Talk:Washout (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Removed content

Jamaican culture:
In the Jamaican culture "washout" refers to a popular way of cleaning out one's system. It is a laxative purge that supposedly eliminates blockages and harmful waste from the system. For females, they are recommended that this is done monthly; it is scheduled around their menstrual cycle. Often the only medicinal essentials that a rural Jamaican home contains is some sort of purgative, such as: Epsom salts, cathartic herbs, or castor oil. These people also view life-supporting devices in hospitals (such as the nasogastric tube) to be mechanical washout cures. In this culture, the belief is that if you do not cleanse your insides then you will rot, leads them to these actions.

This content was removed from the washout where it no longer belongs. It doesn't belong on this dab page either according to WP:MOSDAB because it is not mentioned on any other wikipedia article. Since I cannot find a place I'll leave it here. France3470 16:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
