My father recently was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and while he is on medication and some therapy he does have some other ailments that he prefers to use natural remedies for. One of the things he has been doing is using castor oil for massages and stimulation of his muscles and reduction of inflammation.

Needless to say, using castor oil in my family and in my culture has been around for years so I wasn’t too surprised that it is part of his medicinal arsenal.

Recently I came across the idea of a Castor oil pack. I was intrigued because it seemed even more effective than just a massage here an there.
