Studies on Castor Oil Part III

Transdermal Absorption of Castor Oil

With the current high level of interest in patches to deliver drugs across the skin, the concept of external applications for delivery of medicinal substances is becoming widely accepted. This study evaluated the potential for transdermal absorption of castor oil, a treatment modality recommended by Edgar Cayce. Specific epoxydicarboxylic acids are known to be excreted via the urine when castor...

Studies of Ringworm. Part III. Prophylactic Measures

J-N the tropics ringworm infection of the body is not only common but difficult to avoid afld more difficult to cure. In any skin outpatient department the number of cases of der^atomycosis is quite large. In Calcutta, 20 Per cent of the total number of patients with skin disease come for the treatment of ringworm infection, i.e. about 2,000 new cases every year. To this may be added quite an A...

Nonlinear optical properties of castor oil

We report on the investigation of the nonlinear optical properties of castor oil using the Z-scan technique. Nonlinear refraction and absorption measurements were performed for two different laser wavelengths, 514 and 810 nm, in the CW regime, and for 810 nm in femtosecond regime. The CW results showed that castor oil has a large negative nonlinear refractive index n2 = -3.2 x 10 cm/W for the l...
