Effectiveness Of Castor Seeds For Birth Control

Have you been searching for a reliable birth control remedy? There is something about castor seeds and birth control that you should know.

You may have heard some stories about how family planning implants fail some women.

People have talked about babies coming out at birth with a ring that was meant to stop the pregnancy.

This situation has created some form of discomfort for some women.

It is especially so when they had hung boots, hoping to just take care of the children they already had.

Interestingly, there are natural ways of preventing pregnancy or family planning as you may chose to refer to it.

Basically, some persons practise withdrawal method while some understudy their ovulation period and their body. But research says 1 in 4 women who practise natural contraceptive get pregnant.




However, we looked into something that has been used by people of old to control child birth.

Before we share our findings, here is something we have also observed.

See How To Neutralise Effect Of Castor Seeds As Contraceptive

Women who have had prolonged labour, have received shots of castor seeds oil to induce labour.

In most cases, this works and it induces labour.

This situation often points to one fact – the ability of castor oil to force a baby out of the womb.

Funny as that sounds, but that is the situation.

Castor Seeds For Birth Control – Research

Reducing the chances of getting pregnant after childbirth is something that most women find difficult to do.

As a result, some persons have had near-twin babies.

In search of a remedy to this issue, we found that castor seeds could help.

A 1999 study showed that castor seeds could help women control child birth.

The findings showed positive result after an evaluation of the seeds’ extract on rabbits.

According to the report, focus was on the anti-implantation and antiovulation effects of castor bean extract (CBE) and ricin A-chain (RAC).

“Both CBE and RAC, administered intraperitoneally on days 5-9 of pregnancy, exhibited a pronounced decrease in maternal body weight gain and in death of all fetuses.”

It further stated that “the data clearly indicate that CBE and RAC possess potent effects on implantation and ovulation in rabbits”.

The protein contents of castor bean extract, separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed the presence of several protein bands, ricin toxin being a major constituent of the extract.

How To Use Castor Seeds

There are no general recommendation on how to use castor seeds as contraceptive.

However, WebMD reported that “there is some evidence that a single dose of castor seeds with the outer coat removed (hulled) can work as a contraceptive for up to 8-12 months”.

To use castor seeds, they must be hulled, as the shell is said to be poisonous.

Also, a study indicated that the seeds contain ricin, one of the most toxic substances known.

Dose-Related Toxicity (Poisoning)

The seed may cause an acute and potentially fatal gastroenteritis. Delayed visceral damage is another serious complication; however, but this is quite rare.

Also, this toxicity may cause diarrhea, and we have received comment about this side effect.

The toxicity is dose related and depends on the amount of castor beans ingested or swallowed.

Some women have also inserted natural castor oil into their vagina to reduce fertilisation of the egg by the semen.

  1. Please how can I get the Castor seed? How do I preserve it?
    How long can a seed last before it loses its effectiveness?
    Thanks.

    1. Please right now am confused about how to use it because we’re I bought the castor seed I ask d man how to use it and he said 1seed work for 1days and here they said that 1seed works for 8-12month please I want u people clear me on this

      1. You don’t have to be confused. Two seeds are recommended as a dose. Research says these two seeds would last for 6 months even. But some women, take two per month just to be sure.

    2. Please can you take castor seed after taking contraceptive pill? I mean let say you took contraceptive pill today, can you also take castor seed tomorrow please?

  2. Please I want to know after taking the seed as a contraceptive can continue to have both safe and unsafe inter course with my husband at any time of the month or we have to be cautious.

    1. Thank you so much for your comment.

      Well, sometimes, people do some thing that also negates the effect of the contraceptive they are taking. Like eating goron tula when you also take contraceptive. Pregnancy could happen since the fruit boosts fertility. It makes sense that you should not eat things that boost fertility while you take contraceptive. Aside from that, you can go ahead and have safe and unsafe sex with your husband. This seeds work well.

    2. Good Day, Is it possible to get pregnant while using the seed, I took one last month after my period and I haven’t seen my period this month, My cycle is pass 31days already. I had unsafe sex

      1. Good day. I just learnt about castor seed and I want to give it a trial. Am a mother of two and don’t want another baby for now. I don’t live with my husband. He visits once a year and spends abt 2-3months with us. Am using Microgynon as my contraceptive but want to stop & try castor seed.
        Note: I only take Microgynon only when my husband is around but once he leaves, I stop the pills.
        Please what is your advice to me?
        Thank you.

  3. I was told to take two castor seed every month after my menstruation and I have read now that if you take single dose of castor seed it prevents pregnancy for 8-12months.please you clarify this for me.thanks

    1. Thank you so much for your comment.

      What we documented in the article were all from researches, But we also know that there could be exceptional cases where a single dose may not be effective for that long. This largely depends on what the woman also eats.

      The best thing may be to take a single dose once every three months. However, if you are scared it may not stop pregnancy, you may go with a seed per month. But observe your body to be sure there is no side effect as a result of regular usage. Thank you.

  23. So does taking Castor seeds likely to cause some abnormalities to the future coming babies in case i want to conceive again? Please help me on this.

    1. Well, that depends on when you stopped and when you conceive. Give you self six months after you stop taking it before conception. It can still be in your body body for six months. But after that, all you need to do is boost intake of hormone balancing foods and your hormones will normalise for conception and healthy baby.

    1. Well, it could also have adverse effect on semen motility. But it works better in women. A man can use wait oil as lubricant during sexual intercourse and that will prevent pregnancy from happening. We have that in out shop.

    2. well, we are not sure of that, but one thing is that it could make semen ineffective. But for a man, we will advise that you use the neem wait oil which you can find in our shop.
