Doctors Warn About Social Media Castor Oil Trend

Castor Oil is having a moment thanks to TikTok. The oil, which is derived from the castor plant, has been touted for decades as a laxative and has now become the go-to cure for inflammation, body aches and wrinkles. Some have even claimed that rubbing it on your eyes will help with vision, floaters and glaucoma. But doctors are saying that putting the oil on your eyes can do more harm than good 

Eye doctors claim that there are no significant studies on the use of castor oil in or around the eyes so they can't recommend it. (NBC News)
