It is known for certain that castor oil began to be used in ancient Egypt, and the scope of this oil was quite wide even in those distant times. Our ancestors took castor oil as a laxative and considered it one of the most powerful beauty tools.

Castor oil is produced from the fruit of the castor bean, an unpretentious plant, which, moreover, is poisonous and is distributed throughout the globe.
Has a laxative effect
Castor oil helps to cope with short-term constipation. To do this, it is enough to take 1 tablespoon of the product before bedtime. Castor oil begins to act within a few hours and effectively cleanses the body of toxins and toxins accumulated in it.
Cleanses the intestines
With the help of castor oil, you can also cleanse the intestines - for example, taking it in capsules (1-2 pcs. 3 times a day with meals for a month). Thus, you can have a delicate preventive effect on your digestive system, improving intestinal motility and ridding it and the whole body of all that is superfluous.
Moisturizes and nourishes the skin
Due to its beneficial properties, castor oil is an ingredient in a huge number of cosmetics, including face creams (castoroil), as well as medicinal ointments (for example, Vishnevsky Ointment). It contains linoleic, oleic, ricinoleic and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Castor oil is an indispensable source of vitamin E. Pure castor oil is sold in any pharmacy.
Strengthens eyelashes and hair
For cosmetic purposes, castor oil has long been used by girls to improve the growth of eyelashes and hair. To care for eyelashes, it is enough to apply oil on the upper eyelid, gently rub along the edge where the cilia grow, and leave overnight. Repeat the procedure up to three times a week for a month.
Masks and scrubs
Nourishing face masks based on castor oil are especially good in the cold season. To do this, it is enough to apply castor oil to the previously cleansed skin of the face, after a few minutes, blot the excess with a napkin and leave it overnight.
Castor oil can be used to make scrubs to cleanse the skin: add a few drops of castor oil to olive or coconut oil, a pinch of salt, and a delicate facial scrub is ready to use.
Fights pigmentation
Castor oil helps to cope with pigmentation, skin neoplasms (such as papillomas and warts), but these problems should be addressed in special medical institutions, since self-medication in this case can only lead to a worsening of the situation.
