Castor oil, known as "the hand of Christ" due to it's ability to pull out disease and toxins from the human body, is a divine multipurpose oil that has been used for thousands of years for cosmetic and medicinal purposes such as pain relief, detoxing, regularity, hair and skin care and so much more. 
 
Why Use the Emerald Organic Castor Oil:
Almost 90 percent of Castor's fatty acid content is a specific and rare compound called ricinoleic acid. Ricinoleic acid is not found in many other plants or substances, making the castor plant unique since it’s a concentrated source. Aside from its primary constituent, ricinoleic acid, castor oil also contains other beneficial salts and esters that mainly act as skin-conditioning agents.
 
Research has found that castor oil contains therapeutic components including fatty acids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, amino acids, terpenoids and phytosterols. The benefits are vast with both topical as well as internal use.

Castor oil is
Anti-diabetic
Anti-inflammatory
Antimicrobial
Antioxidant
Hepatoprotective (ability to prevent damage to the liver)
Free radical scavenging
Wound-healing and more!
 
For more information, Here is an etensive list of the healing benefits and uses of Castor Oil.
 
It is so miraculous that I have actually heard of a woman cancelling her double knee replacement after usind castor oil daily for a very short time! It's great for dissolving cysts, especially ovarian, as well as breaking up scarring and stretch marks. 
 
And did you know that there is a tick named a Castor tick for its resemblance in appearance to the castor bean? There is a theory in Herbalism called the Doctrine of Signatures which states that the Creator YHWH gave us clues in nature about what to reach for for our healing based on appearance. For instance-
 
A sliced walnut resembles the human brain, and we know that walnuts are filled with DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) which are SO GOOD for the brain!

St. John's Wort resembles the SUN-and studies have found that St. John's Wort helps our body's ability to fight depression. 
 
See how this works? I am very familiar with this scientific theory, and since I know what a GOOD GOOD FATHER we serve, I believe this is exactly what He has done for us. Therefore when I learned of the Castor tick I immediately started researching where it gots its name and did a happy dance when my suspicions were correct-it looks like a castor bean! Could it be that Castor is an antidote to LYME and other tick borne diseases? I can't prove it (yet) but if I were to come face to face with a tick, the first thing I would do is pray the prayer of faith with a daily anointing with Castor and the Emerald Lyme Warrior.
