I went to a medical shop and bought it. there in that bottle it says it is for cathartic purpose. so can i use this oil for eye and eyebrows growth.

You should never use castor oil in eye .You are suffering from severe dryness causing burning & foreign body sensation, you will have to use lubricating eye drops 5-6 times for months (Systane ultra),I think it is all due to Jio effect because of free data people are overusing it,with regards

Castor oil or any oil for that purpose is not for eye use...our natural eye has an oily layer which is under influence of many factors including environment and hormones. Castor oil is used as a vehicle for some eye medicines but per se is not a remedy for dry eye by current scientific evidence.
Next Steps
pl consult ophthalmologist for the problem to find out what could be causing the problem
Health Tips
pl do not use anything else in the eye on your own..our eyes are beautifully designed!
