I Dear Dr. Gott: I read your column in my local newspaper regarding the use of castor oil for degenerative disc disease. I have osteoporosis, constant back pain and have had back surgery. Nothing seems to help. I would like to know how much castor oil to take at a time, and how to use it. Dear Reader: Castor oil is a potent laxative when swallowed. When used to reduce the pain of arthritis, the product is applied to the skin over the painful joint and is rubbed in well once or twice a day. I should remind you that topical castor oil is not effective for some patients, but its worth a try. In my experience, the most suc- cessful product is called Castiva, available in either a warming or cooling form. It has been available at Walgreens and is now also available at CVS pharmacies |
