Natural Inducing remedies

I am just asking this question to see who hastried any remedies.
I drank castor oil with my first born and it worked like a charm! This time around I'm choosing to go on my own.
Just wondering if any one has tried any remedies such a EPO or Red Rasberry Tea and how effective it is.
** Please, no bashing** We all know that our bodies will go when the time is right!!

Re: Natural Inducing remedies
More than likely the castor oil "worked" by coincidence, your LO was already ready to come on thier own. Also, castor oil is not recommended and can have some pretty bad after effects in case anyone is considering this.
I bounced on a yoga ball a lot, not because I was hoping to go into labor but because it helped my back feel better. I did have contractions sometimes when I did that but it sure didn't help, I ended up being induced which led to a cesarean.

I am planning to go on my own meaning that I am going to let me body run its course.
I simply asked this question only because I am on bedrest and bored. I wanted to start a discussion on a topic that I didn't see on here.
I am currently taking red raspberry leaf and nettle tea. Helps tone your uterus.
I have been advised against EPO and told to use Borage oil, it will help with your cervix. Also I was told pineapple and and date fruits will help prepare your body.
Once I'm 36 weeks, she is giving me mother's cordial. And then acupuncture.
I also plan on staying active and using hip opening exercises.
Because I've had two c-sections, my OB won't do a medical induction. She suggested the naturopath and acupuncture to me.
Thank you! That is all I am doing. It is just interesting to see what other women do or try to induce labor.
I don't think there is a need for rude posts or replies!
Funny story, btw!

I took RRLT from 16 weeks on and EPO starting at 38 weeks. I happened to go into labor at 38 weeks, 5 days. While I think the EPO helped, I don't think it cause it, I think it was my time to go into labor. But I did progress very quickly (water broke at 2AM, baby born naturally at 7:14AM) and I often wonder if the EPO played some part in helping to soften my cervix to allow that.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Yup. RRLT & EPO do not induce anything. They are simply preparation for the uterus & cervix. I did both with both pregnancies. DD came on her own at 39w1d.
DS I had a membrane sweep plus the above. He came with no further intervention at 41w2d.

That's what Tim said.
I have heard swallowing the father's sperm can reduce preeclampsia (by accustoming mother's body to his DNA), and that semen can soften the cervix. Both of these at least make some sense. How in the world would it possibly start labor? Use your brain.
