A PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL Why Your Doctor Prescribes Nujol for Constipation LAXATIVES can very easily do a great Nujol can do no harm, because it is not absorbed into the system, but acts simply as a mechanical lubricant. Laxatives give only a temporary relief, and by their after-effects aggravate the very condition they are meant to cure.

Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity.
