A member asked:
Can you take castor oil everynight?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Really depends: It's relatively safe to take everyday for a short period time, but i would never recommend taking any laxative daily.

Probably: Teaspoon, depends on your size and your results, may need more or less for effectiveness.
