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:

  1. Mix the two until you get a smooth paste.
  2. Apply directly to:
    • Knees or joints for pain relief
    • Swollen legs or feet to reduce puffiness
    • Dry or cracked skin (heels, elbows)
  3. Massage gently into the skin for a few minutes.
  4. Cover with a warm cloth or towel for deeper absorption (optional).
  5. 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!
