The Remarkable Effects of Castor Oil When Used Before Bed
Castor oil, extracted from Ricinus communis seeds, is a natural product often used in skin and hair care. While it hydrates and soothes, some benefits lack scientific evidence.
### Benefits
1. **Skin Hydration**: Ricinoleic acid locks in moisture and reduces dryness but has limited evidence for reducing wrinkles.
2. **Hair Nourishment**: Conditions and strengthens hair, though claims of boosting growth are anecdotal.
3. **Relaxation**: Applying it to temples may promote calmness, though this effect is mostly psychological.
### How to Use Before Bed
– **Skin**: Apply a few drops to cleansed skin and massage.
– **Hair**: Warm the oil, massage into the scalp, and rinse in the morning.
– **Sore Areas**: Massage onto joints or muscles for soothing effects.
