🧴 How to Make:

  1. In a small bowl, mix castor oil and baking soda until you get a smooth paste.

✅ For Hair & Scalp (Dandruff, Buildup, Hair Growth):

  • Massage gently into your scalp with fingertips.

  • Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  • Wash thoroughly with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo.

  • Use once a week for best results.

⚠️ Notes:

  • Always do a patch test first to ensure you don’t react—especially on the face.

  • Avoid using on broken or highly sensitive skin.

  • Don’t overuse baking soda, as its alkalinity may disrupt skin’s natural pH if applied too often.

❓ Q&A: Castor Oil + Baking Soda

Q1: Can I leave the mixture on overnight for better results?

A: No, it’s not recommended—especially with baking soda involved. Leaving it on too long can irritate or dry out the skin. Stick to the advised time: 10–15 minutes for skin, and 20–30 minutes for pain relief.

Q2: Is it safe to use on the face?

A: Yes, but with care. If you have sensitive or dry skin, use a weaker ratio (e.g., 1 tbsp castor oil to ¼ tsp baking soda). Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before full application.

 Final Thoughts:

This powerful yet simple remedy is great for natural skincare and body care. Used wisely, it can help support clear skin, pain relief, and a healthy scalp—all without synthetic chemicals.
