To be safe, it is always advisable to do a 24 hour patch test on the inner arm before using any body product for the first time, especially for babies and children. Please always consult your doctor. 

NOTE: High doses of Castor Oil have been known to cause uterine contractions - use with caution if pregnant or trying to conceive and using castor oil for the first time. To be safe, in these circumstances do not use a castor oil pack or take castor oil by mouth. 

Detox symptoms are possible when using castor oil, especially when using a large castor oil pack on the belly area, and when consumed. This depends on the amount of toxicity in the body and individual sensitivity. 

If unsure, start with a low dose - not more than 1 tsp topically per day, and not more than 1 tablespoon orally or less if taking as a laxative. If you feel OK at these doses, proceed to increase the dosage as needed.

Oral Consumption

For occasional constipation only, see recommended dosages below. 

DO NOT consume if pregnant or trying to conceive as it may cause uterine contractions.

Treating the underlying conditions causing constipation is as important as treating the constipation itself. Remember that causes could be due to anxiety as much as it could be from diet. 
Please always consult your doctor. 

Start with the lowest dose if taking orally for the first time, as it may cause unpleasant detox symptoms.

It can take up to 6 - 12 hours for results.
