We apply luke warm Caster Oil in wheat and Tuver Dal...

Wheat absorbs caster oil and it gives strength and smoothness to Intestine.

Croatia Branko Markovic: Do you cook with oil or just soak the wheat in it?

Zarana Doshi: We just put (Apply) luke warm caster oil once a year during storage ...Dry whole wheat  storage..

Not in cooking

Croatia Branko Markovic: Using in Nitya Virechan in Vata Ama or any neurological problems. In ama vata before sleep with fresh ginger tea for 2-3 weaks. Very good oil for improving wolumen of hair. Also very helpful as external applycation on any cyst or even tumor of breast etc. But it should be kept for 1,5 h warm on specific area.

Zarana Doshi: Caster oil we use to mix while making  Hair Oil at Home.  Benifits : Natural , Cool and To stop Greying of Hair.

Croatia Branko Markovic: Anyone using it in skin problems?

Zarana Doshi: I recommend to do massage with mix oils of Caster oil and Almond oil together for 5 yrs to 15 years Children for Healthy Skin.

Ayulink Ayurveda: There are two kinds of use of Castor oil: (1) Internal use and (2) External use

*Internal use : Most of the oils are used internally for nourishment. But as castor it more purgative, it is hardly used as nourishing. Another use of any oil as internal is Shamana - pacification...here castor is very useful. Many a times castor oil is the main ingrediend to fight against aama condition. To pacify the symptoms which aama has created are easily control and detoxifies with castor. In such condition castor oil can be used with ginger and fenugreek (for RA). In general castor can be given as internal use in many different way and with diff doses. Third purpose of castor oil as internal use can be shodhan, which is most known.

Externally castor leaves are boiled and placed on inflammation or swelling and they are very effective. Castor leaves can be applied externally for cuts on heel, cuts of skin, inflammation or swelling, as painkiller, for hair oil and many. Taste is not good, so patient does not prefer it.....we can use several different anupana for the same. Now in days castor oil is available in capsule form too, which is easy to take.

168: When i use a new bottle of castor oil, taste is not too bad. I think it may go bad quickly like in a few months. Possible that many products in store are already several months old when purchased.

Dr. Jyoti Ashok: Eranda is the drug of choice in gridrasi.

So sukumara grita( in which eranda taila is one of the ingredient) is v good when given in apana  kala.

Dr. Uday H. Hanagal: When its taste, smell is not  good, little    bit  older,Put Castoroil Container  below  the direct Sunrays  for 2 ,3 days Or Boil  it  for   8 to 10 minutes
