Castor oil is a versatile vegetable oil with a long history of medicinal and cosmetic use. Here are its main scientifically and traditionally supported benefits:

Health & Wellness Uses

• Powerful Natural Laxative
  Castor oil is FDA-approved for temporary relief of constipation. Its ricinoleic acid stimulates intestinal movement but should not be used long-term due to potential side effects like cramping and diarrhea.

• Anti-inflammatory Properties
  Topical castor oil can reduce swelling, redness, sunburns, and pain due to its high ricinoleic acid content. This makes it popular for arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint inflammation.

• Antimicrobial and Antifungal
  Castor oil’s natural properties help combat bacteria and fungi, supporting skin and wound healing, and boosting immune defenses.

Skin & Beauty Benefits

• Moisturizing and Hydrating
  Castor oil’s fatty acids help deeply moisturize and soften skin, lips, nails, and even eyelashes, making it a common ingredient in beauty products.

• Treats Acne and Breakouts
  Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions may help manage and prevent acne when applied topically.

• Promotes Wound Healing
  Research shows that ricinoleic acid in castor oil aids wound healing and reduces inflammation, promoting faster recovery.

• Reduces Signs of Aging and Dark Circles
  Castor oil may help reduce infraorbital pigmentation, dark circles, and improve overall skin texture.

• Heals Chapped Lips
  Often used in lip balms, castor oil is recognized for soothing and repairing dry, cracked lips.
