Place the castor oil bottle in hot water for a few minutes to slightly warm it.
Do not use the microwave, as overheating can damage the oil.
Mix with Turmeric or Ginger (Optional):
Combine the powder with the castor oil to create a paste.
Note: Turmeric can stain fabrics, so protect clothing and towels.
Apply to the Affected Joint:
Gently massage the oil or paste onto the painful joint using circular motions for 5–10 minutes.
Cover and Apply Heat:
Place a clean cloth or plastic wrap over the area.
Apply a heating pad or warm towel for 20–30 minutes to enhance absorption.
Leave On or Rinse Off:
For best results, leave the oil on overnight (cover with an old towel to prevent staining).
Alternatively, rinse after 1–2 hours with warm water.
Repeat for Relief:
Use this remedy 2–3 times per week or as needed for chronic pain relief.
Tips for Best Results
Always test a small patch of skin before full application to check for sensitivity.
Consistency is key—regular application enhances the anti-inflammatory benefits.
Combine with gentle stretching or light exercise to improve joint mobility.
Castor oil, combined with warming and natural anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and ginger, can be a safe, natural way to soothe joint pain and inflammation—no prescription needed.
