In my opinion, no. Immediate? Do you expect results within minutes? Drinking that much oil is not a good idea because this type of oil tends to accumulate in your body and can cause other problems.


If the constipation is so severe that you are considering this method, you need to speak to your doctor, or at least ask the pharmacist at your local drug store for some suggestions.
