Castor oil, derived from the seeds of the castor bean plant, is a versatile remedy known for its numerous health benefits and applications in skincare. Rich in ricinoleic acid, it can be used to soothe dry skin, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing when applied topically. For holistic purposes, castor oil is often used in rituals aimed at detoxification and relieving digestive issues. To apply, simply massage a few drops onto the affected area or use it as a base for other essential oils. Average costs for castor oil can range from $10 to $20 per bottle, depending on the quality and brand. Overall, incorporating castor oil into your wellness routine can enhance skin health and support holistic practices effectively.
