Best Answer

Castor oil, applied topically to the abdomen and covered by a heat source (a heating pad or hot water bottle), can help relieve constipation when used nightly for 20-30 minutes.

The main point was to cause great discomfort (and presumably humiliation) without killing the victim. Castor oil was commonly used at the time as a cure for constipation, so ingestion of large volumes would cause a very unpleasant dose of diarrhoea.
