Castor Oil For Arthritis, Cysts, And More!

Castor oil therapy has been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine to promote healing. Castor oil does this by its ability to promote circulation, decrease inflammation, reduce blockages in the lymphatic system, and regulate hormones. It has strong anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, fat metabolism, and vaso-constrictive properties. Castor oil should only be used if recommended by your healthcare provider with specific instructions. Castor oil has been shown to be effective for arthritis, PMS, constipation, fibrocystic breasts, ovarian cysts, fibroids, moving lymphatic fluid and much more.

How Castor oil is used topically:

1. Saturate a piece of cotton flannel in cold-pressed, pure castor oil (approximately 1 cup). Smaller amounts can be used if applying to joints. Direct application works best on smaller areas such as finger joints or knees.

2. The saturated material is placed directly on the skin over the lower abdomen, liver, breast, arthritic or painful joints depending on what you are trying to achieve.

3. Cover the section with plastic wrap and place a towel on top.

4. Add a gentle heat source on top of the wrap such as a hot water bottle or heating pad.

5. Lie down and rest for 30-45 minutes.

Castor Oil Therapy is typically done over a course of 8-16 weeks, with a 3-5 times per week. Do not leave it on longer than recommended.
