Will Purge Using Castor Oil Reduce The Problem Of Constipation?

I have a problem with constipation and would like to do a purge to help this and clean the small intestine as well as the larger one. Is castor oil safe for just a few say three days as a purge? If so, how would you go about it and what sort of diet on those three days? Thanking you in advance for your answer.

You should not practice things which are not there in the International Guidelines.
Take Syp. Lactulose to soften the stools. 2 table spoons thrice daily are more than enough. Stop when your constipation is settled. Also take Ispaghula Husk 2 table spoons thrice daily
