It's so frustrating, especially as an undergrad trying to prove the effectiveness of these methods, but they will only accept research from peer reviewed articles
Note: there will NEVER be a study on a natural remedy, herbs, vitamins etc. never. It’s in no one’s interest. Listen to the experience of others, have conversations and test it yourself! ❤
There are and you can find a good deal done by people who really care about what they're doing! My family is starting to find and purchase books of studies done on herbs, but all of the authors are total hippies. I said, if my herb specialist isn't wearing a tie dye bandana kissing a plant I don't trust him! Some of it's in conventional medicine but a lot of it is more alternative but nevertheless legitimate.
@@lh1053it’s different in other areas of the world - in certain European countries doctors prescribe herbs and natural remedies all the time. All doctors are medically insured. Insurance is compulsory.
Hi Dr Dray! I had a ganglion cyst in my wrist for about 2 months and it kept getting bigger every week. I put Castor Oil on it and wrapped it at night with a piece of gauze soaked in castor Oil on the cyst using a compression sock. The ganglion cyst literally disappeared in 2 days. So wonderful.
I had a growth on my lower eyelid that's been growing for a couple of years. I started treating it with organic hexane free castor oil last spring. The growth shriveled and fell of last week. Good stuff.
You can also get rid of a ganglion cyst by hitting it sharply with the edge of a book or some such. I know it sounds crazy, but my doctor told me to try it and it worked. lol
I’m of Danish decent, blonde fair haired lady age 57. I started 3 months ago using castor oil 2-3x’s/week on my hair. I have much less hair fall & my hair is starting to feel fuller & is shinier. I’ve also have been applying it to a fatty benign tumor above my knee. It was an inch & a half long & quarter inch wide. Castor oil packs night & day has reduced it to a third of the size at this point & has softened & dissolving the tumor so much! Maybe scientists who aren’t swayed by money should research castor oil. Then pray big pharma doesn’t try to get greedy & make castor oil expensive somehow. There are quite a lot of positive testimonies out there. I highly recommend using castor oil.
@@merislopez722 Yes I leave it in all night and or all day. If I leave it in all night I wrap my head with a cover of some sort. If I leave it in all day, I wear a ball cap. Then just shampoo & condition like normal.
I do care about paid studies but things that's easily available r not studied coz they don't make much money for companies. So will have to go by word of mouth.
Studies are payed for and most (if not all) are not independent, even universities depend on funding to conduct studies, so the credibility of most studies is questionable...
I'm 40 and work 3rd shift. Castor oil is the only thing that has healed my eyelid eczema. My eyelids are no longer red, burning, and itchy. It has also helped get rid of my dandruff and soothed my itchy scalp. I've tried many face and hair products before castor oil, and castor oil has been a miracle product for me. Best 10$ I've ever spent.
Sky organics castor oil has a twist top. I squeeze it onto my scalp and comb through my hair, and sleep with a silk bonnet on. I wash it out when I wake up.
Same here. Resolved the eczema at the base of my scalp. I use it only once a week. I mix in an applicator 1 part olive oil and 3 parts castor oil. I apply to dry hair from my scalp to the ends of my hair. Then wear a shower cap, wrap a towel around my head and watch a movie or whatever for about 1/2 hr to hour. I then rinse, gently wash, rinse again and wash one more time. My hair is shiny and silky looking and has never looked better (I have highlighted hair that was over processed). I tried coconut oil as a carrier oil with it but I have sensitive skin and the coconut oil can be an irritant and it definitely was irritating to my scalp. Olive oil as a carrier oil works much better. Fast forward a month of using castor oil for my hair, and I can tell you with 100% certainly that it really does help with hair growth. I have fine baby hairs along my hairline that I haven’t had in years!!! I’m going to try it on my eyebrows now too. I’m in my 50’s now and what the heck is up with eyebrows getting sparse as you age???
almost two decades ago I started adding a small amount of castor oil (about a quarter size into my shampoo). You would think adding it into shampoo wouldn't really do anything and that you would be washing it out immediately but I read some anecdotal evidence supporting it for hair growith so I decided to try it. I remember after using it in my shampoo for about two months and then going to my hairdresser for a trim. She was astounded at my hair health and said I had baby hairs growing in everywhere. The castor oil was the only thing I could think of that I have done differently.
I'm 69 years old and have been using castor oil for about 3 months now. I use it on my face nightly mixed with some moisturizer. My crows feet are gone and my lip lines have almost disappeared. My eyebrows and lashes are fuller as well. I've had a bald spot on the back of my head for nearly 10 years, with weekly use of castor oil and rosemary oil, my hair has started to regrow.
Your are spot on with your info. I started using castor oil on my face by adding a few drops to my moisturizer and wow, what a game changer! My skin stays Dewey and hydrated all day and I'm 57 years old!
That's great 😊🙏 we're around the same age. Bit confused 🤔, this Doctor pretty much against it. Do you just use it pure? Or do you mix it with another carrier oil? I hope you can reply to me🙏. I'm happy for you, either way🌺
I’ve heard that castor oil on the face causes hair growth. Is that true?? I’d love to use it on my face by I don’t need hair on my face. Does anyone know?
My 4th child was over a week past his due date. My midwives suggested an ounce of castor oil. Took it at 9 am, figured it didn't do anything. At 6 pm contractions started. At 7 pm, my son literally fell out of me in my living room. The stuff works miracles.
I’ve recommended to my friend that had cancer for hair growth! After 3 months of using it. She had a full head of hair , eyelashes. She looked amazing.
I'm in my 70s and have used for years. Eyebrows &lashes for growth &conditioning, on my scalp overnight for dry itchy skin, on my face for dryness and over time it reduced dark circles under eyes. I love this oil.
It's firmer and smoother. I was recently at a wedding and a friend asked how my skin keeps looking younger and "we're all getting older." Castor oil is the only change!
I recently injured the back of my hand on a door ( I’m 71, so you can imagine how thin the skin is!). I applied castor oil a few times a day and the ugly bruising disappeared and my hand healed very quickly.
I get a visceral massage every month, it’s deep and can be painful. I always use castor oil when I get home so I don’t develop bruises, works every time.
Back in the 60s, my mother used castor oil for any warts us kids would get. She would put the castor oil on the wart, cover with a bandaid, and then change it out every day. The wart would be gone in no time.
@@sheilafisher7255I tried it before , alone and cold compressed but little amount and , twice a week at night and apply sun screen in the morning it was excellent but then I did not continue because I was busy
I had a mole hat was driving me crazy on my neck. Went to the dermatologist and she said it would leave a scar if she took it off. I almost went to a plastic surgeon to get it removed, then decided to use castor oil, and baking soda on it. Within about 4 weeks the whole thing was gone. No terrible scar. I took before, and after photos too. Shocking !
There's a video of a guy who used to do manual labor and always get warts in his hands so he always used this remedy - 1:1 baking soda and castor oil mix. He scraped or used a pin to penetrate the wart just so the castor oil baking soda mix would penetrate and put a band aid on it. He would reapply the oil and change the bandage every 12hrs for a month. And the wart should disappear by then always in his case
@@vickijd22just mix them together to form a thick paste and apply to the wart or mole or skin tag, keep covered and change it everyday if not twice a day.... Must keep covered so the mixture stays intact on the area...👍🏻 Refer to Chris Gibson here on YT... He has a good video all about wart and mole removal with castor oil... Hes a skin care expert...👍🏻
Castor Oil has been a game changer for me and my family! We won’t live without it. When I asked my Dr what he thought about Castor Oil he said, “Son, are you suicidal? Why on Earth would you ingest oil?” He then asked me if I needed an antidepressant. THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT CONSULT YOUR DR regarding homeopathic treatments! EVER!
Hi! What an odd dr! What kind of Castor Seed Oil do you use. I’m new to this, but understand there is cold pressed and something else. I plan to try it! Thanks!❤❤
It's all about greed. Doctor's don't give advice on something that is not prescribed because the pharmacutical companies don't pay drs. Unless they're pushing they're drugs
I use the C oil you have displayed. I have had a keratosis? for years and years on my upper lip that gets crusty and thick but never tests for cancer but was blasted with liquid nitrogen but kept growing back in 6 months. Recently I started putting C oil on it and its pretty much gone. I'm impressed.
I have been doing the same thing for keratosis on my chest and it's going away after 2 months. The cream the Dr gives you irritated that area for 2 weeks very painful.
61 year old female. A year ago I had my first eczema flare in my life. I had orbital eye eczema, possibly started from lots of eye drops due to my dry eye. I had a little behind my ears too. The dermatologist gave me a thick ointment that cleared it pup. Two weeks ago it started again, this time like a shawl covering my entire neck and on my chest! My neck was red and on fire! I had ordered a bottle of pure cold pressed organic castor oil so I used it. I pinned my hair up high on my head, I poured some in my hands to warm it up and used it on my neck, face, and eyes and slept on my back. The next morning, my neck was barely pink and no longer itchy! I used it for 3 days and I have no sign of eczema at all!
@@Lita_213The way the commenter describes it -- covering her entire neck -- it could not have been shingles. Shingles can only appear on one side of the body at a time. So if it had appeared on only one side of the neck and chest then there is a possibility of shingles, otherwise no. 🙂
It has helped a lot on my eczema too, little areas of my chin, jaw & my hands. As little as 3 days it has cleared up the itchy redness! My skin on my face is smooth & great with mixing castor oil w/my face moisturizer. Hands is a lot better but not completely gone. Will keep using until it clears. Great natural remedy, was skeptical. Going to rub some in my knee & shoulders & see if it helps with joint pains. 💁❤️
We need more natural solutions. Putting chemicals on my skin is something that I want to get away from. Would love for you to do a series on natural solutions...you've been so good with doing inexpensive solutions. Thank you!
Amen! I left nursing and started a natural based skincare business a while back and I have found SO many wonderful things for our skin found in nature!❤
I use castor oil in a roll-on bottle, making it so much easier to apply. It is also anti-viral, and I was able to reduce and completely remove a papilloma virus right next to my eye that otherwise would have had to be surgically removed. This was much safer and less painful. It has never returned.
@@dilettanterIt absolutely melts away skin tags, rashes or other skin conditions. I’m melting away a plantar wart on my kid’s foot. Instantly going away by softening it after a couple days, and hopefully it’ll fall off in a couple weeks. Chris Gibson’s remedy of 1:1 mix of baking soda and castor oil has been a godsend. Just use a band aid to cover it and change every AM and PM. My eyes have also benefited by eliminating the dry lines. I’m not middle aged yet but I am trying to prevent wrinkles. I slather it on my eye brows, lids, under eyes and temples. Goodness, it is so relaxing to sleep in. It’s extra thick but sinks in and I sleep on my back very well. It has made a huge difference in my eyesight. I no longer have sensitive eyes. Every morning I’m seeing clearer. Hoping it help with future degeneration of my eyes or help eliminate my nearsightedness also! This 100% pure hexane free castor oil from Kate Blanc cosmetics on Amazon is so cheap. Always get it in a glass amber bottle as castor oil is a strong carrier oil that’ll absorb plastic. It’s been a tremendous remedy for your gut, liver and aches and pains. Seriously, it’s a multi-use age old product used all over the world. The pharmaceutical companies haven’t endorsed it due to the massive healing properties for just $10-$15 a bottle.
I have started using castor oil for my fibromyalgia pain. I massage it into the very sore muscles in my legs. The pain is relieved almost immediately and the effect is long lasting. As you said in your video, castor oil can be a bit messy, but the pain relief is worth the mess.
Thank you so much! I will suggest this to my grandmother who has fibromyalgia for years now. She also has been using "Frankincense Oil" which has tremendously helped with her pain and aching joints as well!
@@lateiro6845 A chiropractor recommended using warm castor oil treatments for pain. Pour fair amount of oil onto a piece of flannel, place on area of discomfort, cover with plastic wrap and a hot water bottle or heating pad. Worked wonders on my back pain. Can save and reuse the cloth a few times before washing.
Along with my eyelid & facial treatment with this Oil,… I also massage it on the back of my arthritic neck & hand joints, and was also amazed at the pain relief benefit 🤓
An anecdote…I am 60 I have been using a castor oil pack on my neck (thyroid ) for approximately 2 months. I see a noticeable difference in the skin on my neck. The crepiness (sp) is gone. Additionally, I rolled my ankle on Sunday, extremely painful and kept me awake. I rubbed castor oil on my foot and within an hour the pain had diminished and I was able to sleep.
Did you use it on your neck specifically for your thyroid? lm interested to know if it helped you at all . Please elaborate how you put it on your neck. Thank you in advance.
@@angelakosmas3218 Hello Angela...I am not sure it has impacted by thyroid as I have not had bloodwork done recently. I use a pack, ordered from Queen of the Thrones. I rub a nickel size amount over my neck (thyroid area), it is quite viscous, so whatever is left I rub into my décolletage, face, lips and eyes. I likely won't be getting thyroid labs done again until the summer. I will try to keep you updated.
I've been doing castor oil packs for years for liver detox but I also use it on my skin. I'm 55 and it's helped heal a scar on my chest from skin cancer, when nothing else worked. I use it on my face, under my eyes where I have circles and on my eye lids for dry eye. It's helped immensely with all the above. I'm going to start using in on my bone spurs on my feet now. My MIL was a naturopath and used castor oil for SO many things. There aren't tons of studies because castor oil is not a money maker in the medical world. The use of it goes back thousands of years. There is so much to be learned from history with natural remedies, this is a very big one. It just happens to be amazing for your skin, the biggest organ on the human body.
This is amazing! Happy for you. I have a scar from 5 months ago. Id love to see if castor oil will help. How long did you have to apply it for to see a difference ?🙏🏼 Thanks!
I had bunion surgery 21/2 years ago, have a terrible scar and it still hurts. I’ve been using castor oil for a few days massaging it in. It’s been helping slowly. Keep you posted
It has changed my life I am 51 started using it on my face. Within a month my age spots lightened, a skin tag I had for years gone!!! My hair was falling out, now has become fuller, and stopped falling out. I also had liver recection it has diminished the scars, also helped healing within. I also used it for constipation immediately worked!!!! I can not tell you how amazing this is try it you won’t be disappointed
I used it in my hair last night, left it for about 15 min, washed it out with shampoo. I will say my hair is NOTORIOUS for being staticky. There's zero static today. I'm impressed with that alone.
@@pamvancleave6722 I used castor oil. I put it on my scalp, rub it in, finger comb through, and let it sit for about 15 min. I then washed it out with one pump of shampoo. Now I added some sprays of It’s a 10 leave-in conditioner for the ends of my hair. Comb through with a Wet Brush/comb and let it air dry overnight. It leaves my hair super soft the next day….even the next couple days
My father grew up in a Middle Eastern household where castor oil was a staple. Besides the multitude of topical uses, the entire family had to take it internally once a month for colon cleansing. It was a routine.
I grew up on a subtropical island. 50s-70s. When we were young we took a spoonful every month for parasites. Nasty. I use it now on my skin and hair. And it's wonderful
Castor oil is amazing for eyelids. After 50 I noticed my eyelids were getting more saggy, dry and wrinkled and not even the best eye serums helped to make them look better. I now apply it over the eye serum and the skin has improved incredibly!! I did it every night for a few nights, but now I´m fine with only applying it a few times a week. To me it IS magical!
I’ve just bought a bottle of organic cold pressed cater oil. That’s amazing it’s done that for you. It says on the bottle avoid eyes but. I’m only hearing good things
Using Castor oil for eyes, cataract/floaters & co, vision and dry eyes almost healed after 1 month daily use 3x a day, castor oil on fingers on the eyelids, inclusive lasches,in the corner of the eyes, so that some of it gets in the eye. The castor oil eye drops I use are from UK/Amazon. One drop per eye was too much so I invented my own method as described above. I also spread it on my brows. It works great!
I’ve been using this on my neck and face and I have to say it really gives a smooth feeling on my skin but I still have age spots and wrinkles but I’ve only been using it a couple times a week for about a month so stay tuned
I used it for kidney stones every night for 3 weeks as a pack with heating pad for first hour. Had been dealing with pain off and on for over a year. It’s been almost 2 months… pain is gone. I have a history of kidney stones in the past. I swear by this stuff ❤
I passed over 25 kidney stones. They were all made of calcium like most kidney stones. The only thing that stopped them was magnesium citrate every night, I stopped taking Ibuprofen and of course drink lots of water helps. But the magnesium was key. I used to have 3-4 stones in each kidney. After magnesium I went t for an ultrasound and the stones were gone. I have not pass a stone in 3 years
Consider we'll likely never have any real studies about the effects of things like castor oil, because there is no money in it for anyone. e.g. it's cheap, it's not regulated, and it's very rare that anyone will pay for a study on a product that won't make money for anyone, unfortunately.
It does grow hair. That’s what we’ve being using in Haiti for decades to reduce hair breakage and improve alopecia. It works people and it’s very cheap in my country.
Sandra which castor oil did you purchase. I am learning today about the dark glass bottle. Unfortunately my shipment arrived yesterday and it is the plastic bottle. Is it any good? Please help.
@MommyDonna927 Many caster oils are now in plastic bottles just transfer it to a dark glass bottle .The reason people do this is because of plastic particles getting into the caster oil
I applied it on my thyroidectomy incision after it closed. I always healed with keloid scars all my life. This time, you can’t even see where the incision was! I’m sold!!!!
Please make sure the castor oil is pure and hexane free. It’s wonderful for the hair… in India we have been using castor oil for years but always mixed with cold pressed coconut oil (3/4 coconut oil and 1/4 castor oil)
I had a hardened stye near my eyelashes leaving a large hard bump. I tried everything for over 2 months & nothing worked. I then used a small amount of castor oil on my lid and within 2 days it was gone. No one will tell me it doesn't work.
I've actually just started using castor oil on my eyelids, as a desperate attempt to help my severe dry eyes. I was constantly feeling like something was in my eye and despite heat therapy, massage therapy, different eye drops, nothing else was helping me rid this problem and blinking was uncomfortable. I even had a humidifier going to put moisture into the air. I realized after a day or so of using castor oil ontop of my lids at night that the irritated feeling of severe dry eye was gone. I still use drops, but the "bumps" I imagine were under my lids (as I've been told from the eye doctor in the past due to dry eye irritation) are no longer there. So dang grateful!
I, too, had severe dry eye...like my eyelids were stuck to my eyeball when I'd sleep. It was horrible! I bought organic pure hexane free cold pressed castor oil and put a drop in each eye at night and it fixed my dry eye problem in days! It was a dream! I don't know if it works for everyone, but it did me! I have also used it around my eyes. Glad others had success with this natural treatment.
It works for everything eye it seems! The eye skin, the eyes themselves, lashes and brows look so good I feel like I don't even want to use makeup anymore.
I have dry eyes. I was using it for eye lash grow and found it also helped with my dry eye over night. I use a mascara wound and then rub it in. Do not need to use drops any more.
I've had a dry scaly patch (about the size of a quarter) on my face for a couple of years, and nothing has helped it. I recently watched some videos about castor oil so decided to try it. I'm actually shocked that within 3 days of putting castor oil on my face twice daily, that dry patch has almost completely disappeared. I've been smearing the oil on my entire face and it's really helped my dry skin. Now I'm using it for my hands, arms, legs and feet. I'm a paramedic in a very rural area (hot in summer and can get below 0 in the winter. We also have a lack of humidity that sometimes is as low as 8-9% so dry...dry...dry...) and constantly washing and disinfecting my hands so my skin is very dry. I also work 24-48 hour shifts wearing heavy boots, so my feet get rough (and sore). After my shifts, and taking a hot shower (opening the pores), I apply castor oil and massage it into my feet. Someone asked me if I apply castor oil. Actually, what I say is that I smear it...I glop it. I drizzle it. It's thick and gooey, but my goodness it works.
I have been using castor oil on my skin for a couple of months now. I am 71 and don't think I could have used it 20 years ago. It would have been way too thick. Now, my skin is very dry and it seems to, for the most part, sink into my skin--not immediately but in a half hour or so. I really think my skin looks less dry since I started using it. In addition, I had a basal cell carcinoma on the side of my nose a couple of years ago. They surgically removed it using Mohs surgery but it resulted in a scar starting at the corner of my eye going to the corner of my nose--22 stitches. Every since then, that scar line has been extremely irritated looking and red. Since using castor oil, the redness is gone and it seems to have flattened pretty much completely. Anyway, it's a win for me.
I've been using castor oil for over 16 years all over my body. I was born with eczema, I've always had a bad dry, flacky patches and tectured skin. When my i visited my grandma when i was 17, she gave me a small bottle of castor oil to put mix with my acqeous cream. I never left that combo till now. Its the only thing that has ever worked. I cant believe a dermatologist never recommended me castor oil to try all these years.
One of the best aspects of putting castor oil on your face (or skin generally) is it feels like you are smearing maple syrup on your skin. Who doesn't love that? I use it but mixed with frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, and jojoba oil so it is much less viscous.
That’s what we use in the Caribbean for centuries to grow hair, to stop flu like symptoms, nasal congestion, we mix it with coffee to detox, etc…. I always have castor oil in my medicine cabinet. I don’t know anyone who is allergic to castor oil.
Castor oil was used by the ancient Egyptians, the Ancient Greeks and Romans used it, so no doubt the Romans brought it to Britain when they invaded. It’s one of the world’s oldest remedies.
I have unsightly spider veins on my legs. I started applying castor oil morning and night. It has made a huge difference. The veins have decreased in size and changed from purple to blue. I am hopeful I can wear shorts again soon.
I have them too! Not sure if you've tried IPL hair removal/reduction- but after using my device for the first time the other day, some are now gone, and they're all lighter. Can't wait for my next treatment (I'm supposed to do it once a week,- I bought the Braun silk pro 5). I had tried sclerotherapy, apple cider vinegar, you name it! And couldn't believe my eyes after using IPL! And sure enough, when I researched it, the research is there to back it up. Apparently it does nothing for varicose veins, but def helps with spider veins. But if you do it, don't use it over tattoos.
@@21972012145525not the same and WHO HAS THE $$$ for sclerotherapy UNLESS its covered by insurance???🙄🙄🙄 Most people dont have that luxury...? Average COST for Sclerotherapy is $343 per session..😱?
I've been using caster oil on my eyebrows and lashes. I noticed a difference on the lashes. I no longer use expensive eyelash growth products. I've just started using it at night on my skin.
Thanks to all of you (and Dr. Dray!) for your anecdotal feedback. As long as it doesn’t harm you I don’t care if a lot of studies have been done on it or not. Your experiences mean more to me. Thanks, again! ❤
I was 7 days overdue. After my water broke and I still didn't go into labor, my midwife put castor oil with ice cream and orange juice. It tasted like a creamcicle (yum). Anyway, 3 hours later, I completed eliminated all poop and went into labor and delivered a baby boy in a jacuzzi. Beautiful Birth!
I have had great success with it as a nail repair. I had terrible nails that were soft and would tare and putting castor oil regularly on my nails has really repaired and hardened them.
This is just fabulous for anti-aging effects. So reasonably priced. Forget about test studies just try it yourself I think you will be pleasantly surprised...
Thick yes but actually gives you a nice massage for your face muscles as you apply it. I have been using it about a month now and I will honestly and as a chronic skeptic say, it’s working at minimizing my face wrinkles. It’s also lightening my sun spots…
I have noticed the same thing regarding sun spots fading, I mix it with moisturiser and apply, also on my body. I have noticed skin tags and senile warts ( I’m 64) are smoothing out. At my last skin check with my dermatologist, he commented how great my skin looked for my age.
Oh , castor oil , we have used for occasional serious constipations. It really helps also to preserve the gloss and health of the hair and the hydration of the scalp.
I have used castor oil on my face with alil water on my face to spread better. It’s been pretty good to wear under foundation and it does feel like it hydrates area in my face that’s dry. Really good experience! Especially with my type of skin, combination and acne prone.
@@ganecesands3619are you using c.o. I'm waiting for my order to arrive 😮. MY face creams are mainly retinol based. I wonder if it's safe to mix with that. But yes, I like the idea, of just putting, a certain amount in my moisturiser 🌺
I'd only use filtered water if you do that....the oil will take whatever else is in there, ..in to your skin your skin takes everything into the blood.
I grew up with my grandma who was born in 1933. She used castor oil on me all the time. It’s helped with scars, burns, scraps, bruises. When I was little my toe nail was ripped off after getting caught in a door. She had me wrap my toe in a bag of castor oil. It grew back quickly and prevented a trip to the ER. We also used it on my brothers scar after his hips surgery.
I sometimes use castor oil pack on my breasts and under my arm pits at night before I sleep Reduces the tenderness and helps dissolve lumps n cysts….overall detox.
It is true! I've only used Shaklee on my face since the early 90s. I've recently discovered organic castor oil and have been applying it over my normal cream routine...there is absolutely a difference in the lines around my eyes, forehead, mouth and neck being visibly diminished after only a couple of weeks! I'm totally sold and will be using it solely once I'm done with my current Shaklee inventory. At 62 I never imagined I could find something inexpensive and organic to replace what's been working for me for 30+ years...and it's even better!
Hi I’ve just purchased a bottle of cold pressed caster oil I can’t Waite to see what benefits it may give. I’ve read how great it is for eyelashes and eyebrows, my eyebrows have stopped growing it’s been a year. Anything that benefits us and is a good and natural has to be good.
@@jofrances3296You're gonna love the results! I even apply a little to my shins, which were always a little dry even using shea butter, almond oil, coconut oil...they all are great but don't penetrate like the castor oil does. I'm truly impressed with the stuff...enough so that I've already restocked! Hope you find it as a terrific new discovery as I do!
My sister suggested it as her face looks younger and I asked her as at 57 I'm starting getting wrinkles. I stay indoors always. I will definitely try it. I don't have any skin issues but wrinkles starting to show
I used a mix of castor oil and sweet almond oil on the psoriasis on the nape of my neck, of which I had for 15 years. I tried all other traditional treatments and nothing cured it. Those treatments had some very temporary improvements. So I thought I'd give the castor oil mixture a try. That was in 2016. I haven't had any psoriasis or any flare-ups since. Who knows, castor oil or sweet almond oil or the combination of both may have made remission possible... or cured it... or maybe it was an unknown factor. In a nutshell, after using it for a week psoriasis has not returned 7 years +.
Thank you for posting your testimony to psoriasis. I am new to this type of treatment and have been looking for ways to either cure or relieve the plaque psoriasis. My son has it terrible on his ears and elbows. Will definitely give this a try! Thank you for sharing
I mix castor oil with an array of other oil like jojoba, argon, safflower, apricot, olive, avocado, coconut, all that thins it down, and I use the oil after I take a shower, as face moisturizer, and sometimes use what is left over on my hands on hair and scalp if dry. A little goes a long way, and I find buying large containers of oil is overkill. Get the smallest bottles.
It has helped me with those brown age marks near my temples on my face. It also has helped me with my hair and dandruff issues. I bought my castor oil on Amazon.
Viscosity can be abated by simply rubbing a liberal amount of oil between hands: then lay hands on area to be treated, without rubbing. Repeat transfer process until all surface areas have been treated. This is a pretty gentle and effective way to apply the product, soaking into the skin relatively quickly. Really helps with inflammation and bruising as well as skin torments specifically around the eyes.
I use castor oil for my body oil right after the bath or shower. I’m noticing my skin less dry. In the past I used almond or grape seed oils. I find castor oil much better for me.
As soon as I learned about it I put it on my forehead wrinkke i have had since 22. It worked instantly most likely filled it in!! I used cold press Jamaican castor oil with a tiny but of almond oil. The one referred was regular cold pressed castor oil which I will try next.
More anecdotal information. I started using a castor oil/jojoba oil blend about 12 yrs ago as an oil cleanse. I was in my late 50s. I was going through some stressful life changes and was experiencing recurring cystic acne that nothing seemed to help. Serums had also become very popular and I was experimenting with different serum products for the signs of aging I was seeing. In frustration, I stopped all the other products and started using the castor oil cleanse and just used jojoba oil for moisturizing. Within a month my acne was gone. The oils also seemed to give my skin as much wrinkle minimization/good effects as any of the previous products I had tried. Since then I have added some additional products (mostly other facial oils) to my routine, but I still use the castor oil blend for cleansing. If for some reason I am not able to do the oil cleanse, I can tell a difference in skin volume and feel the next morning. So, I can say it has been a winner for my skin.
@@danniedebe9885you can spot treat if you want to but I just spread it thinly on my whole face before bed, it does help with acne, cystic acne, any kind of breakouts. Keeps my face looking great, I’m 64.
I have long thick hair and have fought dry skin all my adult life. I rub C.O. between my palms and rub it on the ends of my hair. My beautician has never found split ends. It is very helpful on my face and neck also. I have never had acne. Yes, it is thick to apply but it takes care of dry areas. I just find it effective for myself.
I use castor oil under my eyes it helps tightened by eyes bags . I’m using it under my make up and loving the results. I simply can not do without my castor oil. 😊
I just started using castor oil a month ago, changing nothing else in my routine, I use a snail mucin serum and tretinoin a c times a week plus timeless vitamin c serum..castor oil has been the difference in a glow and lightening of age spots and reducing fine lines.
@@aprilgarnett55hi I’ve just bought a bottle today of caster oil cold pressed organic can’t Waite to use this and I’m hoping it has the same good results for myself. Glad it’s been good for yourself.
I was a little reluctant to use it but I am a believer now ,I love using it on My face and eyes every night I have seen a reduction on wrinkles on my face and my eyes are clearer and my vision has definitely improved and no break outs so nice I am hooked.
It probably depends on the type of foundation, but I’ve found castor oil really nice under mine. I put a light layer on before foundation and it gets rid of the stickiness and gives me a glow.
I live in New Zealand, and get one from my local pharmacy. I don’t think they sell that one overseas. (I’m assuming you don’t live where I do). It’s best to get one that’s organic, hexane free, and cold pressed
You should only use castor oil if its in a dark glass jar and is cold pressed hexane free organic, and has never come in contact with any plastic it absorbs things it touches, also never put plastic over it when applied to skin only organic cotton or wool
I see lots of people transfer the oil to those little empty mascara tubes for eyelash growth, but they are clear plastic. So wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?
I bought Castor oil a few weeks ago to try 9n myknee pain and also used it on flaky dry skin patches on my face that I couldn't seem to get rid of. After putting Castor oil on my face for several hours I was frankly shocked to see my dry patches were completely gone. It's been over 2 weeks and my facial skin is still so smooth and looks great. I'm very impressed. Just wish it would work on my knee pain.
I used to get cysts on my back and face as well as these little painful nodules on my forehead. I randomly came across some forums where a ton of people said to try castor oil. I applied it everyday on the cysts and the nodules and within two weeks or so they completely disappeared. I have been seeing a dermatologist before and he said they would have to be excised. He was amazed the castor oil worked. Thinking that it was maybe just a one-off, I was able to try it several more times when the cysts came back. I have one on my cheek and every time it starts to come back I apply a little bit of castor oil and within a couple of days it goes back down for months and months. Some of the cysts have never come back.
I have started adding castor oil in my homemade skin oil. I use avocado oil with carrot seed oil, rose geranium oil, and castor oil. My skin seems to love it.
I love how there’s never any real studies on natural products that have been used for centuries. No real studies because no big money to be made

Hi Dr Dray! I had a ganglion cyst in my wrist for about 2 months and it kept getting bigger every week. I put Castor Oil on it and wrapped it at night with a piece of gauze soaked in castor Oil on the cyst using a compression sock. The ganglion cyst literally disappeared in 2 days. So wonderful.
wow! that's amazing! I had one cut out of my wrist and it was the worst recovery after surgery I've ever had. I will pass this tip along! thank you
I had a growth on my lower eyelid that's been growing for a couple of years. I started treating it with organic hexane free castor oil last spring. The growth shriveled and fell of last week. Good stuff.
You can also get rid of a ganglion cyst by hitting it sharply with the edge of a book or some such. I know it sounds crazy, but my doctor told me to try it and it worked. lol
@@starchertkwhat is hexane
I had it too. By chance I had a spicy meal one night and the following morning my cyst was gone!
I’m of Danish decent, blonde fair haired lady age 57. I started 3 months ago using castor oil 2-3x’s/week on my hair. I have much less hair fall & my hair is starting to feel fuller & is shinier. I’ve also have been applying it to a fatty benign tumor above my knee. It was an inch & a half long & quarter inch wide. Castor oil packs night & day has reduced it to a third of the size at this point & has softened & dissolving the tumor so much! Maybe scientists who aren’t swayed by money should research castor oil. Then pray big pharma doesn’t try to get greedy & make castor oil expensive somehow. There are quite a lot of positive testimonies out there. I highly recommend using castor oil.

I'm 40 and work 3rd shift. Castor oil is the only thing that has healed my eyelid eczema. My eyelids are no longer red, burning, and itchy. It has also helped get rid of my dandruff and soothed my itchy scalp. I've tried many face and hair products before castor oil, and castor oil has been a miracle product for me. Best 10$ I've ever spent.
Would you mind sharing how you used it for your dandruff? Thank you
Yes pls share and also what brand etc. thanks.
What brand?
Sky organics castor oil has a twist top. I squeeze it onto my scalp and comb through my hair, and sleep with a silk bonnet on. I wash it out when I wake up.
Same here. Resolved the eczema at the base of my scalp. I use it only once a week. I mix in an applicator 1 part olive oil and 3 parts castor oil. I apply to dry hair from my scalp to the ends of my hair. Then wear a shower cap, wrap a towel around my head and watch a movie or whatever for about 1/2 hr to hour. I then rinse, gently wash, rinse again and wash one more time. My hair is shiny and silky looking and has never looked better (I have highlighted hair that was over processed). I tried coconut oil as a carrier oil with it but I have sensitive skin and the coconut oil can be an irritant and it definitely was irritating to my scalp. Olive oil as a carrier oil works much better.
Fast forward a month of using castor oil for my hair, and I can tell you with 100% certainly that it really does help with hair growth. I have fine baby hairs along my hairline that I haven’t had in years!!! I’m going to try it on my eyebrows now too. I’m in my 50’s now and what the heck is up with eyebrows getting sparse as you age???
almost two decades ago I started adding a small amount of castor oil (about a quarter size into my shampoo). You would think adding it into shampoo wouldn't really do anything and that you would be washing it out immediately but I read some anecdotal evidence supporting it for hair growith so I decided to try it. I remember after using it in my shampoo for about two months and then going to my hairdresser for a trim. She was astounded at my hair health and said I had baby hairs growing in everywhere. The castor oil was the only thing I could think of that I have done differently.
Does it weigh down your hair adding it to the shampoo? Or make it greasy?
It has definitely helped grow my eyebrows back.
Great idea! I shall do that.
Do u put 1/4 size castor oil in the shampoo bottle or put it on yr hand and mix with shampoo? Please advise, thanks

I took before, and after photos too. Shocking !
Can you elaborate on how you used the 2 together? (Baking soda + Castor Oil)
There's a video of a guy who used to do manual labor and always get warts in his hands so he always used this remedy - 1:1 baking soda and castor oil mix. He scraped or used a pin to penetrate the wart just so the castor oil baking soda mix would penetrate and put a band aid on it. He would reapply the oil and change the bandage every 12hrs for a month. And the wart should disappear by then always in his case

I pinned my hair up high on my head, I poured some in my hands to warm it up and used it on my neck, face, and eyes and slept on my back.

It has helped a lot on my eczema too, little areas of my chin, jaw & my hands. As little as 3 days it has cleared up the itchy redness!

Castor oil is amazing for eyelids. After 50 I noticed my eyelids were getting more saggy, dry and wrinkled and not even the best eye serums helped to make them look better. I now apply it over the eye serum and the skin has improved incredibly!! I did it every night for a few nights, but now I´m fine with only applying it a few times a week. To me it IS magical!
Is it not too heavy for eyelids ?
Surely it would make the skin sag more by stretching the skin ?

If you put it on your fingertips, then dab onto the eyelid, undereye, etc. You don't want to drag it.

I’ve been using this on my neck and face and I have to say it really gives a smooth feeling on my skin but I still have age spots and wrinkles but I’ve only been using it a couple times a week for about a month so stay tuned

Hi, did you have Any success on the pigmentation yet?
I used it for kidney stones every night for 3 weeks as a pack with heating pad for first hour. Had been dealing with pain off and on for over a year. It’s been almost 2 months… pain is gone. I have a history of kidney stones in the past. I swear by this stuff ❤
What brand?
@@bridgetwoodward8031don’t see why it would matter.
I passed over 25 kidney stones. They were all made of calcium like most kidney stones. The only thing that stopped them was magnesium citrate every night, I stopped taking Ibuprofen and of course drink lots of water helps. But the magnesium was key. I used to have 3-4 stones in each kidney. After magnesium I went t for an ultrasound and the stones were gone. I have not pass a stone in 3 years
How did you take magnesium?

Me too! Castor oil is a life saver!
Consider we'll likely never have any real studies about the effects of things like castor oil, because there is no money in it for anyone. e.g. it's cheap, it's not regulated, and it's very rare that anyone will pay for a study on a product that won't make money for anyone, unfortunately.
Exactly, she should just use a disclaimer and quit wasting valuable time talking about it.
Exactly, whoever gets the benefits from castor oil would spread the word, and we can all benefit from it. Isn't that the best study?
Studies have been done for years. It's an old remedy for hair growth, lightening skin etc
@@juliasummers7417no... that's not how science works...

It does grow hair. That’s what we’ve being using in Haiti for decades to reduce hair breakage and improve alopecia. It works people and it’s very cheap in my country.
Ive used castor oil for years on my face. I think it lessens the look of wrinkles, plus it provides great moisture. Im 70 years young 😊
Sandra which castor oil did you purchase. I am learning today about the dark glass bottle. Unfortunately my shipment arrived yesterday and it is the plastic bottle. Is it any good? Please help.
@MommyDonna927 Many caster oils are now in plastic bottles just transfer it to a dark glass bottle .The reason people do this is because of plastic particles getting into the caster oil
I applied it on my thyroidectomy incision after it closed. I always healed with keloid scars all my life. This time, you can’t even see where the incision was! I’m sold!!!!
Wow, that is wonderful! :) Thank you very much for sharing your experience ^_^
Exciting! I’m gonna try it on my 8 week old tummy tuck scar
I use castor oil. I warm it up in my hands before applying to my face. It’s amazing for my extremely dry skin in the winter.
Please make sure the castor oil is pure and hexane free. It’s wonderful for the hair… in India we have been using castor oil for years but always mixed with cold pressed coconut oil (3/4 coconut oil and 1/4 castor oil)
What is Hexane
A chemical used in gasoline and for extracting oil from tiny seeds, such as rape seed, otherwise known as Canola oil.
What is Hexane, and where do you get cold pressed coconut 🥥 Thank you
Also needs to be in a dark glass bottle, not plastic!
This combination is exactly what I apply on my not so dry body after a shower and at 69 my skin is very soft, smooth and looks quite nice.
I had a hardened stye near my eyelashes leaving a large hard bump. I tried everything for over 2 months & nothing worked. I then used a small amount of castor oil on my lid and within 2 days it was gone. No one will tell me it doesn't work.
I've actually just started using castor oil on my eyelids, as a desperate attempt to help my severe dry eyes. I was constantly feeling like something was in my eye and despite heat therapy, massage therapy, different eye drops, nothing else was helping me rid this problem and blinking was uncomfortable. I even had a humidifier going to put moisture into the air. I realized after a day or so of using castor oil ontop of my lids at night that the irritated feeling of severe dry eye was gone. I still use drops, but the "bumps" I imagine were under my lids (as I've been told from the eye doctor in the past due to dry eye irritation) are no longer there. So dang grateful!
ME too! My eyes were dry in spite of fact I use homeopathic drops. The castor oil on my eyelids have helped so much!
I, too, had severe dry eye...like my eyelids were stuck to my eyeball when I'd sleep. It was horrible! I bought organic pure hexane free cold pressed castor oil and put a drop in each eye at night and it fixed my dry eye problem in days! It was a dream! I don't know if it works for everyone, but it did me! I have also used it around my eyes. Glad others had success with this natural treatment.
Same. I put castor oil on my eyelids every night. It cured my dry eyes, and even improved my vision.
It works for everything eye it seems! The eye skin, the eyes themselves, lashes and brows look so good I feel like I don't even want to use makeup anymore.
@@lorilogerfo9536what is hexane
I have dry eyes. I was using it for eye lash grow and found it also helped with my dry eye over night. I use a mascara wound and then rub it in. Do not need to use drops any more.
I use castor oil to thicken my eyebrows & it does work for me.
It grew mine back ! 😊
I'm so motivated to try this tomorrow!! Thank you for sharing!
I've had a dry scaly patch (about the size of a quarter) on my face for a couple of years, and nothing has helped it. I recently watched some videos about castor oil so decided to try it. I'm actually shocked that within 3 days of putting castor oil on my face twice daily, that dry patch has almost completely disappeared. I've been smearing the oil on my entire face and it's really helped my dry skin. Now I'm using it for my hands, arms, legs and feet. I'm a paramedic in a very rural area (hot in summer and can get below 0 in the winter. We also have a lack of humidity that sometimes is as low as 8-9% so dry...dry...dry...) and constantly washing and disinfecting my hands so my skin is very dry. I also work 24-48 hour shifts wearing heavy boots, so my feet get rough (and sore). After my shifts, and taking a hot shower (opening the pores), I apply castor oil and massage it into my feet. Someone asked me if I apply castor oil. Actually, what I say is that I smear it...I glop it. I drizzle it. It's thick and gooey, but my goodness it works.
You can mix it with any other skincare cream or lotion and get the same great effect. It makes it so much easier to spread.
I have been using castor oil on my skin for a couple of months now. I am 71 and don't think I could have used it 20 years ago. It would have been way too thick. Now, my skin is very dry and it seems to, for the most part, sink into my skin--not immediately but in a half hour or so. I really think my skin looks less dry since I started using it. In addition, I had a basal cell carcinoma on the side of my nose a couple of years ago. They surgically removed it using Mohs surgery but it resulted in a scar starting at the corner of my eye going to the corner of my nose--22 stitches. Every since then, that scar line has been extremely irritated looking and red. Since using castor oil, the redness is gone and it seems to have flattened pretty much completely. Anyway, it's a win for me.
Yes I used for my scalp
Use junto com outro creme, irá deslizar mais facilmente na pele, usar sozinho ele não desliza rápido e fácil
ربي يشفيك وربي يشفي كل مريض
Interesting about the mohs surgery, thank you for mentioning that.

I've been using castor oil for over 16 years all over my body. I was born with eczema, I've always had a bad dry, flacky patches and tectured skin. When my i visited my grandma when i was 17, she gave me a small bottle of castor oil to put mix with my acqeous cream. I never left that combo till now. Its the only thing that has ever worked. I cant believe a dermatologist never recommended me castor oil to try all these years.
How old are you now?
Doesn't it cause body hair growth?
@@moonchild650 No it doesnt.
Your dr didn't recommend it b/c that takes away their profit! Can't be disturbing big Pharma /big daddy drug dealer now!
One of the best aspects of putting castor oil on your face (or skin generally) is it feels like you are smearing maple syrup on your skin. Who doesn't love that?
I use it but mixed with frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, and jojoba oil so it is much less viscous.
That’s what we use in the Caribbean for centuries to grow hair, to stop flu like symptoms, nasal congestion, we mix it with coffee to detox, etc…. I always have castor oil in my medicine cabinet. I don’t know anyone who is allergic to castor oil.
Castor oil was used by the ancient Egyptians, the Ancient Greeks and Romans used it, so no doubt the Romans brought it to Britain when they invaded. It’s one of the world’s oldest remedies.
How many times per month do you drink castor oil with coffee to detox? And how many spoons?
Been using castor oil for a month on my face and I have notice my skin more taught and my jawoling has minimized! This stuff is amazing g!

I have unsightly spider veins on my legs. I started applying castor oil morning and night. It has made a huge difference. The veins have decreased in size and changed from purple to blue. I am hopeful I can wear shorts again soon.
I have them too! Not sure if you've tried IPL hair removal/reduction- but after using my device for the first time the other day, some are now gone, and they're all lighter. Can't wait for my next treatment (I'm supposed to do it once a week,- I bought the Braun silk pro 5). I had tried sclerotherapy, apple cider vinegar, you name it! And couldn't believe my eyes after using IPL! And sure enough, when I researched it, the research is there to back it up. Apparently it does nothing for varicose veins, but def helps with spider veins. But if you do it, don't use it over tattoos.
@@hotmessmomtv4117 Where did purchase it?

Thanks to all of you (and Dr. Dray!) for your anecdotal feedback. As long as it doesn’t harm you I don’t care if a lot of studies have been done on it or not. Your experiences mean more to me. Thanks, again! ❤
Exactly. Thousands of years of use!
I was 7 days overdue. After my water broke and I still didn't go into labor, my midwife put castor oil with ice cream and orange juice. It tasted like a creamcicle (yum). Anyway, 3 hours later, I completed eliminated all poop and went into labor and delivered a baby boy in a jacuzzi. Beautiful Birth!
I have had great success with it as a nail repair. I had terrible nails that were soft and would tare and putting castor oil regularly on my nails has really repaired and hardened them.
This is just fabulous for anti-aging effects. So reasonably priced. Forget about test studies just try it yourself I think you will be pleasantly surprised...
😂😂😂😂
As a clinical Microbiologist I appreciated you using the current nomenclature for Cutibacterium.
Thick yes but actually gives you a nice massage for your face muscles as you apply it. I have been using it about a month now and I will honestly and as a chronic skeptic say, it’s working at minimizing my face wrinkles. It’s also lightening my sun spots…

@@jennysaunders6648 fabulous idea thanks!!
I have noticed the same thing regarding sun spots fading, I mix it with moisturiser and apply, also on my body. I have noticed skin tags and senile warts ( I’m 64) are smoothing out. At my last skin check with my dermatologist, he commented how great my skin looked for my age.
I use caster oil on my neck & it works great. I also had red spots on my cheeks that wouldn’t go away with any product except castor oil.
What does it do for neck?
Did you get any facial hair on your neck using c oil ? Thank you 🙏🏻 😊
Love using Organic Cold Pressed Castor oil on my face, skin, lashes, eyebrows and hair. Outstanding results! Will never stop ❤
Oh , castor oil , we have used for occasional serious constipations. It really helps also to preserve the gloss and health of the hair and the hydration of the scalp.
I have used castor oil on my face with alil water on my face to spread better. It’s been pretty good to wear under foundation and it does feel like it hydrates area in my face that’s dry. Really good experience! Especially with my type of skin, combination and acne prone.
I watched a video today, & she said that some people have put the oil in their face products.
@@ganecesands3619are you using c.o.
I'm waiting for my order to arrive 😮.
MY face creams are mainly retinol based.
I wonder if it's safe to mix with that.
But yes, I like the idea, of just putting, a certain amount in my moisturiser 🌺
I'd only use filtered water if you do that....the oil will take whatever else is in there, ..in to your skin your skin takes everything into the blood.
I grew up with my grandma who was born in 1933. She used castor oil on me all the time. It’s helped with scars, burns, scraps, bruises. When I was little my toe nail was ripped off after getting caught in a door. She had me wrap my toe in a bag of castor oil. It grew back quickly and prevented a trip to the ER. We also used it on my brothers scar after his hips surgery.
Does it grow hair on face ?? Like Upper lips , facial hair, chin and sides ????????
@@MotorolaE4-np1kl nope but it’s very soothing. I keep some in a bottle, place it in a pot of hot water to heat up the oil then apply

If you have cysts in your breasts are Underarms I would get those looked at 😮

It is true! I've only used Shaklee on my face since the early 90s. I've recently discovered organic castor oil and have been applying it over my normal cream routine...there is absolutely a difference in the lines around my eyes, forehead, mouth and neck being visibly diminished after only a couple of weeks! I'm totally sold and will be using it solely once I'm done with my current Shaklee inventory. At 62 I never imagined I could find something inexpensive and organic to replace what's been working for me for 30+ years...and it's even better!
Hi I’ve just purchased a bottle of cold pressed caster oil I can’t Waite to see what benefits it may give. I’ve read how great it is for eyelashes and eyebrows, my eyebrows have stopped growing it’s been a year. Anything that benefits us and is a good and natural has to be good.
@@jofrances3296You're gonna love the results! I even apply a little to my shins, which were always a little dry even using shea butter, almond oil, coconut oil...they all are great but don't penetrate like the castor oil does. I'm truly impressed with the stuff...enough so that I've already restocked! Hope you find it as a terrific new discovery as I do!
Cured my skin cancer
I just started using on my eye lids and it has helped with my sight. And I used it on my face and my skin feels softer.
I’ve heard it causes hair growth on the face. That terrifies me! Have you heard that or noticed that?? Thanks
What did it do?
My sister suggested it as her face looks younger and I asked her as at 57 I'm starting getting wrinkles.
I stay indoors always. I will definitely try it. I don't have any skin issues but wrinkles starting to show
I used a mix of castor oil and sweet almond oil on the psoriasis on the nape of my neck, of which I had for 15 years. I tried all other traditional treatments and nothing cured it. Those treatments had some very temporary improvements.
So I thought I'd give the castor oil mixture a try.
That was in 2016.
I haven't had any psoriasis or any flare-ups since.
Who knows, castor oil or sweet almond oil or the combination of both may have made remission possible... or cured it... or maybe it was an unknown factor.
In a nutshell, after using it for a week psoriasis has not returned 7 years +.
not almond for me but castor oil cured my varicose eczema
Thank you for posting your testimony to psoriasis. I am new to this type of treatment and have been looking for ways to either cure or relieve the plaque psoriasis. My son has it terrible on his ears and elbows. Will definitely give this a try! Thank you for sharing

@@ninjacat508 thank you! I sure will
What brand do you use?
I mix castor oil with an array of other oil like jojoba, argon, safflower, apricot, olive, avocado, coconut, all that thins it down, and I use the oil after I take a shower, as face moisturizer, and sometimes use what is left over on my hands on hair and scalp if dry. A little goes a long way, and I find buying large containers of oil is overkill. Get the smallest bottles.
I have thin brows and eyelashes due to hypothyroid. I’ve been using castor oil and I see a difference.
Great to hear that it helps. How do you apply it to your eyelashes?
It has helped me with those brown age marks near my temples on my face. It also has helped me with my hair and dandruff issues. I bought my castor oil on Amazon.
Thanks lots for sharing your experiences :) How exactly do you use it on your face? Do you dilute it with anything? Cheers ^_^
Never used it for the skin, but have used Black Castor Oil for my hair and it works wonders.
What do u mean does it grow hair
Viscosity can be abated by simply rubbing a liberal amount of oil between hands: then lay hands on area to be treated, without rubbing. Repeat transfer process until all surface areas have been treated. This is a pretty gentle and effective way to apply the product, soaking into the skin relatively quickly. Really helps with inflammation and bruising as well as skin torments specifically around the eyes.
… that is how I use it …
Usually it's preferred to massage an oil into the skin that's why many find it hard to use

I use that method on my face, but I rub it into my body.
Thank you for this tip!
For anyone losing hair consider an iodine supplement. It stopped my excess hair loss, pretty much immediately.

Thanks .
Pretty sure that messes with your thyroid, so you should be careful supplementing for that
@@evelynrosado9711my naturopathic doctor advised me, a dropper full of Iodine Oligo, once a day for 3 months.
Be careful with iodine supplementation. Over supplementation of iodine can stress your thyroid function leading to improper function.
I use castor oil for my body oil right after the bath or shower. I’m noticing my skin less dry. In the past I used almond or grape seed oils. I find castor oil much better for me.
I've been using Castor Oil for 13 years in my hair, body care, and skin care. I don't look or feel 33 at all. It's been a boon in my life for sure
33 is not old 😂
@dmac6704 Literally never said it was.
I use castor oil for removing eye makeup. It doesn't aggravate my blepharitis while mineral oil does.
As soon as I learned about it I put it on my forehead wrinkke i have had since 22. It worked instantly most likely filled it in!! I used cold press Jamaican castor oil with a tiny but of almond oil. The one referred was regular cold pressed castor oil which I will try next.
More anecdotal information. I started using a castor oil/jojoba oil blend about 12 yrs ago as an oil cleanse. I was in my late 50s. I was going through some stressful life changes and was experiencing recurring cystic acne that nothing seemed to help. Serums had also become very popular and I was experimenting with different serum products for the signs of aging I was seeing. In frustration, I stopped all the other products and started using the castor oil cleanse and just used jojoba oil for moisturizing. Within a month my acne was gone. The oils also seemed to give my skin as much wrinkle minimization/good effects as any of the previous products I had tried. Since then I have added some additional products (mostly other facial oils) to my routine, but I still use the castor oil blend for cleansing. If for some reason I am not able to do the oil cleanse, I can tell a difference in skin volume and feel the next morning. So, I can say it has been a winner for my skin.
Brilliant! :) Which other oils are you using now? Cheers ^_^
In Haiti, Castor oil has been used for everything.
I grew up in a Haitian household and I confirm this is true!!!

For your eyes, do you put it on your lids?
For eyes, Be sure to put the Castor Oil on top and bottom of eyelids and eyelashes. Do NOT put CO directly into eyes!!!
I've used castor oil packs a few times & found them to be very effective for the issues I had .
This is day 2 using it on my face wrinkles and I’m already starting to see a difference
It reduces inflamation in joints as well!!!!
It probably depends on the type of foundation, but I’ve found castor oil really nice under mine. I put a light layer on before foundation and it gets rid of the stickiness and gives me a glow.
What type do you use? Thanks
I live in New Zealand, and get one from my local pharmacy. I don’t think they sell that one overseas. (I’m assuming you don’t live where I do). It’s best to get one that’s organic, hexane free, and cold pressed
Oh wait did you mean what type foundation? It’s Revlon colorstay
I do this as well
You need an oil based foundation. If you use a water based it will separate.
For anyone wondering :)
You should only use castor oil if its in a dark glass jar and is cold pressed hexane free organic, and has never come in contact with any plastic it absorbs things it touches, also never put plastic over it when applied to skin only organic cotton or wool
What is hexane
I see lots of people transfer the oil to those little empty mascara tubes for eyelash growth, but they are clear plastic. So wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?
@@nxwolfe138yes
What brand of castor oil did you use.
Most of it is sold in plastic bottles
I bought Castor oil a few weeks ago to try 9n myknee pain and also used it on flaky dry skin patches on my face that I couldn't seem to get rid of. After putting Castor oil on my face for several hours I was frankly shocked to see my dry patches were completely gone. It's been over 2 weeks and my facial skin is still so smooth and looks great. I'm very impressed. Just wish it would work on my knee pain.
Warm the castor oil a bit , rub it on your knee and wrap the knee. It helped with my knee pain.
It helped my knees too.
I used to get cysts on my back and face as well as these little painful nodules on my forehead. I randomly came across some forums where a ton of people said to try castor oil. I applied it everyday on the cysts and the nodules and within two weeks or so they completely disappeared. I have been seeing a dermatologist before and he said they would have to be excised. He was amazed the castor oil worked. Thinking that it was maybe just a one-off, I was able to try it several more times when the cysts came back. I have one on my cheek and every time it starts to come back I apply a little bit of castor oil and within a couple of days it goes back down for months and months. Some of the cysts have never come back.
I have started adding castor oil in my homemade skin oil. I use avocado oil with carrot seed oil, rose geranium oil, and castor oil. My skin seems to love it.
