People have learned that they can use it to preserve oral health, health of their skin and hair, as well as for managing cramps, menstrual disorders, and many more health-related issues.
Castor oil boasts remarkable effects on circulation, making it a popular choice for topical applications. For this procedure, gather plastic foil, cold-pressed castor oil, a towel, clean gauze, and a bottle of warm water.
