Ingredients explained

Castor oil (Ricinus communis) seed oil

Ricinoleic acid in castor oil stimulates intestinal motility and fluid secretion, which may help promote bowel movements.

Caution: Intended for short-term, occasional use only because frequent use may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance; avoid during pregnancy and lactation due to traditional use concerns and stimulant effect.

Fennel oil (Foeniculum vulgare) fruit oil

Aromatics in fennel oil may relax smooth muscle in the gut and help ease gas and digestive discomfort.

Caution: Essential oils can cause stomach upset in some people; discontinue if irritation occurs and avoid if sensitive to fennel or related plants.

How they work together

Castor oil promotes bowel movements by increasing intestinal activity and fluid in the lumen, while fennel oil may help ease gas and cramping for a more comfortable experience. Together they address both motility and digestive comfort aspects of occasional irregularity.
