CASTOR OIL BENEFITS
Castor oil is a vegetable oil produced by pressing the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). In terms of composition, it is a triglyceride fatty acid and nearly 90% of its fatty acid substance is ricinoleic acid, an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Other vital components include oleic acid and linoleic acid.
This oil was once a folk remedy and was widely used to boost immune function at the first sign of a cold, flu, or other infection, as well as to ease
constipation
and induce vomiting in cases of poisoning. The first recorded use of this oil dates back to the ancient Egyptians, who apparently used it to treat eye infections, and in various skin care applications. While this oil offers many uses, its most common application remains as an effective constipation reliever, whether taken internally (so long as the product is food-grade) or via the application of castor oil packs.
This oil is also known for its robust antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, digestive, immune and lymphatic stimulating, and skin healing properties. This explains why it is often featured in natural skin and hair care products. It also makes an outstanding carrier oil for
essential oils
in
aromatherapy. Indeed, 4-5 drops of your choice of essential oil(s) mixed into 2-3 tablespoons of castor oil can be massaged into the skin daily for moisture and hydration, to prevent water loss and boost wound healing.

Selecting A Quality Oil
There are three basic types of castor oil available in stores and online. These include:
Cold-pressed castor oil
— This type is produced by cold-pressing the castor bean seeds to extract their natural oil content. The result is a slightly viscous, clear, colourless to pale liquid with little to no scent. This type of high-quality oil is the type recommended for internal use so long as it's formulated for internal use. Oils made for aromatherapy use are not to be ingested.
Yellow castor oil
— This type is made from the castor bean, usually through pressing with no heat, although some brands use chemicals. As a frame of reference, the lighter the oil is, the purer the product should be.
Jamaican black castor oil
— This oil is made by first roasting the castor beans, which results in a dark colour and the characteristic burnt smell. This is the method that is traditionally used in Jamaica. Keep in mind that heating may have denatured the oil to a certain extent. However, the ash in this type of oil results in a more alkaline pH, which offers more clarifying properties.
Beyond selecting the type of castor oil that best responds to your particular needs, you’ll want to look for one that is pure, certified organic, and free of pesticides, parabens, phthalates and artificial colours or fragrances. You should also note, oils intended for aromatherapy use should not be ingested, only food-grade oils are safe for consumption.
