What do people use castor oil for? Can it help your liver?

Question

I found out it CAN help your liver. Castor oil rubbed on the skin over your liver area a clothe then a heating pad. It helps the liver detox!

Answer 1

I don't know if it can help your liver... but everyone told me to take it when I was over due and waiting for my daughter to be born.

Answer 2

Its usually used to induce labor for pregnant women.

It also works as a laxative.

One way that I LOVE to use it:

Mix 3:1 ratio of castor oil to extra virgin olive oil mixture and heat for 5 seconds in the microwave.

Massage onto your face for a few minutes and then lay a piping hot washcloth on your face to steam.

You'll feel all of these little plugs coming out of your skin.

Then use the washcloth and warm water to wipe all of the oil and plugs off your face.

You'll have glowing smooth skin - its great to combat acne.

Answer 3

I don't know about the liver.  But people use it as a colon cleanse or a laxative.
