Many people are frightened by the thought of giving themselves an enema. There is the thought that enemas may be dangerous or some kind of strange fetish. Enemas are safe and can greatly assist in detoxification and healing.
What is an enema?
An enema is a process where a fluid (usually water) is put into the rectum and colon via the anus to remove old feces and toxins. The enema will help clear the bowel, induce better functioning of the bowel and provide therapeutic benefits.
Enemas can provide immediate relief for constipation and greatly accelerate detoxification and the healing process.
Different kinds of enemas
A basic enema is purified water but you can add many other things to your enema to get the desired results
Water enema
Use purified water—not tap water – it is best to use water that is around the temperature of the water – retain as long as possible
Coffee enema
Take ¼ cup of organic coffee (not instant coffee or Starbucks) soaked in 2 quarts of purified water overnight- strain – do a warm water enema first to clear the bowel or colonic before the coffee enema- the coffee will be warm not hot — place the strained two quarts of coffee in the enema bag- try to hold for 12 – 20 minutes then release.
It is not easy to hold the coffee enema for 20 minutes – try elevating the hips and deep breathing.
A coffee enema helps in detoxification of the liver. The caffeine in coffee is directly absorbed into the liver to detoxify it from the toxins.
Since coffee is a stimulant, the enema mixture is absorbed into the body through the hemorrhoidal vein and directly into the liver, therefore speeding up the detoxification process. Coffee enemas are introduced into the colon and draws any compacted matter in this essential part of the intestinal system. When the enema is voided from your system, all the toxins, compounds, and other matter exits the body naturally.
Wheat grass enema
Add 2 -4 ounces of wheat grass juice to your water enema
This is a retention enema – do a water enema first and then do the wheat grass enema and retain it for 12- 20 minutes
Wheat grass implant
After a water enema – use you enema bag to put 2- 4 ounces of wheat grass undiluted into your colon – try and retain as long as possible
Wheatgrass enemas and implants have many benefits including:
- liver cleansing -cleansing the body of toxins – purifying the blood
- cleanses toxins from the lymph system
Urine enema
You will need to collect at least 8 ounces of your own urine. The urine can then be either implanted into the colon after a water enema or combined with warm purified water. Try and retain the urine as long as possible. If you are on heavy medications, I would not recommend any type of urine therapy as you will be reintroducing these medications.
The urine enema is not dangerous or unsanitary and is very cleansing and can help stimulate the immune system.
Herbal tea enemas
Soak 1 tablespoon of herb overnight in a two quarts of water. You can use a variety of herbs to achieve different results.
Chamomile – relaxation
Plantain – anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial
Pleurisy Root – expectorant – causes sweating
Thyme – antioxidant – anti-bacterial
Hyssop – respiratory
Mint – soothing
Yellow Dock – blood purifier
Mullein – soothing
Echinacea – boost immunity
Dandelion – cleanse liver
Parsley – diuretic
How to give yourself an enema
An enema can be done in the privacy of your own bathroom. To begin, you will need to get an enema bag and hose. Most of them are 64 ounce bags or buckets with a 3 – 4 foot hose and a tip for insertion into the anus. At the end of the hose you will need to attach the tip. These are generally white and 2-3 inches long. This is the part that enters your rectum. You will need some lubricant for the tube to allow it to slide in easily. Any lubricating oil that is edible, like olive oil or flax oil is recommended. Do not use petroleum jellies they are caustic and can burn the rectal tissue.
To further aid the detoxification process you may want to place a heating pad or a hot water bottle over the liver area. You can do this for 15 minutes before your enema. Lie on your back, relax and breathe.
You will be using distilled or filtered water for your enemas as the water in your tap contains harmful chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride and heavy metals. Distilled water is preferred, because it draws out the toxins. You want the temperature of the water to be about the same temperature as your body (98.6F degrees). Warm the water up on the stove in a stainless steel pot, checking the temperature of the water with your finger. When it is too hot for your finger you know it is too hot for your colon.
Fill the bag or bucket with the warm water. Position the bag or bucket about 3-4 feet high. On the hose coming out of the bucket you will find a clip to help you stop the flow of water. Spread a towel on the floor to lie on. If you are worried about making a mess (and it happens to the best of us) you can put some plastic over the towel. Make the experience as pleasant as possible. Turn off the phone, lock the bathroom door, put a do not disturb sign on the bathroom door, light some candles, burn some incense, play some soft music and relax. This is your time.
To make the enemas easier each step of the process is numbered:
Position yourself, lying on your left side.
Open the clip on the catheter to release air. Lubricate the catheter tip.
Lubricate your anus.
Slowly, insert the lubricated catheter tip
Take a breath.
Open the clip and allow the water to flow (count 1-2-3). *Sometimes, it is necessary to adjust the catheter to assure flow. Then close the clip.
Gently massage the left side of your abdomen.
Insert the catheter a little deeper and open the clip (count 1-10). Then close the clip.
Again, gently massage the left side of the abdomen, breath and relax.
Open the clip until the bag has emptied or until the feeling of fullness.
Close the clip and continue to breathe and massage your abdomen.
While lying hold for 5 minutes. If it becomes uncomfortable move to the toilet and release.
Stay on the toilet until the fluid is released (be patient with yourself, it may come in waves).
Remember stay close to home for at least an hour because you never know if you have released all of the fluid and you don’t want to be caught to far away form a toilet.
