Pickle juice?

I've read plenty of posts about vinegar and plenty others about salt solutions. Just wondering tho if anyone on here has tried using left over pickle juice like from a jar of dill pickles, diluted of course. I routinely keep a jar in the fridge after the pickles are gone because the juice is invaluable as a muscle cramp remedy.

While I realize women often douche with vinegar and water, I would be cautious about taking an enema with any type of vinegar/brine solution. I do add a dash of Epsom salts to my soapy enema solution, but not a lot. Salt and/or vinegar can cause chemical burning of the lining of the colon.

That pickle juice can be handy if you suffer from sinus drainage that gets thick and dries in your throat, especially in winter. A couple swallows of pickle brine can really help cut that accumulated crud in your throat.

Drink a bunch of the brine and you won't need an enema.

I'd rather have sinus problems!!! LOL!!! I don't mind pickles in potato salad or something similar, but to drink pickle juice, but to drink pickle juice, which my mom does for cramps in her feet, UGH!!! LOL!!!

Folks here should do a little reading before posting about which they know nothing about such as not using vinegar in an enema. Vinegar has been used in enemas for many, many years for getting rid of worms and candida. The old rule for getting rid of worms was 50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar (acv). I have no idea how that felt internally, but it could not have been too good. One day I decided to try an acv enema. I used 1/2 cup in 3 quarts of water. There was no burning sensation; however, about 1/2 way through the enema, I started to feel nauseous. Since that day, I've had many acv enemas, and I enjoy them. I'm now able to use quite a bit more vinegar. BTW, I've used store brand acv, Braggs acv and good ole white distilled vinegar. They all work quite well, and, I don't think that there is another enema solution that cleans the colon as well.

My 2 cents worth.

Has anyone else used pickle juice in an enema? Or as the OP suggested drinking it to relieve muscle cramps?

Old Wive’s Tale or is there some real benefit to pickle juice? I’ve had calve and foot cramps all my life, not sure if I’m willing to try a pickle juice enema tho! Not looking for medical advice, but can anyone share other silly “old wives” recipes for cramps or other ailments?

Never used in an enema, but can relieve muscle cramps in about 130 seconds after drinking it. Sweet or dill juice works.

I hadn't heard of pickle juice for possible muscle cramps, but had heard it can help with gout.

Still haven't put it in a bag and up my sub's ass even for that. May have to reconsider the possibility.

@MissStress,

What would be your rationale or intended reaction to giving him a pickle enema?

Eric

Since it is very acidic I think it would be a crampy enema. There is something just not kosher about the whole idea.

@Moppys_jalopy:

Very punny.

@MissStress,

@ericmacson Just to give him something different. If it turns out crampy then I'd have another punishment enema.

While it hasn’t been proven yet, researchers post that pickle juice may help cramps by triggering muscular reflexes when the liquid contacts the back of the throat. This reflex shuts down the misfiring of neurons in muscle all over the body, and “turns off” the cramping feeling. It’s thought that it’s specifically the vinegar content in pickle juice that does this. The idea of it restoring electrolytes doesn't hold because it takes too much time for the body to absorb - and the reduced cramping appears to occur within a couple of minutes.

So it seems that pickle juice can be used orally to reduce cramps and anally to induce cramps. What a versatile product. I suppose the pickles themselves could double as a “toy”!!!! New way to “get pickled”!! 😈

I've never tried it, but a friend of mine gets bad cramps in his feet at night. He said he drinks pickle juice and the cramps go away within a couple of minutes. I don't know if I want to drink pickle juice in the middle of the night or anytime for that matter
