Castor works well as a toenail fungus treatment. For the same reason it helps fight acne, castor oil can get rid of persistent fungal infections, moles and cysts. Traditionally, the method used was to apply a small amount of castor oil with a pinch of baking soda to the infected area.
However, our concern here is with castor oilâs medicinal properties benefitting the skin. The acid in castor oil can irritate the wart causing virus and works best on small, flat warts. Application can be administered with a medicine dropper to drop the castor oil onto the wart or by rubbing the oil on the affected area. It is advised to cover the wart with a bandage to keep the oil concentrated in the infected region to maximize its effectiveness. It is believed that the castor oil softens the wart and encourages it to shrink. Castor oil may also be mixed with baking soda to make a soft paste and applied to the affected area.
