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 on the belly area 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 on a castor oil pack per day, and not more than 1 tablespoon orally 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.

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