I'm in need of immediate constipation relief and the only thing I have available in my household at the moment that can possibly be used for constipation is the Aura Cacia brand castor oil. Except this is the one I use to apply to my eyelashes. Is this type of castor oil safe to consume?
If not, what am I looking for in an edible oil? Are there any side effects attached to it? Will it upset the stomach? I read somewhere someone said Peat said it was fine since it isn't absorbed by the intestines. I assume castor oil is safe since it was an old school remedy they use to give children. Thanks.
