Castor Oil
| Castor The Castor Oil plant, originally from India, is known by various ancient Sanskrit names. In Ayurvedic Texts, it has been recognized as an effective controller of vata, which regulates body movements and neurological functions. Castor oil is primarily used to address vata disorders and neurological conditions like Hemiplegia. Its cooling properties help alleviate pitta-related issues and provide a soothing effect on the mind and scalp tissues. Valued for centuries, this plant is renowned for its oil-rich seeds. The oil, composed mainly of ricinoleic acid (85–96%), is nourishing, moisturizing, and beneficial for healthy skin flora. Castor oil offers numerous benefits, from medicinal to industrial uses. It possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, providing relief from joint and muscle pain. It is also effective in treating skin conditions, promoting hair growth, and improving scalp health. Moreover, the plant’s leaves and stems act as natural pesticides, repelling insects and minimizing harm to ecosystems. |
