Laxatives are dangerous and your body can become dependent on them. Water is a natural solution to constipation - drink 80 to 120 oz per day.

Silly question why do you want/need a laxative? Castor oil can be very hard on the stomach. If you are constipated try a Glycerin suppository.

A teaspoon or two. NO more. Instead, I would recommed a bottle of Magnesium Citrate found for a couple of dollars at pharmacy or Walmart. Drink whole bottle. Cheap and does the trick, FAST>
