Castor Oil cured my insomnia and a Pterygium on my left eye. A pterigium is fatty deposit from wind/dust that affects one or both eyes. There is no pain, but it looks gross. I first got this while living in West Texas and was diagnosed by an Ophthalmologist. My doctor told me that it is not serious unless it starts growing towards the pupil and therefore, should be removed because it will affect my eye sight. My pterigium over the years was getting closer and closer to my pupil as the years have gone by. I knew that very soon I would have to have surgery to have it removed. I started the castor oil therapy about 2 weeks ago for my insomnia and just about 2 days ago I was looking in the mirror and look at my eyes and had to do a double take. The pterygium is almost gone! It is very thin and is not noticeable at all. I am so happy! I started using castor oil for insomnia and that was successful and at the same time cured my pterygium. Thank you so much. :D

Hi Lester! Just a thought, but I am eating lots of raw organic honey in the comb -with royal bee jelly- after hearing about a radiologist telling a man with severe corneal problems to, "Just eat as much raw honey with royal bee jelly as you can handle, " and that this very serious eye problem was soon healed completely.

I now have no floaters or fuzziness, and my vision is improving! You just chew the wax awhile, then spit it out, if eaten by the spoonfull. It has good stuff for you, and can be spread on warm toast with wax eaten too. You won't even notice, and it's lovely, really good. --T.

Hi All,

Currently, I have a pterygium in both eyes and just started treatment using the Castor Oil treatment. What I do is dip a Q-tip into the bottle of castor oil and put 1-2 drops directly onto the pterygium. I don't know if it's just in my head or not (since I am so eager to get rid of them), but I am already starting to notice the castor oil going to work. In one eye, the pterygium is beginning to fade a bit. I will keep you updated on the prognosis. Good luck! :)

Is there any particular brand of castor oil & how do I go about the application? I used it & noticed a bit swelling of my eye lids. Really wish it works fine!

I have growths in both my eyes. I was told it was because I have dry eyes related to contact lens use and too much screen time. I started using castor oil (aura cacia organic for skin, bought at whole foods) for dry eyes. I have seen many positive changes since doing this. My dry eye issues are gone and my pinguecula have reduced and lightened. I also noticed that my eyelashes are much much longer. A plus I'm sure most women would love. I simply put a drop of the oil on my clean finger and apply directly to the pinguecula every night before bed. It stings a little.

I have only been doing this for about two weeks and am eager to see if the pinguecula will disappear.

Also, in case anyone is concerned, castor oil is considered safe for the eye by webMD for dry eye. In fact, it is an active ingredient in many eye drops and eye cosmetics. The only danger is if you are allergic, so use common sense. If it burns too much or you get red itchy eyes, please stop.

Hallo stacy. Is dat Pinguecula da je hebt in de ogen of pterygium. Want Pinguecula is een geel gezwel in d oog met rode adertjes en pterygium is vleesachtig rood die groeit op u oog. Alstublieft laat me weten. Ik ben gewoon kapot van verdriet.

Google Translate:

Hello stacy Is that Pinguecula then you have in the eyes or pterygium. Because Pinguecula is a yellow swollen eye with red veins and pterygium is fleshy red that grows on your eye. Please let me know. I'm just broken by sadness.

I would discontinue the use of castor oil and get 100 percent pure chamomile tea. If you cannot find it pure go to the herb isle and purchase it loose and boil it with distilled water or bottled water only over the stove not microwaved. Bring to a boil then switch to low leave it on low for 5-10 min. Strain it out into a cup or bowl you can drink what you don't use. Let it cool to room temperature if you have an eye dropper you can use it, if not you can use a piece of paper towel wet it in your tea and drop it in your eyes I would do this maybe 2x per day morning and before bed for just 2 to 3 days tops. Then see if there is an improvement. Chamomile is an anti inflamitory and has anticeptic properties. It cures pink eye in one day in adults and children and is safe to use for almost any pet. You can use the liquid on your entire face too. If this does nothing to improve your situation you should try a fruit cleanse and or clean your bowels with psyllium and activated charcoal and bentonite clay your eyes might be telling you there is a problem elsewhere. Drink distilled water get rid of soda and eat more berries. Fruit is the only natural detoxifying food!
