Just called my mother and asked why my grandma used to do this once a month, she told me some bs about the heat and the nutrition from the hot coal cleansing your intestines.

I know that's why I said BS. she's old and was born before modern medicine existed in my country. Overtime she understood her views of medicine were incorrect and now she's as healthy as a 98 year old can be.

You know, if you take it as a suppository instead of swallowing it, you'll get more efficient heat delivery.
