Instructions:

Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of castor oil with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Stir until it forms a smooth paste.
Prepare the Area: If applying topically, clean the skin and pat it dry.
Apply the Paste:
- For skin issues: Apply the mixture to the affected area (e.g., small wounds, skin rashes, or irritation).
- For joint pain/inflammation: Rub the paste onto sore joints or muscles.
Cover: Use a cotton cloth, gauze, or bandage to cover the area where the mixture is applied, particularly if you want to leave it on overnight.
Leave it On: Let the paste sit for a few hours or overnight, depending on the condition being treated.
Rinse Off: Wash the area with warm water after removing the paste. You may notice smoother skin or relief in the treated area.

Reduce inflammation: Applying the paste to inflamed areas may help with pain and swelling.
Treat minor skin issues: Known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, baking soda can help with minor wounds, while castor oil keeps the skin hydrated.
Detoxification: Some believe this combination can assist with detoxifying the body when applied over certain areas like the liver.
Soothe insect bites: Reduces itching and irritation from bug bites or stings.
Combat fungal infections: May help with issues like athlete’s foot.
Relieve muscle or joint pain: Some use it to alleviate pain caused by arthritis or sore muscles.
Boost hair health: Applied to the scalp, castor oil can nourish hair roots, while baking soda cleanses.

Allergies: Perform a patch test on a small area before full use, as some people may have sensitivities to either castor oil or baking soda.
Medical advice: Always consult a doctor, especially for serious health conditions. Natural remedies should not replace professional medical treatment.
