WHAT IS THE CASTOR BEAN

A PLANT MEDICINAL POWERFUL BUT AN EFFECTIVE UNKNOWN BY MOST PEOPLE

Ricinus communis

D escription: The family of Euphorbiaceae, also known as castor bean, palm-Christi, Tick-and castor. It is characterized by large leaves slaps and surrounded by thorns and fruits containing three seeds inside. It is a shrub or annual tree whose size reaches up to 3 feet tall, with erect stems and woody, thick, smooth and fistulos branches. The leaves are alternate, long petiolate, large, star-shaped with about 8 points, denticuladas, glabas with glands and stipules. The flowers are unisexual, coexisting of the two sexes in the same branch, and the men are below the female. They appear in large terminal clusters and erect. Are numerous, with small petals and pale in color. The fruit is a spiny capsule and containing up to 3 seeds, shaped like a half sphere flattened, smooth, shiny, light gray or dark tinted white and speckled black or brown 

Castor oil is obtained by cold extraction of the seeds that contain 45% to 50% oil. The oil is a mixture of triglycerides, which consists of 75% to 90%. This mixture is hydrolyzed by lipases in the duodenum, releasing ricinoléco acid, which has a cathartic effect. The material remaining after oil extraction is the castor bean, castor The phytotoxins and ricinine are present in the cake and oil. The castor oil is a glycoprotein of approximately 65,000 daltons molecular weight, a stream consisting of the neutral and acidic stream B, which estam disueto connected by links. The A chain inhibits protein synthesis, which causes cell death and B chain serves to bind the protein to the cell surface. The castor oil can be subdivided into which ricin D is highly toxic in acidic and basic castor castor. The ricinine is toxic alkaloid found in the seeds and leaves. Commercially, oils and pies are obtained by cold pressing or steam are treated to denature the toxins 

Parts Used: Oil seeds and flowers 

Planting: It reproduces by seeds, which should be planted in pairs on each grave at intervals of 1 meter for smaller. After six months of planting begins production, and we can get up to 3 crops a year

Origin: West Africa in Abyssinia and India .. It is naturalized in all tropical and subtropical regions, including Brazil 

History: The name "ricinus" is derived from the word meaning Itina insect because its seeds resemble in shape and markings some beetles. The plant has been used as an ornamental object from antiquity. The seeds of castor beans were also used as art objects and ornaments. Castor oil was already used by the Egyptians as lamp oil as ointment ingested and also mixed with beer as a purgative. The oil has a fast drying and non-yellow, and is therefore used in industry for dyeing fabrics in the manufacture of high quality lubricants and colorants and inks. The plant and oil have been used medicinally to an innumerable variety of diseases, but a real clinical benefit is rarely observed 

Way to save: The leaves should be dried in the sun, in well ventilated place away from insects. Save in cloth bags or paper. Castor oil extracted from the seed should be stored in tightly closed glass 

Planting: Multiplication: by seeds

Cultivation: It requires climate, prefer organic, deep and dry soils. Answers irrigation and organic fertilization. There are already several selected variable production capacity, developed in laboratories agronomic cultivars. The spacing is 2 meters between trees 

Harvest: Harvesting the seeds when the berries are ripening 

Properties: Vermifuge, purgative (internal use), emollient and healing (external use), cathartic, anticancer, analgesic 

Indications: Fighting intestinal parasites and externally is used to combat eczema, herpes, rashes, wounds, burns and baldness 

Active Ingredients: Alkaloids (ricinine), glycoprotein (ricin), riglicerídeos oil ricinolenic acid; phytotoxins, lipase, allergen complex 

Use in pregnancy and lactation: The use of castor in pregnant women can cause menstrual bleeding 

and miscarriage 

Toxicology: ingestion of chewed seeds cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and even bloody mucous diarrhea, in severe cases seizures, coma and death may occur. (15 seeds) 

Treatment: antispasmodics, antiemetics, antidiarrheal eventually. Early correction of electrolyte disturbances. Skin lesions: antiseptic solutions, analgesics, antihistamines. Severe cases: corticosteroids

Castor Fruit 

How to use: - leaves applied to boils; - seed extract castor oil that after purified in the laboratory is called the "castor oil": purgative, anthelmintic; - the castor oil is used in the manufacture of creams hair and skin treatments 

Henorróidas; anal fissure; put 5 tablespoons of chopped leaves in 1 liter of water to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and hold warm. Write baths morning and evening seat or just once a day, the spot massaging softly 

Regulating the intestine; take a laxative, fasting, 2 tablespoons of castor oil as a laxative and only 1 tablespoon, and then orange juice 

Defoliated and nail peeling, dry cuticle: mix 1 tablespoon of castor oil and 5 drops of lemon juice. Beat well until emulsified. Wash hands thoroughly, wipe and apl; ique evening the nails, massaging. Leave to act during a lotion week. Renewal and stimulates healthy nail growth 

Strengthen the hair is in a container, place 5 tablespoons of castor oil, 1 egg yolk and 2 tablespoons rum. Mix well. Apply to hair, massaging them. Leave the preparation work for 30 minutes and then wash the hair with warm water

Prevent Wrinkles: every morning, spend a wad in the face of cotton soaked in castor oil. Leave for 30 minutes and remove then with a warm tea made ​​with mauve flowers

Recipe for Homemade Bath Seat of Mammon Tea

Dosage: The seeds contain a lipase and an allergen complex designated CBA (English acronym for castorbean aliergen - the castor bean allergen), The castor is a glycoprotein of approximate molecular weight 65,000 daltons, consisting of a chain and a Neutral Current acid B, which are connected by disulfide bonds. The A chain inhibits protein synthesis, which causes cell death, and the current B serves to bind the protein to the cell supertície. The castor is a protoplasmic poison that is absorbed in just 30 seconds, so quickly inhibiting the elongation process of protein chains. This molecule binds to the cells and disrupts DNA synthesis and cellular metabolism of proteins causing cell death. Ingestion, inhalation or intravenous administration of castor result in a quick death; Castor is a commonly cultivated plant. The decorative use of the seeds increases the likelihood of toxicity, since the seeds are typically perforated, thereby breaking the outer coating and exposing the toxin. If the seeds are swallowed without chewing, poisoning is unlikely, since the impermeable seed coat remains intact, the minimum lethal dose (administered intraperitoneally) in rats is 0.028 mcg of crude castor per gram of rat weight. In humans, only one or two chewed seeds are lethal. Although the seeds are the most toxic, the leaves can also cause poisoning. Toxicity is characterized by the burning of the mouth and throat, severe stomach pain, blurred vision, kidney failure, uremia and death. The treatment is similar to that of phytotoxins and other poisonings generally consists of supportive therapy. Ricinine The toxin causes nausea, vomiting, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, liver and kidney damage, convulsions and death; One should emphasize that more recent analyzes of clinical data on cases of poisoning by castor (confirmed), suggest that ingestion of castor beans or always lead to severe toxicity. In one case, more than nine children swallowing the seeds and showed no sign of toxicity. In another more dramatic case, a woman with 38anos old ingested no less than 24 seeds that had been cut and chopped to ensure absorption. She was treated to induce vomiting and remained completely asymptomatic. Despite these most recent successful experiences, poisoning castor should always be treated as a serious medical emergency; study results in animals - the compound castor presents active in mice inoculated with L1210 leukemia cells. When administered by intraperitoneal route, its effect was superior to the compound 5-fluorouracH but smaller than eferto obtained with Adriamycin. The castor showed no effect when administered intravenously. In vitro studies showed that only 10 molecules castor connected to HeLa cells in culture are needed to cause cell death
