Castor oil is to be taken internally, Castor Oil is also used as a treatment for intestinal inflammation and worms. Powder from the Castor bean and leaves is applied externally to relieve skin inflammation, boils, abscesses, earache (otitis media), and migraine, although there's no proof of its effectiveness for these ailments. In Asian medicine, Castor Oil is used as a remedy for joint pain, dry stool, indigestion, facial paralysis, boils, and ulcers. Homeopathic practitioners prescribe it for digestive ailments.
What It Is; Why It Works
Castor Oil has been used as a laxative since antiquity. It's mentioned by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, and beans from the Castor plant have been found in Egyptian tombs. The plant can be found from temperate latitudes to the tropics.
Castor Oil's laxative effect stems from its ability to prevent absorption of liquids from the intestinal tract. While the oil is relatively safe, the beans are extremely poisonous (as few as 12 can be fatal), and they should never be taken internally. They can cause severe fluid loss and lethal circulatory collapse.

Please be aware that use of castor oil orally will result in some unpleasant side effects. Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting are common in castor oil inductions and are not only uncomfortable during labor but can cause the mother to become dehydrated I would try walking, sex, and nipple stimulation first. Also baby may not be ready to come and should wait a little longer to see if you start labor on your own. Good Luck!

Castor oil is just a laxative. It doesn't kill parasites necessarily. For that you need a specific medication, then the laxative to pass them from the body.
