How do you use Castor Oil?

Just in case someone wanted to use Castor Oil to induce labor, how exactly would you use it it?

Don't do it. It's not worth it.?

Go to this website : https://www.givingbirthnaturally.com/natural-ways-to-induce-labor.html . It tells you how much to use and what you can mix it with. I tried it this morning and it did nothing for me, not even loose stools! But a girl I know used it and had her baby 5 hours later... depends on the person! Good luck!

It only works if your baby and body are ready to give birth...hence pp at over 41 weeks doing it and it not working.

I believe this for all the induction methods- including stripping membranes.

Oh and I tried it with #1. It did bring on contractions but not dilation... so it was FALSE LABOR. Sad
