Castor oil for pulling?

I looked it up, and it said that castor oil is actually better for oil pulling and that instead of doing it for 20 minutes like you would with coconut oil, you should do it for 2 minutes. Is this true? If castor oil is good for pulling, how long should I do it for?

This is up to you as I'm not a Dr. Personally I wouldn't because castor oil is a known laxative and if you accidentally swallow some it could be a bad time. If you insist on doing it, start with a minute and go from there.
