Product Description

Castor seeds are known for their medicinal properties, primarily due to their high content of castor oil, which has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and laxative effects. Castor oil, extracted from the seeds, is widely used to relieve constipation by stimulating bowel movements. It also has strong moisturizing and healing properties, making it beneficial for skin and hair care. Studies suggest that castor oil may promote wound healing, reduce joint pain, and support immune function. However, castor seeds contain ricin, a highly toxic compound, and must never be consumed in raw or unprocessed form. Properly processed castor oil is generally safe for external and internal use in recommended doses, but excessive intake may cause abdominal discomfort or dehydration.
