While it is very good at what it does, you should keep in mind that it can cause diarrhea and thus, dehydration. If you do opt to take castor oil, you should take it no longer than once a day for seven days. Anything more than that could be dangerous.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has moisturizing properties<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because of the fatty acids in Castor oil, you can use it as a moisturizer. However, make sure that you don\u2019t use too much of it because you will cause the opposite effect and your skin will look super oily.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It can help wounds heal faster<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Castor oil can stimulate tissue growth and removes dryness as well as dead skin cells which can often cause your wounds to heal much slower. This is scientifically approved and many ointments and creams for wound healing contain castor oil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have irritated skin or even a sunburn, you should apply castor oil. Ricinoleic acid in castor oil has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and when it was tested topically, it showed quick reaction to pain and irritation. It can also reduce any swelling and helps with menstrual pain. If you have dry skin, you can use it to keep it moisturized and hydrated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has antibacterial properties<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Castor oil is one of the best natural remedies against acne because it has antibacterial properties and stops bacteria that causes acne from growing. You can also use it against bacteria and fungus on your scalp, if you have these issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can use castor oil on the scalp as a way to prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth. Since it has great antibacterial and antifungal properties, castor oil can help you with dandruff<\/a>, scalp infections and many other hair diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ricinoleic acid also helps with hair growth, balance the pH levels and undo the damage done by the chemicals or no-shampoo regimens. It makes the hair strong, thick and shiny while reducing the frizziness.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are also testimonials – hundreds of them – saying that castor oil actually improved their hair growth by 3 to 5 times the normal rate<\/strong>. While nothing has been scientifically approved, people who have used castor oil have managed to grow hair much faster than previously. It even helped people who have went through hair loss.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When considering using castor oil for hair, you should look at all of your options. To make your own treatment at home, you should use castor oil and mix it with another oil that has confirmed benefits for the hair.<\/strong> Castor oil is really thick and you can\u2019t really spread it nicely over your scalp like you could with warm coconut oil or olive oil. Warming up does help a little but not completely.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another option is to use Jamaican black castor oil<\/strong> which has great reviews online. Some say it works the same way and provides the same results but some say it works better. It\u2019s up to you to test it and see what works best for you.<\/p>\nWhat is castor oil used for?<\/h2>\n
