Castor oil has been successful for treating skin treatments, detoxing the body, boosting the immune system, and more! It was once thought of as an old school remedy, but it is now making a comeback as a natural healer of everyday common ailments. 

Ricinoleic acid is the unsaturated fatty acid and active ingredient in castor oil that is responsible for its seemingly magical properties. Because it supports the body's lymphatic system, the immune response is strengthened, circulation improves, and even the occurrence of skin conditions decreases. It may be taken internally or used topically depending on the condition being treated.

If you're on the lookout for new ways to boost your health this year, consider adding castor oil to your routine! Here are five ways to get you fast on the path to a healthier and more vibrant life!
