We are becoming more and more aware of the power of traditional folk remedies, which have been used for centuries due to their efficacy.

The combination of castor oil and baking soda is another proof of it, as it offers numerous health benefits, and treats at least 24 common health issues.

Castor oil is often recommended by holistic medicine in the case of various health issues, even if conventional therapies have failed to deliver positive effects.

Castor oil has a powerful effect on circulation, due to which it is often used as a coating. You only need a plastic foil, cold pressed castor oil, towel, clean gauze, and a bottle of warm water.

Before application, make sure you clean the area with a solution of baking soda. Heat the oil, soak the gauze in it, and apply it on the affected area. Next, cover the place with foil, and place the bottle with hot water. Then, wrap with the towel and leave it to act for 1 hour. Lay down and try to relax.

Repeat this procedure on a daily basis for 40 days. Always heat the castor oil before use, and if it changes in color or has a strange smell, you should prepare a new coating.
