Modern medicine’s desire to continue to focus on profits and suppressing the gifts of Mother Nature (coining it alternative medicine, when it was here before), prevents us from remembering that our ancestor’s cured their ailments with herbs, roots, bark and oils

Science and skepticism has replaced the need to go “back to traditional remedies” with false diagnoses, unnecessary consumption of potentially life altering (sometimes fatal) drugs, and needless side-effects! We would rather rush to the Doctor for medication, instead of remembering the valuable remedies that our parents and grandparents would use, then we wonder why our hair falls out, have excessively dry skin, look aged, have digestive problems, the list goes on.

Castor Oil is one such gift of Mother Nature that has been “disrespected” in favor of modern medicine for some very simple ailments as it just doesn’t generate those pharmaceutical profits! So, for those of you who didn’t know, Castor Oil has been revered for its powerful medicinal and curative effects for centuries by physicians and herbalists, alike. We incorporate the “Jamaican” way of processing the castor oil bean in each of the “Fountain” products; hence the spotlight on the “facts” as it concerns Jamaican Black Castor Oil.

Contrary to popular belief, Castor Oil is not indigenous to the Caribbean only, and it truly is quintessential “global complete medicine cabinet in a bottle”! Numerous cultures are also aware of its many benefits, and all have their own traditional uses, in addition to the more commonly known ones - purgative, rheumatism & arthritis relief, gout, etc.

SO WHAT IS JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL?

Castor oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant (ricinus communis) and the seeds produce a quarter of their weight in oil. The extracted oil is pale yellow and transparent when cold pressed. However, the traditional Jamaican method of extracting the oil involves roasting the beans, pulverizing them in a mortar. Water is then added to the “mashed “beans, before being slow boiled on a wood fire. The finished result is a pure, unadulterated, thick, pungent, dark brown oil, hence the term “Jamaican Black Castor Oil”.

SO HOW CAN CASTOR OIL HELP YOU?

Castor Oil, when applied topically to the skin, is able to penetrate deeper than any other essential plant oil. Castor Oil’s unique bio chemical make-up includes ricinoleic acid, an unusual fatty acid that can only be found in castor beans and ergot (a fungus). Ricinoleic acid inhibits the growth of many bacteria, viruses, molds and yeasts. Massaging either Fountain Pimento Oil or Fountain Real Black Black Jamaican Black Castor Oil into the skin can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, detoxify the body and boost both blood and lymphatic circulation as Castor Oil is an integral component of both products. Whatever your particular need is, a “Fountain” product containing Real Black Black Jamaican Castor oil can probably help, so read on! Don’t run to the Doctor if you don’t have to!
