Castor Oil Prevents Wrinkles

last updated on 9 November 2011

What it does: Calms down inflammation. Prevents wrinkles and softens skin.

How to do it: Apply pure castor oil on skin. Don’t overdo it, a very light application is enough.

Why it helps: Castor oil softens skin naturally by penetrating the skin’s surface layers. This is important because an oil won’t do much good if it just sits on top of the skin. Nurses often apply castor oil on patients after cosmetic surgery.

    I AM REALLY HAPPY… IT REALLY WORKS ..

    HI, Tetley,
    I wanted to share severa things I found to be quite helpful for my thinning hair. I have hypothyroidism and am in menopause. With both problems going on I found my hair was less than desirable. It was dry and brittle and thin.
    I started eating grass fed, organic beef liver once a week. I am taking the herb Horsetail and have also started taking Cod liver oil & black currant oil. With all these suppliments, I have noticed a difference in my skin, my hair and now……never in my life before….I’m growing nails. I even like wearing nail polish for the first time in my life. Amazing! Not all herbs work for the same people the same way. There are other things that will boost your hair and nail and skin condition as well. These just work for me. For years I was mostly on a vegan diet….with cheese, eggs and occastionally chicken or turkey. When I changed my diet to include raw grass fed beef dairy, raw goat/cow cheese, liver from organic grass-fed beef and chicken and more soups (made from a bone shank) than cold salads….my health and energy levels improved and so did my hair,skin & nails. I ordered some astragalas root, ginsing, burdock root, dandelion root and licorice root for my hypothyroidism as well…..I boil about two quarts of water with a tablespoon of each dried root in the pot. …strain and I drink this as a base for my daily tea. I’ve gained my life back.

    Now, and then I cheat on my diet and I’m not worried about a little bit of something any more affecting me like it used to. I am so thankful to the Lord for showing me these little things I could do to enhance my standard of healthful livng.

    Rosemary is really good to stimulate the root growth for hair regrowth…..put a few drops in your favorite shampoo.. I’ve never tried castor oil…..except to draw out poisons. Hope it works for you..
    Blessings
    BJ

      Yes, it can be used around the eyes and even in the eyes safely (but use cold-pressed and hexane-free castor oil).

      Hi sowmya,

      Yes, you can use castor oil as a dropper to moisten dry eyes. Some people with chronic dry eyes after LASIK surgery have found relief with castor oil drops in the eye. Just make sure to use cold-pressed and hexane-free castor oil for this. Other kinds might contain chemical contaminants.

    thank u so much samantha

    you are doing a very good job by writing articles in this website

    becoz, lots of people does not know the values of things like castor oil, turmeric powder etc., which is availble at their door steops and that too cheap and can be affordable , but people will run in searching for costly products and getting no result by using them.

    pls, go ahead in doing this good work and all the best

    and if possilblc can u suggest me like how can i use this in treatment for dry eyes during day time , since it spreads and it is thick too

    i have got refined castor oil and i dont know where to get compressed castor oil and i have got only this oil near my house.

    pls , suggest me if possible madam

    thanks

      You’re very welcome, and thank you for your kind words! :)

      There’s no way to get around the heaviness and stickiness of castor oil, I’m afraid. My only suggestions are to:

      - use very little (1-2 drops) and wipe any excess around your eyes. Once castor oil is in your eye, it’ll feel less sticky because of the heat from your eyeballs and your blinking, which will help “spread” it around. You can sterilise an old store-bought eye dropper bottle and fill it with castor oil to help you control the amount you use.

      - avoid wearing eye make-up (mascara/eyeliner) as castor oil will most certainly smudge them, and chemicals from the make-up may enter your eye along with the castor oil.

      I buy mine online from iherb.com (the shipping is reasonable and there’s a discount code on the top-right of this page if you’re interested). If you can’t find cold-pressed castor oil where you live, you can use refined castor oil if you exercise some caution. Use your own good judgement in this case, if you notice any adverse reactions (eg pain, irritation, redness), you should stop using it immediately.

      Hope that helps!

    thank you so much samatha

    really i did not know that casor oil work so much

    i am started using it from yesterday, ie i read the article of urs as how it works for dry eyes

    u know i am suffering from this dry eyes and i have wipe my eyes every 5 minutes, as the white discharge comes out and i have got this problem from past 5 years. when i consulted many doctors they said it is just allergy and just wrote some eye drops and suggested to use for 1 week or so, but i consulted many but none gave proper guidance and as to how to treat with this problem of white discharge and they did not even know what the problem was.

    after searching for many weeks i understood myself as it was happening becoz of dry eyes and i was searching for some home remedies

    in that too i found nothing, but fortunately i got ur article and i found it intresting and i am finding it really it is doing good and i am feeling it from today itself.

    once again thank u very much samatha

    good luck

      Hi sowmya, that’s great that you’re finding some relief with it today. And I truly hope you’ll see a long-term improvement and healing of your dry eyes.

      Please come back and let me know how you are after some time. I’ll be interested to hear. In the meantime, take care!
