Doctor Debunks Castor Oil Belly Button Trend: Hype or Health Benefit?

Castor Oil Belly Button Trend: Hype or Health Benefit? A family doctor and TV health expert, Dr. Jen Caudle, recently addressed the popular trend of applying castor oil to the belly button for various health benefits. While acknowledging the historical use of similar techniques in traditional medicine, Dr. Caudle highlighted the lack of scientific evidence supporting these claims. "There's not a lot of evidence," she stated, "that castor oil in your belly button will do these things." This raises concerns about the spread of misinformation online. The FDA approves castor oil as a laxative, but its efficacy and safety when applied topically remain unproven. Dr. Caudle's video serves as a valuable resource for consumers seeking reliable information on health trends.
