Enemas are known to be one of the easiest and most effective ways of getting your colon cleaned and can even relieve of eliminate stomach issues. The procedure is extremely easy, but one should be educated on how to do so before trying because the colon is an extremely delicate and absorbant body part.
The procedure is best described as the act of putting a fluid into the rectum and colon via the anus. Before inserting the fluid it is wise to use a lubricant around the anus, we recommend using olive oil because most lubricants contain some really nasty chemicals.
The benefits of performing an enema are:
- Removal of toxins
- Reduction in headaches
- Reduction of junk along the intestinal walls
- Better overall health
The reasons to perform an enema:
- Better digestive functions
- Relief of constipation
- Relief from hemorrhoids and colitis
- Removal of bowel blockage
We recommend not using commercial or retail enema solutions even if they say "natural". The best advice is to buy a reusable enema and make your own solutions. Here are our favorite:
Vinegar Enema
Combine 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with 2 quarts of lukewarm water. You can also use wheat grass in the mixture.
Salt and Soda Enema
Combine 1 tablespoon of sea salt, 1 tablespoons of baking soda, and 2 quarts of lukewarm water. This is a great way to remove toxins that are directly present in your colon.
Milk Enema
Combine 1.5 quarts of lukewarm water, 18 ounces of lukewarm milk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and one tablespoon of honey (optional). Heat this mixture and be sure it is well stirred.
Glycerin and Oil Enema
Combine 1.5 quarts of warm water, 2 tablespoons of mineral oil, 2 tablespoons of sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of glycerin. This is mainly a colon cleansing enema but also can remove many toxins. The saltwater is used to keep the absorption of the oil and glycerin to a minimum so they can clean the colon and exit along with the rest of the solution.
Garlic Enema
Chop 3 cloves of garlic in 2 quarts of water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes, once finished add 2 tablespoons of epsom salt to the mixture. When the mixture has cooled to be lukewarm you can perform enema.
Lemon Enema
Combine 1/3 cup of lemon juice (FRESH) and 1 quart of lukewarm water. This is an excellent cleansing enema but can induce cramping.
Salt Enema
Adding salt to lukewarm water reduces the amount of water absorbed thus increasing the cleansing action. By using salt you reduce the amount of water absorbed by the kidneys, bladder, and intestines.
Coffee Enema
This type of enema is mainly used to detoxify the liver because the caffeine from the coffee is directly absorbed into the patient's system. This forces the liver to create more bile that is later flushed out of the system by the small intestines. Patients should use regular coffee and not the instant kind.
We recommend using a french press but you can use a drip coffee maker but be sure to use non-bleached coffee filters.
- Bring 8 cups to a boil
- Put 8 heaping spoonfuls of organic coffee in the french press
- Pour boiling water over the grinds
- Let cool for one hour
- Once the mixture is at body temperature or lukewarm press the grinds and pour the coffee into enema bag
