Author of questionMom of a 8 yr 1 m old boy6 years agoA. Thanks for your response, it was really informative. I have used other oils too but I have found that castor oil is really effective to prevent cough and cold. I had this doubt whether it could have any harmful effect when used regularly for massage.
