For constipation, I finally found relief by taking a spoon full of cold-pressed castor oil in the mornings along with my cup of tea. I now only need to take the oil about once a week or less.

I started with a strong cleanse (4 tablespoons) initially using the castor oil and gradually reduced the amount over time. Warning stay close to your commode!!!!!

The oil I use is 100% certified organic cold pressed Castor oil.

1-how long you were on 4tbsp?

2-did you do 4tbsp daily in the morning?

3-how did you manage the taste? how you were able to swallow it?

Thank you.

Wow, this, for me, has been the best method. I have tried all the previously mentioned methods to no avail. And you are right -- stay close to the commode. lol. Castor oil is best. I did 4 tablespoons today and will reduce to maybe 2 tomorrow.

Castor oil has been around for a very long time but use with caution and do not overuse. Castor beans and the leaves are very toxic and poisonous to animals.

I realise this is an old post, but for others, I had constipation for years, then took castor oil. I took 3 tablespoons and OMG! I certainly had a complete clear-out a few hours later and it kept up for 2 days. Don't take a lot and expect to be able to go out for a day or two. Now, as soon as I feel it is starting again I have a teaspoon and this works. I too use the 100% certified organic. Wonderful stuff.
