Detailed Ingredient Information

• Pure Castor Oil (Eranda Taila): 100% pure oil extracted from castor seeds.

• Active Component: Contains high concentrations of Ricinoleic Acid, a fatty acid responsible for its anti-inflammatory and laxative effects.

• Vitamins: Rich in Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant for skin and hair protection.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Relieves Constipation: Acts as a stimulant laxative by increasing the movement of the intestines, typically inducing a bowel movement within 6–12 hours.

• Skin Hydration: Serves as a natural humectant, locking moisture into the skin to treat dryness and flakiness.

• Anti-inflammatory: When applied topically with heat, it helps reduce joint pain and swelling associated with arthritis.

• Hair Care: Helps lubricate the hair shaft, reducing breakage and soothing a dry, itchy scalp.

• Wound Healing: Supports the healing process by creating a moist environment and stimulating tissue growth.

Precautions

• Pregnancy Warning: Castor oil should never be consumed during pregnancy as it can induce labor or cause uterine contractions.

• Abdominal Pain: Do not use as a laxative if you are experiencing severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or symptoms of appendicitis.

• Short-term Use Only: It is not intended for long-term use (more than 7 days); chronic use can lead to dependency and electrolyte imbalance.

• Dosage: For internal use, follow the advice of a healthcare provider. Excess consumption can cause severe diarrhea, cramping, and dehydration.

• Patch Test: Before applying to the face or scalp, perform a patch test to check for allergic reactions or skin irritation.

• Interactions: Consult a doctor if you are taking diuretics or heart medications, as castor oil can lower potassium levels.
