Castor Oil Helped Prevent Knee Surgery
Castor Oil is a life-saver for joints, especially knees.
A few years ago, my husband hurt/twisted his knee while getting in and out of a huge truck. The pain only increased as time went by, so we went to urgent care. After x-rays, etc., my husband was told that it really required surgery to repair and fix his knee, which was NOT in our budget at the time. What to do?
We had already heard about using castor oil on joints from a couple of doctors (M.D.) with knowledge in natural remedies, also.
According to instructions, I massaged castor oil into his whole knee area; then I wrapped the whole area with an old cloth (that I would continue to keep stored/sealed in a zippy-bag, for re-use) and with saran-type-wrap, because castor oil is both oily and staining–it will not wash out. After that, we put a heating pad on the area (SET ON LOW heat) for an hour. We kept the wrappings on his knee over night.
I had to beg my husband to let me apply the castor oil and wrappings on the first night. The second night, he reminded me to fix up his knee again. Night number three, he did it himself, on his own. He woke up the next morning, with his knee feeling great.
If/when he or I ever hurt any joint, both of us know to rub with the castor oil, wrap with a cloth, cover for a while, and get relief. Heat does not have to be applied, but it helps.
There is nothing like castor oil for knees and joints. It’s messy, but who cares, if it helps prevent or STOP the need for surgery and if it stops pain? more

vanakkam, my felicitations for the recovery of good health and for the information. we people, in olden days, were using castor oil by applying over such pain or boils etc, and wrapping with betel leaves or a leaf called 'andhi mantharai leaf' (MIRABILIS JALAPA) over night. I myself have experienced the treatment by 45 years ago. Now a days those home remedy practices have gone out due to the ornamental words of ads by money making companies. Let us try to bring back such no cost useful home remedies. more

It's great to learn your experience, Dr. Gosain. Doctors telling such easy methods is highly appreciated in this commercial age. more
