castor oil is anti-inflammatory it is

very good it supports our immune system

it decreases pain and all these effects

we get from castor oil because of the

substance called the resolutionic acid

ayurveda the holistic medical science

means the air component of your body and

Hari means that removes or suppresses

the water the air component of our body

even ayurveda says that castor oil is

means it gives the energy to your body

it maintains your overall health it

supports your immune system that's why

castor oil is very good if a person is

having any kind of autoimmune problem

either it's rheumatoid arthritis either

it's psoriosis either it's Hashimoto's

means thyroid issues in all these

problems castor oil can be used and I

always use this oil in treatment of all

these diseases ayurveda also says that

this oil can help you in reducing the

menstrual pains menstrual cramps in

paralysis also so in Parkinson's also

this oil can be a health shiatic pain

bone issues liver issues weakness muscle

loss in all these problems castor oil

has very good effects if a person is

having any of the problems with the

liver I always suggest use of castor oil

and I haven't seen any of the fail in my

life till now ayurveda also says that if

a person is having any of the issues

with the organs that are located down to

our umbilicus means our navel then use

of castor oil can balance all these

problems or can be a help for example

weak uterus castor oil is good any of

the problems with sperm are over castor

oil can be used in constipation in UTI

means urinary tract infection castor oil

can be used so lots of benefits of using

castor oil so now most important in path

how to use this magical castor oil if

you want to apply it externally then you

can apply it on your eyelashes on your

eyebrows also I know many people who

have treated skin tag that occurs on the

eyelashes just by use of castor oil

means regular application of castor oil

shrinks these skin tags and many people

get very good results by the use of

castor oil in the patient of psoriosis

many people rub castor oil on the skin

and this gives them relief in joint pain

also castor oil can be used I think many

of the females already know that castor

oil is very good for your eyebrows and

eyelashes if you want to grow your

eyelashes or eyebrows then also use

castor oil only thing is test it before

applying because some people can be

allergic you apply and you see that now

the hair are falling we don't want this

so apply on very little part of your

skin and near to your neck and little

part of your eye and see how your body

reacts this is very important now about

internal use there are two ways to use

it internally what I generally prefer is

use it every 10 days for a month means

today if a person drank castor oil then

you have to drink it after 10 days and

then again after 10 days and then again

after 10 days so it can be used three to

four times in a month that's it after

this you can repeat this next year for a

year don't do this kind of cleaning how

to use castor oil I generally start with

30 milliliters take 30 milliliters of

castor oil mix it in warm or hot milk or

water as you are comfortable how much

milk how much water as you are

comfortable if you are comfortable to

drink mixture of castor oil 30

milliliters castor oil and 100

milliliters of water well in good 50

milliliters also good if you want 200

milliliters then also good as you are

comfortable take that much amount of

water or milk mix it and drink it when

to drink try to drink it in the morning

and are after your light breakfast your

breakfast on this day should be on time

that is between eight to nine a.m not

late than this so that you can drink

castor oil up to 10 AM drink it and then

you have to wait some people will feel

good cleaning of intestine good laxative

effect but some people will feel almost

no effect it depends upon the armor in

your body the toxins in your body start

with 30 milliliters see how it affects

if effect is not so good next time

increase the dose go for 40 milliliters

or 50 milliliters don't increase a lot

means directly from 30 to 60 milliliters

because then it can cause cramp and

discomfort on your stomach this is what

we don't want so start with 30 then go

for 40 or 50 and see how your body

reacts to it if 40 or 50 is good dose

for you so next two time when you will

be drinking it maintain the same dose

once in every 10 days we don't have to

do it every single day second way is the

most simplest one in the market castor

oil capsules are available you have to

take three capsules at night an hour

before your sleep again the capsules you

can take with water hot or warm milk as

you are comfortable and you have to take

these capsules at least for 20-25 days

and then you can stop you have to take

them only at night not in the morning

this will help you in regular

detoxification it's not so effective as

the first one but slowly slowly

gradually it will detoxify your body you

are going to get good results with the

use of castor oil not more than 20-25

days so this is how you can use castor

oil internally so castor oil is being

used from centuries grandparents they

all know its effect we also know I'm

just adding some more information

if you know something interesting if in

any other form castor oil has helped you

then let us know in the comments down

below because maybe your experience will

be helpful for other also so don't just

hide your secret recipes with you share

it with everyone so that other people

also can get good results from it

remember that if a person is having

gallstones or if a lady is pregnant then

it's better not to consume because it

can cause premature birth or even

miscarriage with gallstones what it can

do is it can move the gallstones from

your gallbladder and it can stuck

somewhere and it can give you severe

pain and then you have to run to the

hospital and you have to go through the

operation that's surgery and we don't

want this that's why you should know all

these nuances if you are not allergic to

castor oil you don't have any of the

serious health issues then only use

castor oil castor oil is very beneficial
