's message, "A laxative first , then enemas" on 17:42:22 06/13/09 Sat
The two laxatives we generally had around our house when I was growing up were castor oil and Epsom Salts. It wasn't common for either of these laxatives to be administered before an ordinary enema, it certainly wasn't unheard of either. Castor oil was much slower working and was mostly given to everyone in the early sfternoon for spring and fall flushings, followed by enemas after dinner. I did get a number of epsom salts laxatives when I got home from school if my mom decided I was constipated, but it seemed my father got more than anyone else. When he'd come home from work and complain that he was backed up, Mom would mix up a full glass of epsom salts for him. He seemed so willing to drink it all while I always struggled even with just half a glass. Our enemas then ame after dinner when Mom had finished the dishes but she wanted to administer them before the laxative fully functioned. I always loved it how my dad followed her to the bathroom like us chldren did when she said it was time for his enema.

No, it isnt. Otherwise you would get the runs after eating anything for which baking soda was used in baking process. I dont know whar exactly is baking soda (I suppose a sodium carbonate), but Epsom salt in Germany "Glaubersalz" was produced by Dr.Glauber first of slat and sulphuric acid (the other product of this is hydrocloric acid called "Salzsäure" - meaning salt acid - in German).

NO!!!!!!
Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate.
It IS readily available in the US, because it has uses in relieving the swelling in sprains and strains. It is also used in gardening in some parts of the country.
The directions include use as an oral laxative but not as an enema. I never could stand to drink the stuff, but it does make a good enema!
Any drug store has it!
Just be careful, the difference between a strong purge, and an overdose is rather narrow!
