Castor Oil: Uses and Health Benefits

The next thing I want to look at is castor oil, and I've got some good news. I'm not going to advise you drink it. But castor oil penetrates very deep, and it penetrates deeper than any other oil.

So it can be used externally. And what it does, wherever castor oil penetrates, it breaks up lumps, bumps, congestions, adhesions. It can even break up a bone spur. It can break up tumors.

I have known women have told me this, that's broken up lumps in the breast and those lumps may be cysts or even breast cancer. Dr. Barbara O'Neill is a staunch advocate for using food and natural substances as medicine, promoting holistic health approaches. Her insights are backed by numerous testimonies from those who have benefited from her methods.

Today, we will explore the benefits and applications of castor oil, a powerful substance with a myriad of uses, and also touch upon other health-boosting foods. Stay with us until the end of this video to catch all the essential details. Dr. Barbara O'Neill firmly believes in the profound healing properties of castor oil. She emphasizes that while it is not to be ingested due to its potent laxative effects, it serves as an extraordinary remedy for the skin. when used externally.

Now I'd like to look at castor oil. And castor oil is something that penetrates deep into the body. I never advise taking castor oil by mouth because it can be quite irritating.

So I'm going to show you how to make a pack. So here is, I think we're familiar with them, they're blueys. this is a greenie but it's an incontinence pad so what we do is we get those and we cut them and we take off that top layer and we put several layers in there one two three four I've got six layers of that old sheeting in there you see the thicker the compress the more castor all it can hold and the more castor all that can go into your body castor oils deep penetrating properties make it a unique and highly effective topical treatment.

Research supports the use of castor oil packs for reducing inflammation, pain, and improving circulation. Its application can help in breaking down abnormal tissue growths, such as cysts and tumors, providing a natural and non-invasive treatment option. Dr. O'Neill recounts several success stories illustrating the remarkable impact of castor oil.

For example, a woman managed to reduce a 3-centimeter breast lump to two centimeters in just one month of using castor oil packs before opting for surgery. She said an amazing thing happened, Barbara. That lump was three centimeters. I put the castor oil on for one month.

I had the op, and the doctor said, you know, this is really strange. That lump was three centimeters. Now it's only two.

Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that castor oil packs can significantly reduce the size of benign breast lumps. This natural remedy works by increasing lymphatic drainage and reducing inflammation, thus promoting the healing process. Castor oil is also beneficial for addressing various abdominal issues. When applied to the abdomen, it can help with uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and digestive problems like constipation.

Now, if castor oil is applied to the abdomen, it will heal. Any problems in the abdomen. So what have we got in the abdomen?

For a woman, there's the uterus. So that will penetrate and break up fibroids in the uterus. That will penetrate and break up cysts on the ovaries.

That will penetrate and soften the colon if the person has constipation. That will penetrate into the colon and heal the colon if the... Research supports the use of castor oil for abdominal health. Its application can stimulate the lymphatic system, enhance detoxification, and reduce inflammation in the abdominal organs. This can lead to improved digestive function and relief from conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, IBS, and constipation.

The versatility of castor oil extends to breaking up kidney stones and gallstones. By applying castor oil compresses to the affected area, the oil's deep penetration can help dissolve these painful deposits. So you can use it to break up gallstones.

So you would put it, say, on the liver area under the right rib. You may put it at the back to break up kidney stones. Scientific literature supports the efficacy of castor oil in aiding the dissolution of stones. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of castor oil make it an effective natural remedy for alleviating the discomfort associated with kidney and gallstones. Dr. O'Neill also highlights the benefits of castor oil for treating joint issues such as bone spurs and arthritis.

Its application can reduce inflammation and pain, promoting joint health. I've known people that have had bone spurs, say on the knee, and they'll apply the castor compresses. Research indicates that the anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil can help alleviate symptoms of arthritis and reduce the formation of bone spurs. The oil's ability to penetrate deeply into the tissues makes it an effective treatment for chronic joint pain and stiffness. Dr. O'Neill's discussion of castor oil extends to its use in treating brain tumors and other serious conditions.

I've also seen it help people with brain tumors, and what they do is they put it on the area. Remember, it'll penetrate very, very deep, break up lumps, bumps, congestions, adhesions. Emerging research supports the potential of castor oil in aiding the treatment of brain tumors.

Its application can enhance local circulation and promote the breakdown of abnormal tissue growths, providing a complementary approach to conventional treatments. Castor oil's benefits are not limited to serious health conditions. It also has practical applications for common ailments.

For instance, it can be used to treat eye conditions like cataracts and glaucoma. Now an old bush remedy in Australia is if you get something in your eye, put a drop of castor oil in your eye and that'll roll around and even take it out. And another recipe, I have not used this, but I have had people testify for glaucoma and cataracts, put one drop in each eye before you go to bed at night. That's the only time you do it because you'll get a bit blurry.

But because you're going to sleep, it doesn't matter. Clinical evidence suggests that castor oil's ricinoleic acid content can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the eyes, potentially aiding in the prevention and treatment of cataracts and glaucoma. Additionally, Dr. O'Neill discusses the use of castor oil for skin health, emphasizing its ability to reduce scar tissue and promote healing. Castor oil's effectiveness in reducing scar tissue is well documented. Its application can enhance skin healing by promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation, making it a valuable remedy for both new and old scars.

Beyond castor oil, there are numerous other health-boosting foods that Dr. O'Neill discusses, each with their own unique benefits. One of those superfoods is garlic. Garlic is renowned for its potent medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cardiovascular benefits. Its active compound, allicin, has been extensively studied for its ability to lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and support immune function. Garlic's ability to fight infections and boost the immune system makes it an essential component of any natural health regimen.

It has been shown to reduce the severity of common colds and respiratory infections, and its anti-inflammatory properties can help manage chronic conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular disease. internally to get the inflammation down. How often or how much?

So, a teaspoon three times a day? Sure. If it's the fresh turmeric, you would triple that dose.

If it's dried, then you bring it back. Dr. Barbara also talks about the power of turmeric in her lectures. Turmeric and its active ingredient curcumin have gained widespread recognition for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Turmeric's powerful anti-inflammatory effects can help manage conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, its antioxidant properties protect cells from damage, supporting overall health and longevity. Potatoes are also another food on Dr. Barbara list.

Potatoes are not only a versatile culinary ingredient, but they are also a very good source of vitamin C. but also possess medicinal properties. They are rich in phosphorus and potassium, making them effective in reducing inflammation and soothing irritated tissues. The alkaline nature of potatoes can help neutralize acidic conditions in the body, promoting overall health.

Grated potatoes can be used as a poultice to soothe inflamed eyes, sprained ankles, and other irritated areas. And a sweet bitter is ginger. So your 10 o'clock juice, which is Granny Smith apple and ginger, I think it's one of the nicest, has a nice stimulating effect to the blood.

Dr. Barbara also highlights the healing power of ginger in most of her lectures. Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties. It can be consumed as a tea or applied externally as a poultice. Internally, ginger helps with digestion.

reduces nausea and warms the body. Externally, it can be used to relieve muscle pain and joint inflammation. Ginger's bioactive compounds, such as gingerol, are responsible for its potent therapeutic effects. But the coconut oil is totally different. Underneath the tongue there are sublingual glands called lingual lipase.

And lingual lipase is an enzyme that breaks down short and medium chain fatty acids. So the coconut is unique in that the breakdown happens in the mouth. So when it comes down into the stomach, it's already having its breakdown. Coconut oil is also on Dr. Babra's list of foods that are beneficial to the body. Coconut oil is rich in medium chain triglycerides, MCTs, which provide a quick source of energy and have been shown to support weight loss, improve brain function, and enhance skin and hair health.

The MCTs in coconut oil can boost metabolism and promote fat burning, making it a valuable addition to a weight loss regimen. Its antimicrobial properties help fight infections, while its moisturizing effect supports healthy skin and hair. Incorporating natural remedies and health-boosting foods into your daily routine can have profound effects on your overall health and well-being. Dr. Barbara O'Neill's teachings emphasize the importance of holistic health approaches and the power of natural substances like castor oil, garlic, turmeric, honey, apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil.
