How to Use Castor Oil and Baking Soda for Eyesight & Full-Body Benefits

Castor oil and baking soda are two of the most respected natural remedies, each with a long history in holistic wellness. Used together, they offer a unique synergy for eye health, skin rejuvenation, and overall detoxification. Here’s how you can safely incorporate these into your self-care routine—with modern enhancements using the PEMF Healing App Skin Health and Anti-Aging Energetics.

What Are Castor Oil and Baking Soda Good For? (In Summary)

Eye Health: Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, supporting tear production, reducing eye irritation, and soothing dryness. Baking soda’s alkalinity supports gentle exfoliation and skin barrier balance.
Skin Rejuvenation: Both help reduce dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness around the eyes. The combo can brighten skin, minimize blemishes, and reduce redness.
Detox & Anti-Inflammatory: Topically, they may assist with lymphatic drainage and inflammation, supporting healthier, clearer skin.
Mild Antifungal & Antibacterial: Useful for skin irritations, fungal spots, and minor wounds.
Enhanced Absorption: Castor oil acts as a carrier, increasing penetration of beneficial compounds.

Castor Oil Benefits

Hydrates and nourishes skin: Rich in fatty acids (especially ricinoleic acid), castor oil deeply moisturizes dry or irritated skin.
Reduces puffiness and dark circles: Gently applied around the eyes, it can reduce swelling and lighten pigmentation.
Promotes eyelash and eyebrow growth: Used nightly, castor oil may strengthen and lengthen lashes and brows.
Soothes dry eyes (externally): Applied around the eye not in the eye—it helps lock in moisture and comfort dryness.
Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles: Regular use supports collagen and elastin for smoother skin.
Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm redness, irritation, and swelling.
Antimicrobial: Contains natural compounds that may reduce bacteria and fungi on the skin, helping minor wounds, acne, or rashes.
Aids wound healing: Can support skin recovery and lessen scarring when used on closed wounds.
Supports lymphatic drainage: Massaging castor oil onto the skin is believed to promote lymph flow and detoxification.
Reduces joint and muscle discomfort: Topical use in a warm compress (castor oil pack) can provide temporary relief for sore joints or muscles.

Baking Soda Benefits

Gentle exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, promoting a brighter and smoother complexion.
Balances skin pH: May help restore skin’s natural acidity, reducing irritation or redness.
Reduces blackheads and clogged pores: Baking soda can help draw out impurities from the skin.
Soothes itchy or irritated skin: Used in masks or baths, it may calm rashes, bug bites, and mild allergic reactions.
Deodorizes naturally: Neutralizes odors on the skin, making it a natural option for underarms or feet.
Antifungal and antibacterial: May reduce the risk of skin infections or fungal spots.

Combined Benefits of Castor Oil & Baking Soda

Brightens and rejuvenates skin around the eyes: The blend can reduce under-eye circles, puffiness, and signs of fatigue.
Improves skin tone and texture: Regular use supports a more even, glowing complexion.
Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation: May lighten sunspots, age spots, and scars over time.
Detoxifies: The mixture draws out toxins and supports lymphatic health.
Soothes and supports healing of minor skin issues: Can be used on blemishes, rough patches, and mild irritation.

For Eyes & Sensitive Areas

Hydrates and protects the delicate skin around the eyes.

Simple Recipe & Application:

For Eyes & Delicate Skin

What You Need:

Organic cold-pressed castor oil
Aluminum-free baking soda
Cotton swabs or pads

Step-by-Step Instructions (Weekly Protocol):

1. Nightly Eye Serum (Best for Eyelids and Under-Eye Area):

Mix 2–3 drops of castor oil with a pinch of baking soda (enough to slightly thicken the oil, not create a gritty paste).
Using a clean cotton swab, gently dab around the orbital bone, being careful not to get it into your eyes.
Leave on overnight. Rinse gently with warm water in the morning.

2. Deep Skin Mask (Weekly):

Combine 1 tsp castor oil with 1/4 tsp baking soda.
Apply as a thin mask to clean facial skin or areas of pigmentation/roughness.
Leave for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

3. For Eyelash & Brow Conditioning:

Apply a drop of castor oil (no baking soda) to lashes/brows nightly.

4. Optional: Add PEMF Therapy

After applying your castor oil-baking soda mix, run a Skin Health or Anti-Aging program from the PEMF Healing App.
For advanced use, run a 15–30 minute session with the iTorus coil, Vortex 6 mat, or the Sacred Frequency Imprinter placed near the treated area.

Weekly Schedule Example

Nightly: Apply under-eye/eyelid serum.
Twice a week: Use the deep skin mask.
Daily: Condition lashes and brows with pure castor oil.
3–5 times a week: Use PEMF Healing App Skin Health/Anti-Aging sessions.

What to Expect

1–2 Weeks: Skin may feel more hydrated, with reduced dryness and irritation. Some users report brighter under-eye skin and reduced puffiness.
3–4 Weeks: Possible improvement in skin smoothness, less visible fine lines, and healthier skin tone. Lashes and brows may appear fuller.
Ongoing: Regular use supports lasting rejuvenation and may help prevent further irritation or dryness.

Best Practices for Use Around the Eyes

Always use the smallest amount possible—do not let product enter the eye.
Patch-test on inner arm before first use.
For sensitive skin, use baking soda only 1–2 times per week.
