| Castor is one of the first medicinal plants known to man. Its seeds have been found in Egyptian tombs dating to 4000 B.C. and mentioned in papyrus scrolls thought to have been written around 1500 B.C..

Castor oil is an excellent hair tonic, and also used as a massage oil to remove aches and pains. |
