What is castor oil and where does it come from?
Castor oil comes from the castor seed, which has a very unique chemical composition. The castor seed plant is native to India, 90 percent of its composition is ricinoleic acid. This unique fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil’s healing properties. It was used for medical reasons in Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, Persia, and then eventually in the 17th Century Europe and the Americas. |
