Hi Betsy, Herbally speaking, castor oil is cooling externally but heating internally. That is to say, it can cause inflammation and probably would be irritating to the bladder lesions if its effect even reached that far, but certainly would irritate the colon. It's a great laxative, but doesn't soothe the tissues internally as far as I know. Dr. Richard Schulze (American Botannical Pharmacy) makes a kidney/bladder tincture that might help.

Regarding the womans granddaughter, her behaviour that is limited only to her mother would suggest a discipline problem. However, the statment was made that the girl has been like this since childhood. The fact that her siblings are not noted to engage in this behaviour would point to perhaps some type of possible organic problem. Before attemptimg to establish disclipinary measures, I would want to rule out any possible chemical imbalance. My suggestion would be to have a complete evaluation including food allergies, yeast, thyroid, blood sugar etc. I had a friend who had two children ONe was very mild mannered and the other child was cross and behaviourly challanged. It took them several years to find out that she was severly hypoglycimic. Put on a proper diet, she is like a different child. This status and money issue with so many teenagers is another problem in itself. It is alot more prominant than it used to be and is a sad commentary of our materialistic society. I dont think that we as adults are setting a very good example for our young people. As a teacher for 20 years of young children, I do not observe that girls are any more mean than boys. It is equal amoung the sexes.The meaness is just manifested differently.Girls tend to be a bit more sophisticated in their behaviour at that age. I agree with the statment that it is very very important for involved adults to constantly and consistantly guide young children on how to be kind and remind them often of how much their behaviour affects others. INstead of being critical of young people, we need to be responsible in setting good examples for them and being accountable towards them. Last comment, Does someone know the benefits of taking a food grade castor oil supplement? I was thinking about using it to heal bladder lesions but dont know if it would actually be more irritating. The castor oil I purchased was for castor oil liver packs but is said to be edible.
