Natural/Safe ways to induce labor?

I know walking and sex is suppose to help.
But has anyone tried anything else that has worked? Ive read about cinnamon stick tea and cumin seed tea, has anyone tried them? How did u make them?

Ideas please! :-)

Lemons and pineapple are supposed to work. I took a tablespoon of castor oil and went on a mile walk and went into labor a few hours later

Nipple stimulation is supposed to work too, I tried it and got some pretty bad contractions

I've never tried the cinnamon stick and cumin seed tea- but I have heard raspberry leaf works.  In my experience the tricks can help you feel like you are doing something, but unless your body is ready they won't work for you.

Some other one's I have heard--
spicy food
make sure you are relaxed and not stressing- sometimes that can slow things down
acupuncture
nipple stimulation
evening primrose oil

Hope that helps and that you are holding your little one soon!
