You surely have heard about the numerous health benefits of castor oil, which is one of the most effective natural treatments, especially in the case of various hair and skin conditions.
This oil is a rich source of proteins, minerals, and vitamin E, and has potent antifungal and antibacterial properties. Due to the high amounts of omega-9 fatty acids, it nourishes the follicles and the hair and stimulates the growth of your eyelashes, hair, and eyebrows.
Moreover, this natural miracle is also rich in triglycerides of unsaturated fats, due to which, this oil has a potent rejuvenating capacity. Additionally, it is known that the ricinoleic acid prevents and treats fungi, microbes, infections, and mildew.
It also provides strong anti-inflammatory properties, which help digestion, and prevent inflammations in the intestines.
Castor oil strengthens the hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, mostly due to the omega-9 fatty acids it contains. To stimulate your hair growth, you should just rub several drops in the scalp, and it will enter the pores and follicles.
According to Dr. David Williams, this oil can also help the lymph flow:
“There is no drug that can improve the flow of lymph, but the topical application of castor oil can achieve that”.
