Can I take a tablespoon of castor oil to clear bowels? It is early morning. Would it help or you would suggest some other laxative.

It’s better to take Tab Erandbhrushta haritaki 0-0-2 With lukewarm water at bedtime.

Hello, Yes. It can be taken. But better not to take on daily basis just avoid the habit. You can take once a week.

In general if you have complete bowel evacuation in a day, please do not go for any laxatives, instead stick to good fiber rich diet practices.

Take care, Kind regards.
