FAQ: Preparation

Castor Oil Preparation

This is a helpful preparation tool to help get the maximum benefit of each colonic treatment. Castor oil will substantially increase the amount of matter released during each treatment and will continue the softening process when applied between treatments. Castor oil is a natural oil derived from the bean of the castor plant. This oil should NOT be taken orally but should be used externally as nature intended it.

I highly recommend that people do the castor oil preparation before treatments. By doing this you will release up to twice the matter from your bowel and more easily! During your course of colonics, I would recommend that you apply castor oil 4-7 times a week.

What does Castor oil do?

• Softens hardened, compacted matter
• Acts as a bowel lubricant
• Soothes inflamed internal tissues; it is one of nature’s best anti-inflammatory oils
• Relaxes and calms the colon due to an increase in nerve supply

How do I apply it?

Lying down on your back, pour a decent sized puddle of oil onto your abdomen and use one finger to spread it over your belly leaving a thick layer (should cover from just under your ribs to just above the pubic area). DO NOT RUB IT IN. It will absorb at it’s own rate. Cover your abdomen with a towelling hand towel that has been folded in half. To keep the towelling in place, pull up your underpants or boxer shorts (the biggest ones you own!)

Allow an hour for the oil to slowly soak in and penetrate into the bowel. Note: There is no need to wash the towel between use. Just re-use it. The best time to usually do this is the period between finishing dinner and bedtime. While it’s soaking in you can either lie down, recline in front of the TV or read, or you can walk around as the towel can be held in place by your big undies.
