For thousands of years, castor oil has been used for just about everything, from relieving menstrual cramps, to easing childbirth. It's even been said to clear warts. Castor oil has been used to assist the healing of the body from ancient times throughout the world. It was used therapeutically in ancient India, China, Persia, Egypt, Africa, Greece, Rome, the Americas and 17th century Europe.

Castor oil was called the Palma Christ or the "Hand of Christ."  It is believed to be effective for many diverse types of pain, liver and gallbladder stimulation and cleansing/detox, digestive problems, lacerations, skin disorders like eczema or psoriasis and menopause symptoms. It's also used to boost the immune system and act as an emollient and skin softener.

Today, many health care practitioners are rediscovering the benefits of using real, therapeutic quality castor oil.  Castor oil is truly one of the earth's most versatile gifts - and it's so simple to use.
