According to Ayurveda, castor oil has flavours that are sweet, sour, and astringent. As soon as it is applied externally, the body cools. While the astringent and pungent qualities cleanse the body of salts and toxins, the sweetness provides nourishment. The cooling quality helps to lessen skin irritants like prickly heat and pita.
