Rheumatism: A poultice of castor seeds can be applied with beneficial results to gouty and rheumatic swellings.
Skin Disorders: A poultice of castor leaves is useful as an external application to boils and swellings. Coated with some bland oil such as coconut oil and heated, the hot leaves can be applied over guinea-worm sores to extract the worms. A poultice of castor seeds is also applied to scrofulous sores and boils due to tuberculosis of lymph nodes.
Problem of Breast Milk Secretion: Castor oil massaged over the breast after child-birth increases the flow of milk, as it stimulates the mammary glands.

Constipation: castor oil can safely be used round the year to administer purgatives.
Medicinal Uses
Castor oil is regarded as one of the best laxative and purgative preparations available. It is of particular benefit for children and pregnant women due to its mild action in easing constipation, colic and diarrhoea due to slow digestion. When applied externally, Castor oil eases cutaneous complaints such as ringworms, itch and leprosy. Castor is used for a range of industrial purposes from soap making to varnishes.
