Castor Oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seed of the castor plant. The castor plant is indigenous of East Africa but can be found growing in warm tropical regions throughout the world.
The use of Castor Oil to relieve constipation can be traced back to Ancient Egyptian times. In America the use of Castor Oil dates back to the days of the pioneers. Traveling medicine men peddled a combination of Castor Oil with alcohol to treat everything from constipation to heartburn.
