⚠️ Important Warning:
- Never eat or chew the seeds — they are highly poisonous.
- Only the extracted oil is used externally (on hair or skin), not for drinking.
🪔 Traditional Castor Oil Extraction Method
1. Collect the Seeds
- Choose mature, dry fruits (brown and dry, not green).
- Open them carefully and remove the seeds.
- Wear gloves to protect your hands.
2. Dry the Seeds
- Spread the seeds in a clean, sunny place for 2–3 days.
- Let them dry completely until they become hard.
3. Light Roasting (Optional)
- Place the seeds in a dry pan and heat gently for 3–5 minutes.
- Do not burn them — just warm enough to release the oil more easily.
4. Crush or Grind
- Let the seeds cool.
- Grind or crush them until they form a thick paste.
5. Heat the Paste
- Put the paste in a pot with a little water.
- Heat on very low flame and stir constantly.
- The oil will slowly rise to the surface.
- Continue until most of the oil is released.
6. Filter the Oil
- Once it cools down, filter the oil using a clean cloth or fine strainer.
- Store the oil in a clean, dark glass bottle.
🌿 How to Use (External Only)
- 🪮 For hair: Massage a small amount of oil into the scalp, leave for 30 minutes to 2 hours, then wash.
- 💅 For skin and nails: Use as a moisturizer and nail strengthener.
- 👁️ Avoid contact with eyes. Do not drink or swallow.
