Video transcript

To use castor oil for eczema, first clean the affected area with mild soap and water. Then, gently apply a thin layer of castor oil directly to the eczema patches. Leave the oil on the skin, and if desired, cover it with a bandage or gauze to lock in moisture. Repeat this process twice daily. Castor oil’s anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties can help soothe irritation and reduce dryness, promoting healthier skin.
