What makes castor oil so unique? Well, it is the only plant oil with a fatty acid content consisting of ricinoleic acid with a long carbon chain with no unsaturated fatty acid which gives the oil a long shelf life. "Ricinoleic acid is effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. It's successful as a topical treatment for ringworm, keratosis, skin inflammation, abrasions, fungal-infected finger- and toenails, acne, and chronic pruritus (itching). Generally, for these conditions the affected area is wrapped each night in a castor oil-soaked cloth." . The unique properties of castor oil makes it ideal in helping treat eczema although it has to be said that a rich diet of flaxseed (linseed) also helps. . Haitian black castor oil is great in promoting healthy hair. It can be applied with an old toothbrush on your hair line to help combat thin edges and also help thicken eyebrows/eyelashes. A great oil to seal in moisture when applied to the hair. . .
