🧴🧂 How to Make the Castor Oil + Baking Soda Remedy: Step-by-Step
✅ Ingredients:
- Castor Oil (cold-pressed and organic is best)
- Baking Soda (aluminum-free, food-grade)
- A small bowl for mixing
- A clean cloth or gauze (optional, for compresses)
- A spoon or wooden spatula
🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions:
🥄 Step 1: Measure Your Ingredients
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to a small clean bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of castor oil to the baking soda.
(Ratio can be adjusted depending on how much you need. A 2:1 ratio of castor oil to baking soda works best.)
🔄 Step 2: Mix Thoroughly
- Stir the mixture using a spoon or spatula until it forms a smooth, paste-like consistency.
- Make sure there are no lumps of baking soda remaining.
✋ Step 3: Clean the Application Area
- Wash and dry the skin where you intend to apply the paste. This helps open pores and improves absorption.
💆♂️ Step 4: Apply the Mixture
- Use clean fingers or a cotton pad to gently apply the paste to the affected area (e.g., joints, age spots, scars, or dry skin).
- Massage in circular motions for a minute or two.
🧖 Step 5 (Optional): Use as a Compress
- For deeper healing (e.g., joint pain), cover the area with a cloth or gauze.
- You can even apply a hot water bottle over the cloth for 15–30 minutes to allow deeper penetration.
🕒 Step 6: Let It Sit
- Allow the mixture to sit for 20–30 minutes, or even overnight if treating stiff joints or pain.
- Rinse off gently with warm water and pat dry.
💡 How Often Should Seniors Use It?
- For skin issues or age spots: Apply 2–3 times a week.
- For joint pain or inflammation: Daily use is often recommended, especially in the evening.
- For detox compresses: Use 3–4 times a week for consistent results.
⚠️ Cautions & Tips:
- Always do a patch test before using the mixture over large areas.
- Avoid contact with eyes or open wounds.
- Not recommended for pregnant women without medical approval.
- Store the mixture in a clean jar in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
