I have been using this product for over 2 months now and so far the results are great!

Skin- by washing your face and then putting a warm rag/cloth on your face for a few minutes and then gently rubbing a LITTLE bit of this Castor Oil all over your face.. it will definitely help to clear up acne. It is not a miracle worker, but if you give it time and don't use too much it will improve the look of your skin (hopefully) it did for me. I am on BC so my face is always breaking out because of the hormones, but I noticed with this it calmed it down and gave my skin a nice glow. BEWARE: since Castor oil promotes hair growth give your skin a break so you don't grow a beard or just use some hair removing stuff.

I also rub Castor oil on the bottom of my feet before going to bed. I have never used anything that made my feet this soft! It's amazing.

Hair- I heat a small amount of this up and then rub it through my hair trying to get to the roots and then put a shower cap on and let it sit for about 15 minutes before I take a shower and shampoo and condition like normal. It has made my hair extremely soft and shiny! I have not noticed much thickness in my hair because I have not been consistent and using it, but we shall see.

It has been great for eyebrows! I put a little on at night and sometimes during the day if I am not going anywhere. I have noticed it has helped to regrow some hair where it has been a little thin from over plucking/threading.

Overall great product! It has many uses the key is consistency and a little of it goes a LONG way!

What the MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR LOTION INDUSTRY does not want you know. THIS PRODUCT IS EXCELLENT, SUPER, AWESOME, GREAT FOR DRY SKIN!
It keeps your hands and skin soft and stays on all day. NEVER WILL I USE LOTION AGAIN!!

I tore my rotator cuff years ago, and the surgeon looked at the MRI and ordered three separate surgeries. I wanted a second opinion. I went to a sports medicine massage therapist, and she offered an alternative: Massage to put the muscles and ligaments in the right place, then a Castor Oil regimen to get the inflammation out of the shoulder so the body could heal it. I started with 10 degrees of motion, and finished two months later with 100% range of motion thanks to the Castor Oil twice a week and some simple 'dangle and swing' the arm exercises.

Since then, I've used it to get rid of bruises, sore muscles, stop my eyes from burning, heal almost any kind of skin problems, and after so many successes, I became an evangelist for Castor Oil. ONe of my friends came back to life from fighting intestinal lesions that he can now ignore thanks to abdominal hot packs with Castor Oil. I'm improving how much hair grows on top of my head using a 50-50 mix of Castor Oil and Witch-hazel (to thin it out a bit so it spreads easier), and it works. I play guitar, partly due to the supple hands provided by Castor Oil treatments wherein I put my hands in rubber gloves with Castor Oil, and then use heating pads, and my hands feel like those of a 20-year old, tho I'm nearly 60. It also reduces the three fingers I have with trigger finger.

I know that many people cook with castor Oil,. but I have not tried it, but I plan to. I'm confident that CO can help with things like eshophigal eruptions, heartburn, and on and on and on...

The name 'Palma de Christi' is probably a good one for this oil. Many attribute some of Jesus' healing miracles directly to castor oil, which was known well before Christ.

I bought it mostly for my hair and found myself using it on my skin. It is hard to apply to the skin because it is very thick but it is worth it because it leaves your skin very soft. It makes my hair very soft as well. Awesome stuff!

I used this product to induce my own labor and boy did it work. Most of the reviews on amazon for this product were for external use only, but if you are overdue with a baby, I highly recommend this stuff! I was 5 days overdue and drank 2oz castor oil, mixed with orange juice. It didn't taste nearly as bad as I had expected. 2 hours after drinking the oil/juice mix, my labor started, 5 hours after that, my beautiful, healthy baby was born. She was my first baby and i have a family history of long labors, so since I have no comparison, I give all credit to the oil.

When I first purchased this product I bought it in an 8oz. size and it lasted about 3-4 months with me using it for many purposes, so I decided to step up to the 32oz because of the value and utility I get from this product. As a way to keep in moisture right out of the shower (I added essential oils to make it smell good, although without a scent it doesn't smell bad, but I get noodle from it. lol) it makes my skin even softer and that softness lasts a really long time. I mix it with some coconut oil that I have and apply it to my legs after shaving, and this soothes them and makes them shiny. I also use it in my hair to seal in moisture/ bring in moisture, and it makes it soft and I feel like it has also made my hair thicker as well (I'm black and have natural hair, 4a-4b). I also apply it to my eyelashes and I think they have benefited (longer, more volume), I apply it to my eyebrows also to make them lay the way I want them to! I really enjoy this product.

Just on a whim, I used this on my dogs itchy dry skin, because I had given him a zymox bath a few days earlier. Although the bath helps with his allergy condition, it also causes already irritated skin to become dryer; since he is an indoor pet.
I only warmed the amount of oil I was using in a small shallow container. It doesn't take much. Massaging, and mostly concentrating on his hot spots; and boy did he love the massage. The immediate relief from scratching was unexpected. Moreover, the calming has lasted more than 8 days; and better yet the hair in those hot spots started to fill-in, and thicken within two days.

Follow-up: Jan 31, 2012...Since his first Palma oil massage, about 2.5 weeks ago, the constant red, and soar inflamation on my dogs belly from grass allergies has healed completely. He was diagnosed with skin sensativities @ 13 months old. Now he is 2.5 years young. Now his belly looks like a puppies belly instead of an old mans belly.

If your pet is proaned to licking, especially kitties; maybe place a neck funnel around the neck for at lest 5 hours; to give the oil a chance to penetrate the skin. Don't forget to wipe the excess oil off of the top of the coat. Therefore minimizing possible GI tract upset.

After the results my dog received on his coat. I decided to try it on my hair, because one day I used hairspray on my hair, then right after I used a flat iron.

No I don't normally use hairspray, and yes my hair did break off; a 6 inch length about 2 inches in width in the back of my head. After using the oil, I noticed a reduction of breakage in 2 days, and complete stopage of breaking in 4 days. Within 2 weeks all hair has grown back. No kidding!

I wonder if people experiencing balding of hair tried this super hair grow oil.

I had bunion surgery and had to wear a special shoe. My foot was very swollen and painful. For days I used Traumeel on my skin and bandaged my foot. I saw no results. I then started to soak cotton pads in castor oil and place them under my bandages. The results were immediate. The bruising and swelling went down tremendously. Within a few days I was able to put weight on the foot that was operated on. I had bunion surgery on my other foot 4 years ago and only used arnica and Traumeel on my skin. I recovered much slower and had to wear sometype of orthotic shoe for 3 months. I wish I thought about using castor oil back then.

First purchase of castor oil. I am using it on my hair (Caucasian), face and décolleté. Apparently it reduces wrinkles, scars and acne in addition to many other uses. I am excited to see if it helps the S. Dermatitis on my face (nothing says it will, but with myriad other uses, one can hope).

The oil is everything one would expect. The shipping was not. Item arrived via USPS. There was very little packing in the box which resulted in a broken cap. Some oil did leak into the box (inconsequential - absorbed by cardboard). Good thing I had a spare cap from a different product. Otherwise this item from this seller would get a 5 star rating.

The product is great. I used it for hot castor oil packs on my bladder and it worked. I had benign but transitional tumours inside my bladder and after applying the castor oil packs the tumours shrunk! This particular kind works the best.
