    Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis).The common name "castor oil", from which the plant gets its name, probably comes from its use as a replacement for castoreum, a perfume base made from the dried perineal glands of the beaver (castor in Latin).
    Castor oil is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor once first ingested. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 961 kg/m3. It is a triglyceride in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleates. Oleate and linoleates are the other significant components.
    Castor oil and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, paints, dyes, coatings, inks, cold resistant plastics, waxes and polishes, nylon, pharmaceuticals and perfumes.

    We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

    Castor oil is amazing! I'm a licensed massage therapist and we use castor oil packs with hot water bottles to help alleviate constipation and detoxify the intestines.

    I use a dab of castor oil any time I get a cut, abrasion, bruise, etc. it goes right to work healing and numbing. In ten minutes the pain has gone and the area heals much faster than usual. I get teased about it. “There is Mom and her castor oil!” But it works so well that it and teatree oil are my go-to home remedies. I feel sorry for people who pooh-pooh my zeal for castor oil. Thanks for adding more ways I can use it.

    Castor oil will also clean out the intestinal tract. "Back in the day". mothers would line up the children and give each child a big spoonful of castor oil to clean out the digestive system. Usually this was dine in the spring. Those were the lucky kids. some got it twice a year. lol So funny hearing the seniors talking about castor oil day(they hated it). I don't know how that worked. a house full of kids and one out house. lol My mother in law used to take a dose following a very bad cold or after a round of antibiotics. It was to clean out the system. It cleaned out all the mucous and junk in the intestines. I have often thought, if people still practiced the castor oil cleansing, if that would prevent things like diverticulitis. Because that oil makes everything very slick for a time. I don't think anything could stick around in the intestines during a castor oil cleansing. Like Drano for your plumbing. lol Loved the tips for the eyes. I am going to try it!

      Well, just know it is rather unpleasant. Take it in the morning and plan on staying home and near the toilet. lol. I learned from my mother in law, that chasing castor oil with some orange juice, helps to get it down and out of your mouth. Castor oil is really thick. makes me gag. lol There will be tummy rumbling and grumbling as it moves through. some even experience some cramping, but I haven't. Some say, eating light the day before helps. Less to move through the pipes. I guess, the reaction is determined on the condition of the digestive tract.

    Stacy and Doug, 3 years ago a woman at a Christian womens' meeting told us that her husband had HAD cataracts in both eyes. They didn't have the money for the dangerous expensive surgeries. So someone told them to use a couple of drops of castor oil in his eyes before bedtime. ( I don't know how long he used it.) But the cataracts went away. The milky film disappeared. He could see clearly. I also remember taking it orally, as a child to "clean out," your body after colds. We were healthier back then. Thank you both, for the wonderful videos. We're ALL in this together. Helping as we go! Shalom.

    The only makeup I've ever worn is mascara (sometimes), and castor oil is what I use to remove it! I think I have noticed that my eyelashes are a little thicker and longer. I also use it for a deep hair condition since I have find hair prone to breaking and splitting. Letting it soak in all night and rinsing it out the next day. It also works well to keep healing wounds clean and prevent the skin/scab from drying out and cracking.

    Castor oil is also Non-comedogenic which means it won’t clog pores, especially on your face. 💌👍🏼 Also preferable to buy it in glass bottles where poss. since it draws out toxins, you don’t want it drawing out any possible chemicals from a plastic bottle. Many make a castor oil plaster or pack, to place over the liver area for a detox. Or as an an anti inflammatory pack over muscle aches, wounds etc.

    Stacy, you didn't mention how to protect your sheets/pillow case from staining with castor oil, if you're using it on your head, or anywhere else, at night. If on the head, I'm thinkin' that a shower cap might be good, or conversely a plastic cover for the pillow. It will soak through most towels.

    I buy my olive, avocado, and coconut cooking oils expeller pressed for the same reason you mentioned for castor oil. It's less processed and has no hexane. I'd purchased some castor oil from the big box and threw it away. Might've been for the best, because it was the cheap stuff. I wasn't sure what to do with it other than clean off my eye makeup. It gave me flashbacks to when I was a kid. My momma used to dose us and I had a HARD time trying to keep that down. But, I'm open to new ideas 🤣🤣🤣. Doug's beard is way thicker and darker than it used to be 👍. So it works. It does grow the eyelashes too.

    Have used it in soap making, but not for skin care as such. Despite what Doug said, it is not protein that helps hair/beard growth because oils are fats, and any protein impurities in them will render them cloudy in appearance. My theory is that the inflammatory properties promote improved skin and increased hair growth. Science has identified that inflammation contributes to many skin and scalp conditions like exema, psoriasis, acne, dandruff, baldness, etc. But, I don't have to understand it to see it working. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks.

      With any natural things that are potent with healing, we tend to think more is better and that’s not the case at all. We have to remember a very small amount is sufficient. So if you’re talking about using it for cleaning the gi tract, you’d only need to use it once a week, like every other month. In other words, don’t even use it every week indefinitely, but use it for a month, then take a month off from using it. I’ve been studying holistics 20 years. Hope this helps.
