Castor oil comes from the seeds of a plant grown in India in Asia, Brazil and some African countries. Oil is tasteless and very dense. Castor oil is used mainly for skin care and massage (diluted with another oil). Because it is very strong, castor oil should be used only in very small amounts. Because this oil can not be preserved for long, it must be purchased in small quantities. I discovered the castor oil benefits in high school and since then I use it every week.
