FAQ
Q: What is the « irreversible » body reaction this combo triggers?
A: When used properly, it can stimulate detoxification, improve bowel movements, reduce inflammation, and balance gut flora — leading to noticeable, lasting improvements in energy, digestion, and skin. For some, these results feel like a full-body “reset.”
Q: Is it safe to consume castor oil regularly?
A: No. Castor oil is a powerful laxative and should only be taken occasionally (1–2 times per week max). Overuse can lead to dehydration or digestive distress.
Q: Can this help with joint pain or inflammation?
A: Yes, the anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting effects of both ingredients make this combo great for joint pain when applied topically.
Q: Does it help with weight loss or bloating?
A: Indirectly. By improving digestion, reducing water retention, and supporting liver detox, some users notice decreased bloating and water weight.
Q: Are there any side effects or risks?
A: Some people may experience nausea, cramping, or allergic reactions. Always start with small doses, and consult a healthcare provider if you have preexisting conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medication.
