Does castor oil work?

Question

Does castor oil work?

Answer 1

Yes but i heard it was nasty.

Answer 2

It is a great lubricant. In days gone by it was used in everything from airplane motors to race car and motorcycle engines.

It is also an efficient laxative, but not used much anymore for that purpose.

Answer 3

For causing loose stools or diarrhea, yes. For inducing labor, not really.
