  • Castor oil is great stuff, I really recommend it for recovery

    It has a wide variety of uses, for your muscles, joints, as a laxative, for your skin etc.

    I'd been having tightness/pain in my right pec and shoulder for the past year or so and nothing would get rid of it. I tried all sorts of massage tools, kinesiotape worked well but I couldn't keep it on 24/7.

    I remembered I'd previously used castor oil to get rid of a swollen lymph node in my jaw from an infection after dental surgery so decided to try it on my pec/shoulder.

    Normally you're supposed to use a heating pad but instead I just massaged it it into my pec shoulder.

    Did some light chest work 1st to get the blood flowing in the area, afterwards applied the oil and stretched/massaged the areas that hurt.

    Did this 2 hours before I went to bed to allow full recovery. Day after the tightness, pain, reduced by 90%. Did some more stretching, massaging with the oil into the area 3 times, 2 mins each, 2 days later my pec/shoulder feels like new.

    I've used it in the past for my pinched nerve but never really did much of anything. I still have to get massages on the affected shoulder to this day.

      Really, this is interesting for me as I use it for hair. Might have to try it for recovery.

          Hahahaha, I put it on before im training (pours open up so it sinks into the hair faster). It's apparently supposed to make your hair thicker - if I never used it I'd be completely bald I think!

            You don't have to tell me twice, I ran out and bought two bottles. Rubbing it in as we speak.
