This technique of colon cleansing was considered a yearly event in the good old days. Cleaning the system out once a year was believed to help aid in overall health of the body.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Measure out the needed amount of castor oil. If your weight is average or above, use 1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons. If your weight is below average, do not use more than 1 tablespoon.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the castor oil with and equal amount of juice. Orange juice does a better job at making a colon cleansing cocktail. This will help kill the taste.

  3. Step 3

    Begin your colon cleanse on an empty stomach. Simply drink the castor oil mixture on an empty stomach.

  4. Step 4

    After you drink the colon cleansing substance, wait about 20 minutes. Then drink a cup of warm water every 15 minutes for about an hour. You should begin to feel sudden urges to use the bathroom. This process will be similar to other colon cleansing products.
