our wonderful fellow curezonian , Grog, shared with me
that he uses castor oil on his feet.. to keep them soft.

i think that is a wonderful use!!

gals, use your imaginations

i think you could make a nice overnight lotion
for feet/ using castor oil in place of another
in one of the gel based (gycerine) boil/whip formulas.
and add a nice essential oil you personally like to it
(rememember just a few drops !!)

and rub into feet at night/ while relaxing
before bedtime 8)

extra thought.. add a nice sweetgrass oil
for the guy to use 8)
and his feet will smell sweet too !
also might add a umm thyme or sage oil to his.
(lol to keep down foot fungus stuff )
or tree tea oil, etc.
