Narendra Modi – an ardent follower of Ayurveda
Being a staunch follower of Ayurveda, Shri Narendra Modi has always spoken his heart on this subject. So, when Akshay Kumar brought up the same question, Modiji replied in his own charm.
From revering mustard oil as the cure of cold to preaching castor oil for sunburns, he shed lights on his secrets of healthy living. It was in 38.58 minutes, that Narendra Modi shared his testimonial for the efficacy of castor oil for sunburns.
Narrating an old story he reminisced about his visit to Kailash Manas Sarovar which is at a very high altitude. The summer sun and the scorching heat take a toll on the skin with sunburns, blisters and irritation.
At high altitudes, the exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light is three times more than at ground level. The rays can easily pierce through the skin because of the reduced layer of atmosphere and water vapour. In fact, research says for every 1,000 feet of elevation, the sun’s UV rays intensify by 8-10 per cent.
In such harsh conditions, tanning, acute and chronic sunburn, severely dry skin, crack, itching and scaly skin, sloughing skin, blisters etc are very common. The condition is so intense that even many of the elite sunscreens and skin protectors fail to battle the mighty Sun.
While many felt their face falling off with every wash, Modi ji stayed cool and calm in complete control of the situation; his secret – Castor Oil. He washed his face with warm water and applied a few drops of Castor Oil as his preventive shield against sunburn and this simple indigenous hack worked better than any chemically synthesized Sunscreen.
As said by the P.M himself, the people from the queue would flock around Modi ji to get a few drops of the magic potion that could save them from becoming roasted tandoori. Castor oil worked its magic in protecting as well as soothing sunburns.
Castor oil also works well in healing sunburn immediately. Just rub the oil directly on the area of burn and its cooling, soothing sensation brings instant relief. Also, the ricinoleic acid present in castor oil prevents blisters and reduces inflammation.
Enjoy the interview and take health tips from the P.M. himself. And don’t forget to try castor oil for summer bliss!

Good to know about the various uses of castor oil. And it’s interesting to see how keenly you’ve observed the points in his speech.
Thank you Dr. for the bright suggestion..!
Yes, our PM is the great admire of Ayurveda and our Indian culture. Despite of his hectice works and travel; how could he be so vibrant and energetic? It is a million dollar question..!
We Bengalurians don’t know how sunburn can cause great problems. In Chennai we could see many people collapse in middle their walking on the roads!!! May God save the homeless people 😥
The article is a good case study of castor oil; it reveals many advantages. It is a day today activity in our villages that our grand mothers used to teach us how to use castor oil, especially in summer season..!
