Suggestions for homemade ipecac?

I’m putting together a First Aid Kit and cannot get ipecac at the local pharmacy. Any suggestions as to what I could use as a replacement? I have heard of rock salt and warm water– so I am including a small pack of rock salt, but I also heard that it isn’t too reliable… Any other suggestions?

No one should ever have an emetic in a first aid pack! There are no longer thought to be any conditions where the risk of inducing vomiting is justified, forget it!
