les conseils de nelly grosjean
For dry purging, castor oil is an excellent aid to eliminate mucus and all lymphatic and pulmonary congestion.
Instructions for Use
Take 1–2 tablespoons in a little fresh tomato, apple, or grapefruit juice and immediately chew a piece of ginger or take a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Then avoid solid or liquid food for at least twelve hours and until the next elimination.
Additional Useful Tips
- If possible, take castor oil in the evening.
- Preheat the glass containing castor oil in a bowl of hot water or on a radiator to liquefy the oil and facilitate absorption.
- Mix 1–2 tablespoons of castor oil with freshly pressed fruit juice.
- Possible aftertaste or lingering flavor of castor oil may occur; in this case, massage the abdomen with 20 drops of the DIGôm blend, place a warm compress on the liver, keep feet warm, and rest comfortably in bed!
- Use thick and/or sweet fruit juices (mango, pineapple, apricot) or freshly pressed grapefruit, apple, or tomato juice (the pectin helps mix evenly with castor oil).
- Limit the volume of fruit juice to less than 50 ml (1/3 of a small glass) to avoid drinking too much.
External Use Only?
As with all castor oil, it is prohibited in France to sell it for internal use, which is why our bottles are labeled for external use only. In many other countries, castor oil is permitted and sold for internal use. For example, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of castor oil as a stimulant laxative for temporary relief of occasional constipation.
Contraindications
Although castor oil is widely used as a purgative, there are several contraindications:
- Pregnant women should not take castor oil.
- People with the following symptoms should also avoid castor oil:
- Rectal bleeding
- Severe and sudden stomach pain
- Symptoms of appendicitis
- Symptoms of intestinal blockage, such as inability to pass gas or vomiting
- Vomiting
Internal use as a purgative. Castor oil has significant laxative properties and can be dangerous in high doses. Always consult a healthcare professional before using castor oil internally. Store away from light and keep out of reach of children.
At-Risk Groups: Precautions with Castor Oil Poultices
Although castor oil is generally well tolerated externally, certain populations should use it with caution or avoid it to prevent possible adverse effects.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Local application of castor oil may, in rare cases, stimulate uterine contractions. It is therefore not recommended to apply it to the abdomen during pregnancy. Breastfeeding women should also consult a healthcare professional before using castor oil, especially near the chest.
- Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis): In some individuals with skin disorders, castor oil may cause irritation or worsen symptoms. A patch test on a small area is recommended.
- Liver or kidney disorders: In cases of liver or kidney conditions, frequent or extensive use of poultices may cause metabolic overload. Since these organs are essential for toxin elimination, medical advice is essential.
- Allergies and sensitive skin: Although rare, allergic reactions to castor oil have been reported. Sensitive individuals should perform a skin test before regular use.
