Most soothing Castile soap enema recipe

Hello,

I haven't done the Dr Bonners peppermint Castille soap enema in awhile simply because I find it too crampy. My recipe is a 2 quart salt and soda enema with a tbsp of peppermint castille soap and even after a douching prior to, it is still too crampy.

Does anyone have a more soothing castille soap recipe?

Cheers and thanks

Abandon the castile soap and go to Johnson's Baby Shampoo.

Not a big fan of the Peppermint castile soap, but do like the Lavandar or unscented. Neither are particularly crampy, unless you really load up your solution heavy with them. Of course, as has already been said, J&J Baby Shampoo is very mild and satisfactory as well. It's all what YOU enjoy!

I like j&j's " head to toe baby wash" to which I add sea salt and baking soda. Really mild and extremely effective.

Try Conti Castile. It's a bar soap that also contains olive oil. I have a touch of IBS, so I don't use soap solutions unless I'm really backed up. Just a few swishes does it. It's a soft soap that dissolves quickly. Maybe I'm fantasizing, but I feel that the olive oil gives a little internal lubrication that makes releases more comfy. I had a flu bug two weeks ago and I had an old fashioned SSE with the Conti that was as soothing as they come. Anyone else discover Conti?

Hmmm. Thanks everyone for the great answers. It seems that there is a slight lean towards Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo and since I'm always up for trying something new I think I'll buy it. Can y'all tell me how much should be used per quart? I plan on trying "Funnstrict"'s recipe and add Sea Salt and Soda.

Thanks again. 😃

I am surprised no one has mentioned this soap. Its very good.

I buy my soaps from www.indigowild.com in KC,MO. Goats milk & glycerin without a bunch of chemicals added. Very mild for Enemas, even when made stronger.

1 tablespoon per quart seems to be a pretty common ratio for baby shampoo - nice and slippery. You might want to save the salt and soda for the follow up rinses. I feel like they kind of take away from the soaps ability to act as a surfactant - though I have no hard data to support that. Maybe try it both ways and decide for yourself 😃

If by surfactant you mean cleanser then just using J&J would make me wonder if it would not be as soothing as adding salt and soda. Of course I'm not speaking from experience as I've never tried the baby shampoo recipe so if someone who has tried both can weigh in that would be great.

By surfactant, I was referring to its lubricity. In reality, the effect is probably unnoticeable.

Thanks Doug, I'll try it for sure!!!!

Thank you for the recipe, I'll give it a try.

Vicki, I haven't tried Conti Castile, because I've only seen it for sale in organic food stores. It sounds like something I should try. I agree that baby Head to Toe Wash liquid is very mild and sudsy. I use tap water 75% of the time, but sometimes enjoy the "kick" of castile, Baby soap, or Neutrogena. If I use Dr. B's Peppermint, or Ivory I make sure to mix a very mild solution.
