Seniors: This Castor Oil + Baking Soda Trick Is Blowing Doctors’ Minds

by

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons castor oil (cold-pressed, hexane-free if possible)
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • Optional: a few drops of lavender essential oil (for a soothing scent)
  • Small bowl
  • Cotton pads or a clean cloth

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the castor oil and baking soda together until you get a smooth, thick paste.
  2. Add a few drops of lavender oil if you’d like extra relaxation benefits.
  3. Clean and dry the area where you want to apply the mixture (some people use this for dry skin patches, rough heels, or minor age spots — always test on a small area first).
  4. Apply the paste gently using a cotton pad or your fingers, massaging it in with circular motions.
  5. Leave it on for about 20–30 minutes. For deeper moisturizing, cover with a warm damp cloth.
  6. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.
  7. Repeat 2–3 times a week if desired.

✅ Tip: Always do a patch test first to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction. This is a folk remedy — it’s not a replacement for professional medical care.
