I’ve been studying essential oils for a few years now and using them for many more. Despite some once-nasty toxic habits (which I’ve since rectified), I’ve always been a stickler for natural living, diligently seeking out natural solutions, especially for my children. A recent miracle made me investigate further, and I’m eager to share it with you.

I began noticing numerous stories about castor oil and its myriad potential benefits. While I didn’t dismiss them outright, I didn’t anticipate the profound impact it would have. As I started using it personally, its effectiveness only grew more impressive with each passing day. However, what truly compelled me to delve deeper was an incident involving our puppy.

She tore the skin off one of the little pads under her foot, leaving it red, inflamed, and visibly sore. She struggled to walk, hopping on three legs everywhere. We tried numerous remedies, including pharmaceutical ointments, which provided temporary relief. Unfortunately, she would invariably tear off the bandage and incessantly lick the wound, P2exacerbating the issue. It became a cause for concern as she continued ingesting these ointments.

Then, a stroke of luck: my daughter had some castor oil on hand. Deciding to give it a try, we were amazed at the results. Within just two days, the pad on her foot had dried out and begun healing remarkably. To our surprise, she also ceased licking the wound almost immediately. Whether it was the taste, texture, or simply the comfort provided by the oil, we couldn’t say. Within a mere two days, she stopped hopping and was bouncing around as if nothing had ever happened. Quite impressive, considering its initial appearance.

Let’s explore this miracle oil further. Some studies say to take the healing information on castor oil with a pinch of salt, however, the proof is in the pudding right?

Derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant, this pale yellow liquid isn’t just your average vegetable oil. Its chemical composition holds the secret to its miraculous abilities, with ricinoleic acid taking center stage.

Combined with targeted selections of essential oils, I’m expecting to experience more miracles.
