Castor oil

Castor oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the castor bean plant. It’s known for its thick, viscous consistency and has been used for centuries for its medicinal, cosmetic, and industrial applications. The oil contains ricinoleic acid, which gives it anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. People often use it to promote hair growth, soften skin, or relieve constipation when taken internally. It’s also used in lubricants and manufacturing. Despite its benefits, it should be used with care, especially internally, to avoid side effects.
