You dont have to ask no healthcare provider to drink castor oil,,just BECAREFUL of the amount,,,matter if fact some healthcare provider will not always tell you truth because they want you to keep coming....am a jamaican and i have seen my grandparents and parents using castor oil and the only side effect were great benefits

The best way to use Castor oil is on chamomile tea. Just make your regular tea and let it set until it is warm (no hot), and then put 1 tablespoon on and drink it before bedtime. It will help to go to the bathroom and also cleanse your gallbladder! Do this every night.

[@sbillingsley84]

Where do you get yours from what should it say?

[@bdw7254]

I tried it…currently and I’m watching video to get an idea of what to expect. You can do the same thing with ghee but it’s much more gentle and has to be allowed to work of the course of a few days. I took 1 tsp before bed and was irritated and couldn’t sleep. I took another one between 5am-7am and the affects started by 8am. I am not a person who gets completely constipated but I get gas and bloating so I occasionally clear everything out so that could affect how soon it worked for me. Don’t expect one huge movement except several small liquid or variable textured movements. Drink warm water to get the affects to start then after ever BM to avoid a headache.

[@enemanozzle]

You should never take castor oil before bed! - Take a good dose (1 - 2 oz) castor oil, this on an empty stomach, so the best early in the morning, not having breakfasted. 1 to 2 hours later the bowel movement will begin irresistibly.

[@bdw7254]

@@enemanozzle according to Ayurveda you take it before bed because it allows it to go through the body to cleanse the channel and works better for purification. You take up to 3 tsp depending on your constipation levels. If desired affect doesn’t occur in the morning then you take an additional 1-3 tsp dose between 5am and 7am on an empty stomach with warm water through the day. You should have 3 small bowel movements then you drink clear broth soup for the rest of the day no cold liquids. That’s house you cleanse. Don’t fuck it up or you’ll make yourself sick

[@enemanozzle]

@@bdw7254 For me I prefer a good night's sleep. Only in the case that my intestines are bloated in such a manner that I am not able to sleep I shall take my dose castor oil during the night.

[@bdw7254]

@@enemanozzle if you can’t sleep you took too much. If it moves within 1-2 hrs you might not have been constipated in the first place. In that case you defiantly should take 1-3 tsp before bed. Typically a pre before bed is for detoxing the body because the 10pm hour is when the body detoxes. The castor can go into the liver and through the body to unblock the channels so in the morning you can fee truest clean. Dinner by 6pm, castor oil 1 for loose stools, 2 for sticky but soft, and three for hard stools, have a shower warm to loosen the toxins in fat, go to bed by 9pm. It shouldn’t wake you up. In the morning take another dose and chase with warm water and/or warm honey lemon water to cleanse the GI tract. You should have 3 small bm then have a clear soup diet as stated previously so that you don’t re block your Bowels. You’re gonna be hungry as hell. Good luck.

[@enemanozzle]

@@bdw7254 No, this is a misunderstanding, for I am speaking of the case that my bowels will be impacted due to the vegetarian food in such a manner, that I shall have a sleepless night. Only in this case I will take my dose castor oil not in the morning but during the night.

[@jseehowitsbeen3177]

I have diverticulitis too. I just had a flare up that was bad after eating yogurt with carrageenan in it (which has caused me to flare up in the past) and was on my menstrual cycle (which for some reason has also caused me to flare up in the past). So I was dealing with those things for the past 5-6 days and felt awful. Normally being constipated is not a thing for me when I’m in a flare up, because normally it’s the opposite. But this time I could not go. And even though I was drinking a lot of hot teas and broths, and drinking water, and barely eating, I could feel myself getting more and more constipated. It was awful. Finally I did a castor oil pack on my lower abdomen where I felt the most sore, and where it felt hard, and left it on with a heated water bottle on top for two hours. It was after I did that and a whole lot of praying that I finally got relief. I’m going to have to look into ingesting it of it helps with diverticulitis. I have had flare ups since I was 16, and I’m now almost 41.
