treats Fungal Infections
5. Eases Constipation: Castor seed oil is most widely used as a laxative (better to call it a
purgative). The presence of ricinoleic acid helps in the digestion process by ensuring regular
bowel movements and also promotes nutrient absorption. It is thus a very effective treatment
for extreme cases of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), cramping, oedema, and
leaky gut syndrome. It also helps in balancing the gut bacteria.
6. Hair Care
7. Treats Back Pain
Note: Castor oil can be consumed in small quantities as a laxative and to coat your stomach
in case of nausea or chronic vomiting.
It can be used topically on skin and hair, in order to increase the luster and shine.
It is often used on wounds to speed healing and prevent infections

chemicals in castor oil make it dangerous.
