I have no respect for the medical profession any longer and I definitely have no respect for the FDA, if they approve something, I don't want it! Thank you for the vid on Castor Oil, I think a lot of people that watch you came to the health food store that I work at, because we are selling Castor Oil, like crazy!

I am 61 yrs old and have been having severe hip and leg pain due to a quad accident in the early 2000s.
The pain was mostly at night. It would get so bad that it would wake me up at night. Several months ago I had a dream that I was standing in front of a castor tree and this beautiful man was telling me the benefits of the oil that comes out of the castor bean. He said it will take my pain away. I said let me try it. So I took a bean and chewed it into a paste and put it on my hip. It immediately took the pain away.
I woke up that morning and thought that was an interesting dream. I also thought I would dig out my bottle of castor oil and try it. That night I rubbed it on my hip and leg and NO PAIN! I now use it for everything. It truly is a miracle oil. I thank God for that dream. Castor oil has been a life changer for me. 🙏❤

Edit** Do not chew castor beans. They are extremely toxic**

If there was a study, it would never be available to the public. It would be so far hidden in the algorithm that you could not find it, because it is not owned by the pharmaceutical industry.

Acne prone skin, melasma, 50 year old skin, some acne scarring, dry feeling skin. Started using castor oil 3 weeks ago. Mixing it with Rosehip oil. Skin already 80% improved. I’m so excited to keep on using it.

Trained massage therapist here. Regarding your facial lymphatic drainage. To optimize results, first start where your shoulder meets your torso and wipe towards the arm pit (that is a lymph dump point). You want to gradually work from the lymph dump point back to the top of your face and head, including behind the ears. Smaller, very light strokes. Using an oil is good because it will help keep the strokes light. **Light strokes because your lymph system is just below the dermis, if you apply too much pressure you're not working the lymph system.**

Think of it as trying to push toothpaste out of a tube that is blocked at the opening. Clear the opening (arm pit) and the path to the opening as you work back to the areas furthest from the lymph dump point. Your method is moving it out of the face temporarily, but you're not moving it all the way out of you head/neck area. Hope that helps.

I started just a few weeks ago using castor oil all over my face and neck before bed. It's REALLY, pretty much immediately, lightened some annoying age spots and made my large pores reduced. Also, had a pretty large syst right at my hairline (it has been there for years!) and it's like 75% smaller in just a few weeks! It's a miracle for sure!

CASTOR OIL MIXED W BAKING SODA as a paste removed my pre cancer on my nose in 4 days. Put on at nite and cover w a band aide. Also removed a plantars wart. This combo is next level. Also my eyebrows improved and the texture of my skin has changed and less crepe skin.

Been taking off my makeup with castor oil for the last month and my eyelashes-which were sparse before-are so long, thick, and lush now.

[nelliesfarm]

Just found your channel. I must say that i love your bluntness and honesty!!!! Ill be 54 next month ...never had botox or anything...i have simply just put high quality olive oil on my face every day for the last 10 years. I learned about it from sophia loren! About the lack of research able to be found on many things, big pharma and other potential competitors work hard to keep that info at bay! Sometimes the best products are the old fashioned, simple, cheap ones...castor oil being one of the best!❤❤

Castor oil pack on the tummy for liver damage is POWERFUL.

[rinirodriguez]

OMG! I have had very dry skin on the bottom of my left foot that no cream or lotion has helped EXCEPT for Castor oil. It truly works!

[ChiefOkima]

Happy Birthday 🎉. Imo...you'll not find "proof " or research that it works because it would shut down the whole " there's no cure" narrative. So take the word of people who actually experience the changes.

I’ve been using castor oil on my eyes for months, including on eyebrows and lashes, and my over-plucked 90s eyebrows are filling in really nicely! My lashes have always been long but sparse. They’re definitely more voluminous now - more lash hairs overall. I now use it on my face and neck at night instead of expensive night creams and my skin is so clear and smooth [I’m turning 50 in a few weeks]. I’ve used it on old stretch marks and it really smoothes the skin. It hasn’t “erased” them, but the skin feels even and doesn’t feel thin and sensitive like it used to. I also take one drop and massage it into my hairline and now I have a ton of baby hairs growing in. I only do that once or twice a week the night before I know I’m going to wash it. I have some moles on my legs I’m going to try it on next to see if castor oil will reduce the appearance of them. I love it. 😊

The castor oil pack on your abdomen isn’t about fat loss on the midsection. They’re putting it over their liver, to help support the liver to process all the junk it needs to process. It’s been incredibly helpful in giving my liver a helping hand.

Castor Oil has amazing benefits.. The Queen of Thrones brand is no longer Cold pressed.. The label says expeller pressed.. The one I use is the Heritage Store Organic, cold press, hexane free.. Very important to read labels!!

[RundownwithRachel]

Too cool to see myself featured on your video! Although I’ve never seen a claim that it helps reduce body fat, the castor oil packs are believed to help with lymphatic drainage! I notice a BIG difference with castor oil packs. Not just with debloating but helping me sleep! To your point, no studies to support it and everyone must be careful! It’s powerful!!!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Every time I watch your content I am refreshed by your energy! You remind me how important that is ❤️

Cold pressed in a dark colored bottle. Gya Labs Castor Oil. I use it on my joints. Elbows and knees and on my neck over my thyroid, and on my eyes. Use it for breakouts/scratchs etc. Healing time is much quicker.

[kellyP.]

I had a couple moles forming on my leg I read that castor oil could remove them . I applied the oil to the moles and covered with a bandaid over night . After a few treatments the moles disappeared . My husband used on skin tags …gone. I have used on my lashes and brows and general skin for about 20 years it’s incredible as a natural Botox . I’m now experimenting with using it for lymp drainage and castor oil packs . Too soon to report. Great video! ❤

[angelaventura]

You're so cute when you mentioned botox... I love how you said, " Go ahead and hate, I don't care...I love me some botox!" That comment alone made me trust everything else you had to say. Thank you for this and your other videos and for sharing your beauty secrets with the rest of us rather than gate keeping them!! I love your mannerisms...makes me feel like I'm talking to a friend who keeps it real!

[Bamacrimsoncottage]

Thanks for the breakdown! I LOVE my castor oil! I use it on my face, in my navel, in my eyes, i mix it with cayenne pepper for achy joints. (I swear my arthritic thumb joint is shrinking! ) i use a pack over my liver, I do teeth oil pulling… you name it! I use Heritage store organic brand because it’s Cold pressed which is also very important. Unfortunately Queen of thrones is not cold pressed. Thanks Chalene! Love your channel and how you give a shout out to the creator of the universe and all things in it! 😊👍🏻
