Ricinus communis, the castor bean or castor oil plant, is a species of perennial flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus, Ricinus, and subtribe, Ricininae. Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. ... It is a colourless or pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and oil is most commonly used as a laxative. But castor oil's natural antiviral and antimicrobial properties make it a popular treatment for skin problems known as dermatosis as well as fungal infections. It's also used for hair growth.
