    Castor oil? How about it?

    Never did take it myself but read shortly about it when I looked it up. Apparently Castor oil along with a few other items mixed in where used to force a woman into labor as well as to clean ones bowels. Interesting. I'll probably try and pick up a bottle or two of Castor in a few days...
