Castor Oil for Burning Feet

In a bit of shock. Only one person on this site recommended castor oil so far, so I tried it on a whim. I'm not sure if I have neuropathy or gout but I have burning feet. The edge of the heel is the most painful part, more along the sides than in the back. Today my feet have been hurting for 6 hours because I wanted to avoid taking a Tylenol or other pill for it. I rubbed a small amount of castor oil and the pain and burning subsided within 10 minutes. I'm not sure how long this will last but I'm amazed.

Just another update. I did put the castor oil on a second time after about 3 hours when I felt the pain creeping back a little bit. The pain went away again and stayed away through the next day. The next night only one heel was hurting so I did the castor oil again, just once. It is now the 3rd night and I'm having no pain and I was on my feet for a good amount today.

Hoping that this information helps someone. God bless.

You might want to try adding 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper to the castor oil to help circulation & it brings warmth which helps absorption.
