Tanay Ji, In Ayurveda Ricinus communis is very important drug
effective in Vata disorders. We can use leaves, Roots of this plant.
We called it as Erandmoola. Erand Taila or Castor oil is extracted
from the seeds. Seeds in higher dose may give poisonous effect.

Dr.Kadus Arvind,Pune.

There are plants with two different kinds of seeds: brown and large and black with white spots, seeds smaller. Any distinction in scientific names?
