A little History
Historically, castor oil was used as an oral laxative.  However, today castor oil  is mostly used and recommended as a topical application.  It’s a cheap and effective remedy for many ailments.  Castor oil  has been used for many practical applications. In Russia, the stem of the plant is used in the textile industry.





Ricinus communis, the plant from which castor oil is extracted, is native to India.  Along with amazing health benefits, the plant itself is known for  being one of the most toxic plants on earth.  However, there is nothing to worry about –  castor oil is not toxic. When castor oil is extracted,  the toxic part is left behind in the pulp of the seeds.
