  • The Oil That Heals: A Physician's Successes With Castor Oil Treatments

    The Oil That Heals explores the therapeutic use of castor oil through the clinical experiences of a physician who successfully incorporated it into patient care. This book offers insight into castor oil treatments, their historical use, and their role in supporting healing and wellness.

  • Organic Cold Pressed Castor Oil

    This organic, cold pressed castor oil is carefully processed without heat or solvents to preserve its natural properties.

    Support lymphatic health, immunity, and wellness with Mary Ruth's alcohol-free Organic Lymphatic Support Herbal Blend. With Echinacea Root, Elder Berry, and Plantain Leaf, each drop helps naturally support lymphatic function and overall health.
