Answer 2

Castor oil is a drug that does not belong to the volatile oil class.

• Volatile oils are odorous volatile principles of plant and animal sources.
• These oils evaporate at room temperature.
• Hence known as volatile or ethereal oils.
• These represent the essence of the plant's active constituents, also known as essential oils.
• Most of the time, the volatile oil preexists in the plant and is usually contained in some particular secretory tissues.
• Examples:  the oil ducts of umbelliferous fruits, the oil cells, or oil glands occurring in the sub-epidermal tissue of the lemon and orange, mesophyll of eucalyptus leaves, trichomes of several plants, etc.
• Castor oil is used to treat constipation. It may also be used to clean out the intestines before a bowel examination/surgery. Castor oil is known as a stimulant laxative.
