The oil contains a high concentration of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, stimulating, and hydrating qualities. Constipation cure The research isn’t exactly clear as to what happens once castor oil is absorbed transdermally. When castor oil is absorbed orally, a metabolic urine waste product, known as epoxy-dicarboxylic acid, is produced. With topical application, this product is not demonstrated to be outside of normal physiological ranges. Either castor oil is not absorbed topically, or the metabolism of its transdermal absorption is unknown. 22 In my opinion, it’s likely the latter. There are so many clinically reinforced benefits and patient reports that I personally cannot fathom the possibility of it not absorbing, but perhaps it is my bias. However, clinical practice for over a decade does teach you a thing or 2. Quality

The bean itself is poisonous, due to the lectin protein, ricin, which is used in both chemical and biological warfare. Ricin is toxic to humans because it attaches to the cell membrane of human erythrocytes, which contain specific protein receptors for the lectins of Ricinus communis. 12 Fortunately, the oil extracted from the bean is completely ricin-free and therefore non-toxic. 13 This is highly important to note, because much controversy surrounds the possible presence of the lectin in the oil, and some people assume that it is the lectin component that produces laxation via intoxication and poison!
