Castor Oil is an old remedy for a variety of alternative self care uses. It has been used for:
Caster Oil is a thick sticky oil that comes from the Ricinus communis plant. When applied topical it is absorbed into the skin. Castor Oil has the deepest absorption depth into the soft tissue making it a popular skin care remedy.
It contains ricinoleic acid which supports its laxative influences. This element stimulates the soft contractions to push out bowel movements.
In the article on combining Caster Oil with Baking Soda I mentioned how it softens the soft tissue around joints and bones to increase the range of motion through micro-movements. This inspired my interest I was motivated further when it began to dissolve skin tags when used as a skin oil for reverse aging effects. The exploration continues however it is reducing fine lines and plumping out larger and deeper ones. .

I was introduced to Caster Oil the day I gave birth to my youngest child. It was a midwife’s strategy to induce labour. It worked. I don’t recommend it based on my experience.
However, Caster Oil is in my wellness pantry and a staple with so many uses. Recently I began to use Caster Oil and Baking Soda together as a skin exfoliant on my hands, lower arms, neck and face. During the time I combined these two ingredients and rubbed them into my skin, I noticed that they had more benefits than exfoliation. It supported reducing inflammation in the soft tissue. As a Feldenkrais Practitioner, I use my hands daily and this is an important tool to reduce any inflammation in my hands to increase the felt sense when using empathy touch with students.
Each of these ingredients alone has wellness benefits however in combination they enhance the healing properties of both of them.
Castor Oil – has a wide range of nature benefits
