Castor Seeds For Family Planning 100g

How To Use Castor Seeds

There are about 178 seeds in this pack of 100 grams.

Also, 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.
