Dr. Bronner's Castile Soaps

I'll second the recommendation for Dr Bronner's peppermint in enemas.

I like it strong, up to one ounce per quart.

Wow Susie! An ounce per quart? Ouch. That's even a bit too strong for me. When I use a tablespoon per quart that's even hard. I follow the recommendation of a teaspoon per quart and that's plenty for me.

Yes, it leaves a nice tingly feeling afterwards. Being a lifelong soapy guy, I alternate between Dr. Bronner's, Kirk's and Ivory.

I use 1 tablespoon of bronner's peppermint soap for 2 quarts of water, never use a "rinse" enema, never had an issue

You can buy Dr. Bronner's castile soaps in most health food stores. The liquid is the best; and I buy it by gallon and half gallon jugs.

Some of the different 'flavors' are available in bar form, which would be excellent for travel to avoid spills. Dan

[Yeah and to avoid problems with the TSA LOL!

Seems like no matter what you do the bag smells like peppermint for a long time afterward.

I enjoy Dr. Bronners lavender soap, has a very nice smell to it and lavender is also supposed to reduce stress. I use about 1 tablespoon to 2qts. One time I thought I'd give myself a really good clean out and tried 2 HEAPING Tablespoons, that was a BIG MISTAKE!!!Soon after I started the enema the soap started irritating my colon and wanted to come back out, never could take the whole 2qts. A little bit of it goes a long ways, so use in moderation and you'll be just fine. Is a wonderful soap though.

Mike45,

Yeah, you will find that more is not always better since some of these

soaps are more concentrated than you would think.

I love Dr. Bronners soaps. By the way, how much would you use in a 2 quart bag.

Dr. Bronners peppermint soap gives that "minty freshness" to any enema. Though it doesn't quite cover the other smell.

The peppermint castile is one of my favorites.

After reading about it here i got a bottle of bronner's peppermint and tried it already with one teaspoon on a quart. it left a nice feeling while releasing but i expected more.

I guess i need to use more of it the next time. Reading Susie's comment i might try an ounce and hope it doesnt get too strong 😉

And thank you bburl, i will try using it as lube . . .

Wow Susie was right...... an ounce per quart does make a difference.... a pleasant difference

An ounce is equal to 6 teaspoons. Six teaspoons of Dr. Bronners peppermint per quart of water seems like a bit much. Do any problems occur when that dosage of soap is used. I am used to using one teaspoon per quart of water. I am considering a two teaspoon per quart dosage but want to be sure it is safe. Don't want bubbles coming out of my mouth from a soap overdose going in the rear end!

No bubbles coming out of my mouth, but I could tell right away as I mixed up the solution. The water felt almost silky and I could feel the "tingle" all the time I was taking and holding. I must recant a little, I didn't measure but tried to measure by how much the bottle contained before and after I mixed. I'm confident it was in the 1oz to 1 qt area as far a ratio goes. Yes, I will do it again. If you have not tried figging or mentholyptis cough drops as a suppository the this is a fair comparison except the figging is a little more intense and you can "fig" for as long as you want.

Would not use any other soap the peppermint is the greatest 😎

Two teaspoons of Dr. Bonners peppermint or regular castile soap is fine. However, you may want to follow with a tap water or saline (about 1 teasp of salt per quart of water for a rinse so the residual soap doesn't continue to irritate your colon.

YEs Dr. Bronner's peppermint is by far my fav orite after I discovered people who were using it here I gave it a try. $15 bucks for a 32oz. bottle is pretty cheap when you consider how long it lasts. I also bought a botle of lavender to try out too. The lavender is not as intense as the peppermint but is easier to hold and gice some good cramps after only about 5 minutes of retaining. The peppermint is very fast acting for me. I use 10ml or about a tablespoon per quart. THis turn the water a nice milky white. I love my enemas nice and hot at about 110 degrees. I use a two-quart paris bag and a kb-3 tip from klystra. I do a series of three peppermint 1 quart fast flow injections with about a 5-10 min hold if I can even last that long. Depending on how it goes I can either hold the peppermint or I just let loose during my fill which is always in my tub with the water running! The combination of the soap and the tip from klystra gives me insane orgasms upon release and muscle contractions that are euphoric sometimes in their intensity. I also read that others have used the peppermint for lube as well which is also great. The tingling it gives your ass is the best and just washing yourself with the soap makes you tingle all over. I love washing my cock and balls with it. I wonder if it gives women the same pleasure when they wash their special place!

I ws already a user of Dr. Bronner's lavender when a colon therapist recommended recently that I try the peppermint. She put a little in the closed system water during the session. I found it pleasant and will probably convert to it.

Ivory went together with enemas during my childhood and later, but it now seems too harsh.

I just purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronners lavender soap. I haven't used it in quite awhile, but I seem to have suddenly gotten a yen for a soapy enema, and this product is the best.

Dr. Bronners can be really stimulating if you make the enema solution strong enough (one to two tablespoons per quart of water) and make the enema water as warm as you can stand.

Well, I tried a Dr. Bronner's soapy enema this past weekend. Took a four-quart enema with one tablespoon of soap per quart, which seems to be the recommended amount in most recipes.

The result? A lot of stuff came out, but the stuff expelled was very liquid, rather than solid. I think I overdid it. That may be too much soap for my colon, because it was really irritating, and I had trouble doing the plain water rinse enemas afterward -- they were rather uncomfortable, which they usually are not.

All in all, I didn't find the experience all that wonderful, and in the future I may just stay with my usual plain water enemas.

Everyone is different. Unfortunately, I have some hemorrhoids that tend to bleed, and I think this soap might not be a very good idea in my case.

Bburl wrote:"Used straight, Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap is also a very stimulating lube for nozzle insertion"

Does anyone know if the soap used as lube will attack the silicone in my doubble inflateable nozzle?

I've used Dr. B's Peppermint for lube on silicone, latex, rubber, etc. with no observable damage to any of these products. I am not a chemist, but my observation is that there has been no damage or degradation of the integrity of my nozzle collection.

I found Dr.Bronner's "Unscented Baby Mild" to be a great enema soap. Three squirts into 3 to 4 quarts of very warm water administered deep using a colon tube gives powerful, but not uncomfortable, cleanse. All the different varieties of Dr. Bronner's are available at Mother's Markets in Southern California.

Can i use regular soap-suds? - i have some that contains around 30% pure soap - will this be okay?.. these arent based on castile or anything other - its actually used for washing wooden floors :O

I would never use that floor product! If it’s 30% pure soap, what’s the other 70%?

I have used a laundry product that is essentially pure soap flakes with a little perfume. It dissolves quickly and works very well, though for convenience I prefer liquid castile soap.

One-eyes:

its also recommended for laundry 😃

That it’s recommended for laundry is neither here nor there. To be considered for an enema, at the very least a product should be safe for your hands. But that doesn’t mean dishwashing fluid is a good idea.

The relevant question is what is in this floor cleaning product besides ‘pure soap’? If it was just pure soap and pure water, for example, it would be fine (diluted), but that’s not very likely. Be sensible and safe.

My wife just bought a bottle of Dr Bronners Lavender and a bottle of peppermint extract at the health food store. Could be the best of both worlds. She said I'll be trying it this weekend.

We've read the castile packets contain 9ml and are intended to be used in 2 quarts of water. That's how we always measure it and it always worked well with the peppermint Dr. B's.

I've experienced it for a lube and it was too intense for me.

I used to use Dr. Bronner's regularly in my enemas until I read the label one day. It is made from Kemp. I became concerned that it might show up on a drug test, I am subject to random drug tests because of my employment, so I stopped using it.

Do any of your medical people know for sure if there is any possibility of it showing up on a drug test?

You can safely go back to using Dr. Bronner's. The hemp that is used in the manufacture of soap is not the same as the hemp we refer to in cannabis sativa. It will NOT show up on a drug test.

Bring on the suds!

The DEA does not allow Hemp to be grown in the USA, nor do they allow the importation or sale of any product containing THC or any of its chemical relatives with a prescription. All hemp produces some THC (the primary active ingredient in Marijuana).That is why there is an outright ban on the production of Hemp in the USA. Varities of Hemp for Marijuana production have been specially bred to maximize THC content.

Most varieties of Hemp contain very little THC to begin with, and the commercial varieties have been specically bred to minimize THC content. It is a safe bet that the THC content in Hemp Oil is below the level of detection, effectively zero, otherwise the DEA would not allow it to be sold or used.
