Why you should take Castor Oil every day

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 isnt as fashionable as a retro phones, but it should be part of our modern lives. Its taste isnt nice, but you can try and mask the flavour with lemon. I do remember being a kid and refusing to open my mouth to take it. But what is Castor Oil exactly? It comes from the an Indian plant, the Castor plant. The oil is made from the plants beans, that arent really beans at all? The oil is made of up a combination of 3 fatty oils, 1) palmitic acid 2) oleic acid amd 3) alpha-linolenic acid and a single glycerol molecule. Having all of these fatty acids present means that Castor Oil contains twice as much energy as carbohydrates and proteins making Castor oil play an important role in human metabolism.Traditonal medicine called for the use of Castor Oil in skin problems, cuts and even 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 hot water bottles, on top of that. From Constipation to Liver and kidney disorders, A Castor Oil pack is said to benefit them all. Just like acupuncture, Castor Oil helps blood flow through the skin. What is amasing is Castor Oil's ability to improve the bodies immune system, its does this by increasing the number of lymphocytes in the body, lymphocytes are what the body needs to fight off infection. A holistic treatment, a Castor oil pack would be applied to the stomach around 3 times a week, and could have improved blood flow, because Castor Oil's molecular weight is so low that it is easily absorbed deep into the skin. How to make 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) * Classic Hot water bottle * Container with 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.
