Being very thick in consistency, it is valuable in the treatment of eczemas and psoriasis. Corns and callosities soften and gradually subside under the effect of this wonder oil. Some people also believe that castor oil has the ability to facilitate the expulsion of splinters that could have lodged into the skin.
