Castor Oil for Your Face (Nature’s Botox)

Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast

Castor oil has been used for over 4,000 years! It’s been found in ancient Egyptian tombs and in Chinese and Indian medicine.

When shopping, look for an organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil packaged in a dark bottle.

Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which is not found in any other plant. It can help eliminate dark spots and wrinkles and is very hydrating for your skin. It can penetrate all three layers of your skin and can even dissolve lumps in some cases.

Castor oil benefits are best seen with consistent use. To see results, use castor oil three times per week for at least 30 days to 6 weeks.

Potential health benefits of castor oil include the following:

•Increases growth and thickness of eyelashes and brows

•Removes skin tags and warts with the help of iodine and garlic

•Boosts the immune system

•Helps dissolve tartar

•Reduces pain from arthritis

•Reduces liver congestion and increases bile flow Castor oil penetrates the skin, so you can use castor oil packs on the ovaries or breasts to help address cysts. DMSO can help castor oil penetrate the skin more deeply. Magnesium oil is also a helpful addition to castor oil.

Try dipping your face in an ice bath before applying castor oil. A 48 to 72-hour fast replaces dead cells with new cells and can have a multi-layer effect on your skin. A healthy diet is also essential!

Castor oil can improve stretch marks and scars and boost hair growth. Massage castor oil into your scalp to reduce dandruff and dry scalp. Jamaican black castor oil is the best option for your hair and scalp.

Massage castor oil into your feet to address inflammation systemically and use topically to reduce pain. Castor oil can cause early contractions during pregnancy, so use with caution.
