This age-old remedy — castor oil + baking soda — is creating buzz again for good reason. When used together, these two natural ingredients form a gentle yet powerful healing paste that supports joint comfort, skin repair, circulation, and detox.
🌿 Why It Works:
✅ Castor Oil
Rich in ricinoleic acid – deeply anti-inflammatory and healing
Stimulates lymphatic flow and blood circulation
Softens skin, relieves joint and muscle discomfort
✅ Baking Soda
Natural alkalizer – helps reduce acidity in tissues
Gently exfoliates and cleanses skin
Boosts the absorption of castor oil by opening pores
Together, they form a potent healing salve for external use — especially helpful for seniors dealing with stiff joints, dry skin, or poor circulation.
🧴 How to Use: Healing Paste for Joints, Skin & Circulation
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cold-pressed castor oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
Mix the two until you get a smooth paste.
Apply directly to:
Knees or joints for pain relief
Swollen legs or feet to reduce puffiness
Dry or cracked skin (heels, elbows)
Massage gently into the skin for a few minutes.
Cover with a warm cloth or towel for deeper absorption (optional).
Leave on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse (or leave overnight for deep healing).
Repeat 3–4 times a week for best results.
🌙 Bonus Use: Detox Castor Oil Pack
Apply the same paste to the abdomen, cover with a cloth, and place a warm compress for 30–45 minutes — this helps stimulate liver detox, digestion, and reduce inflammation.
⚠️ Caution:
Always do a patch test first.
Avoid on open wounds or irritated skin.
Not for internal use.
This simple homemade remedy is gentle, affordable, and incredibly effective — especially for those looking for natural ways to support joint comfort, skin health, and overall well-being. Once you try it, you’ll see why so many people are amazed by the results!
