From Victorian times through to the 1980s it was, at different times, a common and a not-unknown method of punishing children. If you doubt it, let me remind you of the contexts in which castor oil is mentioned in "Mary Poppins", "The Terry Bears", and a certain Hoagy Carmichael song.

But even though its use addresses the "constipation-colorectal autointoxication-bad behavior" causative chain, it's less threatening and terrifying, and so less of a punishment, than following a spanking with a suppository or enema.
