You may also be able to find flavored varieties of castor oil at a pharmacy.
Some people may prefer to take castor oil right before bed so that it works in the morning, but that may not be a good option for people who sleep longer than 6 hours.
Adults, for example, will probably take about 15 milliliters (0. 5 fl oz), while children should take less. A syringe intended for liquid medications will make it easy to measure out the oil.
Since mixing oil into a fluid can be difficult, you may choose to instead drink the oil very quickly and then follow up with juice. Don’t use orange or grapefruit juice, as they are acidic.
If you have a large bottle of castor oil, measure some out into a separate bottle, then add the essential oil to that. If you’re using the oil for aromatherapy or other everyday uses, you may want to increase the amount of essential oil you add to the carrier. Check the essential oil bottle’s label for recommendations.
You can store the oil in a glass bottle, preferably a dark colored or opaque one, with a tightly fitting lid. Castor oil can be stored for up to 1 year if kept in a cool, dry place.
