Castor Oil
This oil which is thick & sticky is crushed from the seeds of the
Aamanakku plant. It is extremely cooling and is applied to the eyes, on
the head & soles of the feet, soaked and washed off. It effectively
brings down the excessive body heat.
Application of castor oil to insect bites & rashes has been found to
have a curative effect. A small volume of very pure castor oil taken
with hot water once a month, helps in clearing the stomach.
Castor Oil is also used in preparing pure kajal (eye liner).
