Castor oil remedy for constipation

Method

  • Castor oil is available at drugstores. Take as directed.

Why agent works

Castor oil inhibits fluid absorption by the intestines (which floods the colon) and stimulates peristalsis.

Precautions

Castor oil is a powerful remedy and should be taken only as directed on the bottle. Do not use long-term as castor oil prevents absorption of essential nutrients and can cause nutritional imbalances and even kidney problems. Use only in serious cases of constipation.
