In this video, we delve into the age-old remedy for constipation - castor oil. Castor oil, extracted from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis), has been used for centuries as a natural laxative and digestive aid. Its potent medicinal properties make it a popular choice for those seeking relief from occasional constipation.
Ricinus communis, the scientific name for the castor plant, is the source of castor oil. It has a strong smell and is a thick, yellowish liquid. Though its main use is as a laxative, castor oil has several other advantages for general health and well-being.
People have used this oil as a laxative for thousands of years, Researchers have shown that the primary fatty acid in castor oil, ricinoleic acid, connects to receptors on the smooth muscle cells in your intestines. Like other stimulant laxatives, ricinoleic acid induces the muscles in these areas to contract and push out stool after it connects to these receptors.
There is evidence that castor oil relieves constipation rapidly and effectively. Using castor oil alleviated constipation symptoms and decreased straining, according to a 2011 research Trusted Source of Older Adults with Chronic Constipation.
