A member asked:
Can rubbing castrol oil on your stomach induce labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. : There is a paucity of data regarding the safety and/or efficacy of castor oil which is often ingested rather than used topically. People tend to report nausea with this method and i would recommend against trying induction at home. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=23881775.
