Mineral oil as laxative

According to the officials, back in the 1919, the pace at which this variety of oil (also known as the petrolatum) had taken over the world was simply astonishing. Today, this oil is known to occupy the top spot on the list of most employed substances, for medicinal purposes as well.

Petrolatum

Petrolatum represents a liquid bland substance that has no color, taste, and odor. Other propertiesthat characterize it are that it is impossible to digest and cannot be decomposed by bacteria either. The direct conclusion that can be derived from this is that this oil cannot become rancid. Since it is not absorbed, any side effects such as poisoning are simply not possible. When it comes to its effectiveness for medicinal purposes, it is known to be helpful and effective in the case of spastic constipation (refers to the intestinal spasms), since it relieves and decreases the irritation, bringing it under control.

Paraffin oil

In case of this variety of oil, it is known that it is characterized by the quality of being an extremely active solvent of the poisonous waste, thus absorbing quite a significant amount of the toxins that can be found inside the person’s intestinal tract. If a person in question decides upon this oil, he/she should take it in the amount of half an ounce at bedtime, as well as half as much more one hour prior to every meal. If adhered diligently to this regime, in just a matter of days, what will occur is the big change in putrefactive condition. When it comes to hemorrhoids, its effectiveness has also been confirmed. What will find a tremendous approval among many people is the fact that all the benefits it abounds in will not be affected and will not diminish in case the oil is continuously employed for quite some time.

One major downside to it is that this variety of oil abounds in substances that can be brought into direct relation with anthracene – hydrocarbon extracted from tar of the coal, which belongs to the group of substances that are regarded as fully capable of inducing cancer in a person in question.
