One of the challenges women who want to try natural contraceptive have is knowing when to use castor seeds. We said castor seed because it is increasingly becoming the most effective natural contraceptive for women.
Really, from observation, we know there is a sift away from orthodox contraceptives.
Indeed, some women claim the side effect is a huge burden for them to bare.
Well, everyone’s body system responds to these things differently. Even natural contraceptives also work differently for each person.
However, the side-effect is minimal because it is in its natural state. That is the best form of food that the human body understands the most.
Castor seeds are one of such contraceptives with side effects, yet effective for most users.
Right Time To Use Castor Seeds
Also, people are not sure of the right time to take castor seeds.
Is it before period flow or after? Is it few days to ovulation or after?
This confusion makes many make unpalatable mistakes that result in pregnancy.
Unfortunately, there are limited studies on how long it take castor seed to digest, but we have a clue.
From reports, castor oil typically causes a bowel movement to occur in 2 to 3 hours (1).
However, it may take up to 6 hours to work for some people.
Now, that is the oil and because of processing, it is already degraded. At this point, the ricin will no longer pose much side effect.
Some women use this castor seeds oil and it works for them.
But for whole castor seeds, which most women who try castor seeds as contraceptive use, timing is key to its effectiveness.
One way it works for many is to take it a day or two after the period flow.
If you use castor seeds within those days, you will give it ample time to digest. It will also allow absorption to happen.
Generally, it takes food 24 to 72 hours to move through your digestive tract.
Being a seed, it could take castor seed three days to completely digest and take effect.
As a result, it is necessary that you take a dose (two hulled seeds) in maximum two days after your period flow.
Definitely, before your ovulation window opens the digestion of the seeds must have occurred.
Also, your body would have taken up the nutrients that will help keep pregnancy away.
Common Mistakes
One mistake women make is taking castor seed when they are already ovulating. Some only remember it after sexual intercourse.
Pregnancy could occur, although, some persons are lucky enough to still get the effect.
Follow this simple timing and your natural contraceptive seeds will give you better result.
