This book intrigued me because castor oil is an ingredient in a brand of all-natural hair gel I frequently use. Prior to reading "The Castor Oil Handbook,” I thought perhaps it was a misnomer that the hair gel could be considered natural, since I thought castor oil was synthetic. This book proved me wrong.
A paragraph early on in this handbook reveals that castor oil is “derived from the seeds of the castor bean plant,” and that it is “a versatile vegetable oil with a long history of use.” Okay then. I always associated castor oil as being a dirty ingredient within STP for cars.
But indeed, castor oil is essential for vehicles as it acts as an engine lubricant to help prevent wear and tear. I’m glad to hear it’s not a dirty substance within engines.
The many amazing uses of castor oil are spelled out in this quick-to-read book, and I won’t list them all here. I will say that the author’s passion for this substance is infectious. However, beyond a few qualitative examples, there is not much here in the way of science to validate what the author claims. It would have been nice to hear about studies or at least have references at the end of the book.
That said, I’ll admit that this handbook converted me into (mostly) a believer of the benefits of castor oil, and I was glad to learn that my hair gel is in fact naturally derived.

Castor oil is like that versatile friend you always want in your corner. It’s not just for one thing – it’s like a superhero with multiple powers that can help you in so many ways. Castor oil can even help with digestion! Yup, you heard that right. A little sip of castor oil (not too much, mind you) can get things moving smoothly. It’s been used for centuries as a natural way to relieve constipation. Just be sure to follow the recommended dosage and talk to your doc if you have any concerns.
There are so many other ways castor oil can be your go-to remedy. From strengthening your nails and cuticles to soothing a dry, itchy scalp, it’s like having a power tool in your beauty cabinet. Plus, it’s natural, which means you know exactly what you’re putting on your body – no weird chemicals or additives.

I came across this book and thought it sounded interesting. The supposed health benefits are numerous and include skin, hair, eye, nail, muscular, and digestive. I was surprised at the number of ways castor oil can be beneficial. While this book was short, it did cover alot of ground. The author provides their personal anecdotes about how the application of castor oil helped their joint pain, which I found very interesting. It made me feel a little hopeful about potential applications for my own chronic pain.
Thankfully the author also includes helpful recipes for me to try out, which I will. I deducted a couple stars since this was more like a generalized introduction to Castor Oil. It was more on the simpler side, not as comprehensive as I might have expected.

Not as much instruction & info as I had hoped
I had hoped for a more in-depth instruction manual regarding all of the uses of caster oil.
For instance, when and how should you put it in your hair. Do you use a carrier oil or not? Can you put it on an open wound? Nothing is stated about needing to be stored in dark glass. Nothing about putting it on your skin for dryness. It mentions to not let it get in your eye, but then says to put drops of oil in your eye. There is also redundancy.
Glad I read it from the library instead of purchasing, as it would have been a disappointment. I could get what was written off the Internet.

Informative and thorough
If you are looking to learn more about Castor oil, its history and uses in health, beauty, and industry, this is a good introductory guide. It also contains instructions for growing and producing oil from your own Castor beans and recipes involving Castor oil. The only real weaknesses as far as I was concerned were a tendency for repetition in the text and a generally straightforward/bland approach to the material. Definitely informative though.

A Surprising Journey
What a surprising journey into a world I did not expect. I loved the completeness of book from the facts, to the science, then the uses and finally found myself in cultivation and DIY oil making. Really good, well done!

Loved this book. The author took the time to write about research done on castor oil and it was very useful for me to learn about how it can help with so many things. I have also started using it for menstrual cramps as she described and it has helped a lot.

Who Knew
A fascinating story about the many uses and benefits of that thick syrupy oil extracted from the castor seed that my mother would make me swallow every morning.

Castor oil has so many uses that I did not about before reading this great book. It was interesting to read the stories and to get to use a couple of the recipes.

The author provides information about where castor oil comes from, its uses, and how to grow your own. The ricin warning was a little unnerving, but that's good information to have if you are growing your own castor beans. There are also different recipes provided for joint, eye, skin, and other treatments. The recipes are pretty straightforward, easy to follow and use ingredients that should be easy to find in your local community. I liked the book and did expand my knowledge of castor oil remedies.
