Dr. Bronner's Castile Soaps

By the way, I did a little measurement this evening. One "capful" of Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap is about 2 teaspoons or 10ml. Hope someone finds that a useful piece of information to file away somewhere.

I sure do. I don't keep measuring spoons around anywhere but the kitchen, so I've always gone by the capful.

Even if you decide that you don't like the peppermint soap for enemas, it's great for showering in the summer after working outside. Very refreshing.

@caffeine Great point. I second it.

Dr. Bronners is a great BODY WASH. Peppermint is tingly all over (careful with the privates and the eyes). I've also used almond and currently I've got lavender in the shower.

A member on here put me onto using Dr. Bronner's since it was not detergent to wash the finish on my '65 Plymouth Valiant 100 since it was a softer paint used back then.

I used to use Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented Magic Bar for my initial 2qts, however I have never tried to hold it, so cannot tell how much 'urge' it adds. Once I took almost whole 4qts of very soapy solution and it caused a lot of pain and serious irritation that took 2 days to calm. Since I have IBS, I cannot tell whether it was due to this soap or just soap.

While ago I switched to 'pure organic' hand-made soap from local soap maker. But if anyone is interested in Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented Magic Bar you can get it directly from them:

As for any body wash, I would not use for enema, because those product contain a lot of additives that are not meant for internal use at all. Same applies to shampoos. Contrary to what some of zity users may claim or do.

I’m personally a fan of the almond Bronner’s. I’ve tried tea tree, lavender, and peppermint. By far the most reactive for me was tea tree. That’s a pretty potent one, even in small doses.

FWIW, about a year ago I bought a quart of house brand (Walmart) peppermint soap that turned out to be awful in an enema. That got relegated to hand soap pump refills.

Walmart got some "thick" version for a while that was annoying for enemas and TBH other uses too. Then they had a non-Equate version that was more Bronnery, and most recently no generics, just the $$ Bronners.

@ilffer "using Dr. Bronner's since it was not detergent to wash the finish off on my '65 Plymouth Valiant"

Pardner, @GlovedFun says we should try, "almond Bronner's". If I had some, i'd be dribbling it into an enema solution today. So, never even heard of it till now, You?

I wasn't trying to wash the finish OFF of the car. I used it because it was safer than using detergent. I washed the finish that was ON the car.
