Among the most successful applications for the &#8220;castor oil&#8221; include:<\/p>\n<p>1. Pain<\/p>\n<p>2. Inflammation<\/p>\n<p>3. Gases<\/p>\n<p>4. Constipation<\/p>\n<p>5. Detox<\/p>\n<p>6. fibrocystic breast disease<\/p>\n<p>7. Skin Tonic<\/p>\n<p>The active component of castor oil is ricinoleic acid having properties similar to capsaicin. In addition, it supports the immune system by increasing T cells (body defense) and other defense cells of our body. It reduces the proliferation of bacteria, viruses and fungi in our system, making it a useful tool in the management of infections. In my experience, castor oil has been used successfully to manage menstrual cramps and the well known &#8220;PMS&#8221;. By combining castor oil with\u00a0other anti-inflammatory herbs to be used\u00a0topically, we cause a comforting effect on those difficult days for most women.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It is important to point out that\u00a0castor oil can be harmful to your health when used incorrectly.<\/span> For this reason, its use should be supervised by your doctor or health care professional, trained in this area.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about this natural therapy, please contact our clinic, Integrative Optimal Health of Puerto Rico at (787) 722-0412 \/ (787) 238-9950 for an appointment for a complete evaluation of your health.<\/p>\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n<p>Born, T.
