A member asked:
I am 22 weeks pregnant and have been using castor oil on piles for the last week but have stopped as i am unsure of its safe. will i have done harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: I doubt it has done harm, but there are plenty of other over the counter remedies that are specifically designed for this use, and i would recommend those over castor oil.
