Castro-oil is not a product you purchase from Auto Zone or NAPA Auto Parts. Further if you are fifty years old or younger, the product is probably foreign to you.
As you are aware all the symptons for Covid, the flu, common cold, Delta and Omicron are very similar. Having followed all the precautions for the above, my better half decides in our best interest maybe we need to purchase some cold and flu medications. To escape a case of cabin fever, I volunteered with instructions on brand names, aisle, were they four hour, eight hour, twelve hour, or good until your next birthday. And ask the pharmacist if it counteracts with any meds. you are taking.
When I get to the proper aisle the shelves are as empty as the bread and milk shelves when an inch of snow if predicated for the South. Like an NFL football player falling on a fumble in the super bowl, I grabbed the first box that read, ” good for flu and cold”. Making a mad dash to the register, I yelled to the pharmacist, ” can I take these with blood pressure med.”? I think she said, ” read the label”. Arriving home I offered my find like a sacrifice to my better half. ” you realize this is two capsules every four hours. Did they not have the twelve hour”?
Yesteryear in my small home town, your medicine cabinet consisted of two products, alcohol and Castro-Oil, one size fits all. Castro-Oil was used for the following: pink eye, sore throat, ear ache, poison ivy, cuts, broken fingers, the flu, colds, measles, chicken pox, by now you get the picture.
Once you were forced to swallow a large tablespoon, it would stick to your throat like a tick on a hound dog. And yes I did read the label on the modern day med. to see it contained Castor-Oil as an ingredient, thank goodness NO. However I am getting up every four hours to take the required dosage. Did I say there are twenty capsules per package.
Be safe.
