Nitric oxide as a modulator of intestinal water and electrolyte transport. Dig Dis Sci. 1998 Aug;43(8):1605-20. Our castor oil is bottled in AMBER GLASS. We feel it is very important to use glass as castor oil is an excellent carrier oil, and bottling in plastic runs the risk of absorbing chemicals from the plastic that can then be carried into the body. We use amber glass to protect the oil from light degradation. Francis S, Rolls ET, Bowtell R, McGlone F, O’Doherty J, Browning A, Clare S, Smith E.

Fast forward a few thousand years and the Egyptians , who were aware of the Castor Bean’s toxicity , were using Castor Oil for pharmacological purposes as an abortifacient, a laxative, and a remedy for baldness 2 . Apparently, even Queen Cleopatra used Castor Oil on her skin, hair, and eyes to enhance her natural beauty.Polito L, Bortolotti M, Battelli MG, Calafato G, Bolognesi A.

A very common issue for many people is overpopulation of bad gut bugs, or as I call them, “conbiotics”. They are con artists that take up residency in your gut and steal space from the good guys known as “probiotics”. Liver detox May help balance inflammation in the liver area and optimize blood flow, supporting the detoxification process. If you deal with anxiety, sleep problems, or pre-existing thyroid problems, all tend to get more complicated as your hormones shift. On top of it, you may now have been diagnosed with a uterine fibroid. Kim H1, Oh S1, Gye MC1, Shin I1,2.

Our Castor Oil is mechanically extracted using an expeller press, a method that produces heat slightly higher than a true cold-pressing method. It even had a leading role in the Biblical story of Jonah who sat under a towering Castor Oil Plan t for shade . The plant must have held some huge cultural significance for it to remain in the story for over 2000 years. And in Unani Medicine (Arabic traditional medicine), Castor Oil was used orally as a purgative and topically for boils, lumbago, ringworm, asthma, and amenorrhea 1 , while on the Mediterranean coasts of Europe, Castor leaves and Castor leaf juice was used on the breasts of postpartum women to encourage lactation .

Castor Oil has a higher oxidative stability than most skin oils, and oxidizes at temperatures above 230°F. Cold-pressed Castor Oil is exposed to heat up to 122°F, where expeller-pressed Castor Oil is exposed to heat between 140-210°F. Ebers, G.
