Castor Oil helps you loose weight

Yes, your grandmother was right, castor oil is good for you, and in fact it's very good for you. Its a bit of a blast from the past and isn't as fashionable as retro telephones - which make unusual gifts, but it should be part of our modern lives. Ok, so it tastes awful and I remember running away at the very sight of my mother taking the bottle out of the cupboard, that oily texture that coated your tongue and just wouldn't go away for hours, yuk. But what is Castor Oil exactly? The Castor Plant of India supplies the beans, and the oil is crushed from the beans and gathered to create the oil? Their Oil is a pale odourless liquid and the remarkable thing about it is that it contains a single molecule of glycerol and three different fatty acids, palmitic acid, oleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid. Castor Oil contains much more energy than even proteins and.Early folk remedies used it to treat anything from skin problems to muscle pains and headaches. Many doctors still advise on what is called a castor oil pack, which is made by soaking a piece of flannel in castor oil, then putting it on the area of complaint and placing a heat source, such as a hot water bottle, on top of that. It is said that a castor oil pack is good for Inflammation, Congestion Constipation, Liver, kidney, and pelvic disorders. Just like acupuncture, Castor Oil helps blood flow through the skin. The wonderful thing about the oil is it's magical ability to repair the immune system. It does this by creating lymphocytes in the body, making the body able to fight off illness. A Castor oil pack would be applied to the lower abdomen, this would be done around 3 times per week to help blood flow. How did it do this? most likely due to Castor Oils ability to penetrate the skin. Tips on making a Castor oil pack: then three sheets of cotton or wool, this should be big enough to cover the affected area * Castor oil * Plastic wrap cut 1-2" larger than the flannel (can be cut from a plastic bag) a Container with a lid * Old clothes and sheets. Castor oil will stain clothing and bedding. So thats it, Castor oil is a hero after all. And if your a wuss, you could always add lemon to make it taste better.
