Castor oil, the name is undoubtedly connected with our childhood as the word reminds us how our mothers or other older people always referred to castor oil as a go-to solution for almost all problems. This miraculous oil has versatile qualities, such in fields of beauty, medicines, food preservation, lubrication and much more. This wonder oil is obtained from the seeds of castor tree which are pressed to get the juice. There are mainly two types of castor oil, the traditional cold pressed castor oil and Jamaican black castor oil. The traditional one has almost no color or a yellow color while the Jamaican one has a black color since it is obtained from roasting the castor beans. Often nicknamed as ‘Miracle Oil’ it is ingested with a bad smell, even it tastes very bad (though oral intake of castor oil has its benefits). Both types of castor oils are packed with vitamin E, proteins, minerals, fatty acids such as the ricinoleic acid (one of the 18 fatty acids). 90% of fatty acid content in castor oil is the triglyceride formed from ricinoleic acid which is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
