Benefits of Castor Oil For Skin and Nails

Do you guys know that you can use castor oil on your skin? The oil is good for nails and hands. I know because I've tried it! It will help in smoothing your hands and softens your cuticles. Easiest way is by applying castor oil to the nails and cuticles every night before going to bed. This, I believe, will surely soften the cuticles which are easy to remove. It will also protect nails from cracking.

When it comes to hand benefit, it can remove wrinkles in your hands if you apply it regularly. Because I am always wearing high heels, it can help in treating cracked heels too. This castor oil is an effective one to treat my problem. To get rid away of my cracked heels, I usually apply castor oil on the cracked foot every day until it will remove by itself. I apply it anytime, whenever I am vacant. If you're trying this, just make sure to relax or stay your foot at ease before applying so that the oil can absorb on the cracked.

Other than that, I believe I've heard that castor oil can remove wrinkles as well. I gave it to my mom as a gift and she was happy to know that their skin has improved. This is very effective to maintain your skin wrinkle-free and look young.

The steps are :

1. Apply a mild coat of castor oil in your face, most especially in your forehead and under your eyes, where facial lines are likely present. 
2. Apply the oil into your skin and massage it gently until it is totally absorbed. Just rub it gently to avoid extending or stretching your skin. 
3. If you are going to use it in your body, just leave for half an hour and wash it afterward. 
4.  If you are going to apply it in your face, you can do it before bedtime so that your skin has one whole night to penetrate the oil. 
5. Then, you can wash your face in the morning with warm water.

Castor oil packs are used for muscle pains, arthritis or rheumatism, itching, swelling, abdominal cramps, menstruation cramps, lymph circulation, liver detoxification, headaches, migraines, gallstones, urinary tract infection and lung diseases.

Those are only a few of the castor pack can do with the body. It goes deep within the body as heated, resulting into a natural cure of severe illnesses, relaxing the body, resulting blood circulation well, unclogs blockages, melting unwanted tumors or cancers and healing without surgeries in some cases.

Detoxification Using Castor Oil Pack 
There are huge number of healthy people who takes care of their bodies in eating, doing activities and regimens. Aside from regular exercises, healthy eating habits, the use of castor oil pack for detoxification is now a part of healthy regimen. They use it for liver detox. We all know that liver is an important organ in the body. It regulates blood circulation, stores body energy, regulate hormones, and detoxifier for fats entering in the body. It releases toxins and relaxes the liver as it restores energy while on castor oil pack. It levels blood sugar, hormonal balance, boosts immune system and offers better digestion.

It is done same as other castor oil pack as used. It is placed directly on the affected area, covered with plastic and heated with bottled hot water or heating pad seated above it to warmth the pack. It is done 45 to 60 minutes. The detoxification is done sometimes three times a week. Detoxifiers are refreshed and alive after the process they said.

Lung Detoxification
The lungs plays an important role in the body aside from the heart. When we suffer from colds or flu, the lungs tightens and getting weak. There are certain times that lungs' nerves and tissues looks or feels fine but internally in that tissue is an inflamed one. It causes bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, asthma or severe cases as COPD or lung cancer. What castor oil pack can do is the same as the other detoxification processes. Placing the pack at the back, where lungs are located. Ask someone to assist on this process. The position can be seated, or face the bed,couch or floor, of course with towel or plastic to avoid staining. Then put plastic at the back to cover the cloth, and place heating pad above it to create warmth. It relaxes the tissues as it releases toxins irritating the lungs. This is also for an hour and can be repeated 3 to 5 times a week safely.

Tumor Detoxification
Place the cloth with castor oil in the affected area,cover with plastic,warmth with hot bottled water overheating pad. Check if the hotness can be tolerated. Do it 3 to 5 times a week. There is a belief that these tumors are just excess fats grown in one place, or dirt or toxins. With the use of castor oil pack, it can diminish the toxins because it detoxify, it melts the dirt and can hep tumor subside. This is not in all cases. Have a check up, it is always recommended for safety and fast solution.

There are other cases that detoxification are not allowed due to health issues that may affect their cases or body status. Few health organizations conduct a castor oil pack detox for free in some places for knowledge and to apply at home for mild cases. They are warned in using it before anything else that is why it goes with a demo seminar.

Ancient beliefs in using the castor oil pack is very useful and beneficial until today. Practitioners even made it more easier to have, they are now sold in the market, packed and sealed. I believe castor oil packs are very handy and easy to use.
