Seeds, Roots leaves and flowers. All these parts of plant are used to cure a number of diseases. And if you talk about preparing Castor oil that is used to cure joint pains, the PART USED IS SEEDS.

Bacillinum 10 m is the cure for your daughter. Buy this from a homeopathic shop. Give her one dose once in a week. She can take this for 3 consecutive weeks. But, remember to give only one dose per week. Also, We would suggest not to try any experimentation physically. An eye is a very delicate organ. So, caution is always required.

Hello Ahmed. Try it this way:
Take a bowl of Castor seeds. Roast them. Grind them. Add them into boiling water.Boil for 3 hours. After boiling, strain it and leave the pulp. Now use the strained liquid and boil it again until it changes its colour to golden brown. This is the Casto oil.
