Enema and Douche Bag
By Cat, Sept 2008 (Image, right, from Amazon (17)
The enema is an ancient healing method, many believe that all disease begins in the gut, and an enema is a good place to start.

Cautions:
- Do not use enemas for weight control.
- While enemas can be very helpful in helping you to detox or relieve constipation, if not done slowly and properly and with clean equipment, they can cause serious problems.
- If you are very constipated, or if you have diverticulitis, please seek the assistance of a medical professional.

Considerations
While enemas can be very helpful for detox or to relieve constipation, if not done slowly and properly and with clean equipment, they can cause serious problems.
If you are very constipated, or if you have diverticulitis, please seek the assistance of a medical professional.
Always go slowly; do not force the fluid into your colon. If you encounter resistance to water flow, stop the slow and gently massage your abdomen and try again; repeat as necessary.
Always consult a medical professional if you are severely constipated, before performing an enema. And in the future, don’t allow yourself to get so constipated, by using a gentle enema at the first sign of constipation, or by taking herbs for constipation.
Purging
I am not a doctor and am not qualified to advise you on your specific health situation. My intent is merely to raise awareness and express opinion.
Purging means getting rid of what you don’t want. You would use a purging enema to get rid of parasites that reside in the colon, such as pinworms, infectious and other bacteria that are not native to the colon, and candida albicans.
Most astringent enemas are also purging. And some others are purging without being astringent, such as the Garlic & Epsom Salt Enema (below).
Coffee is also purging in an enema (see Coffee enema).
Garlic-Epsom Salt Enema instructions
Precaution: This enema is very purging. Use no more than twice during a fast. Good treatment for pinworms and threadworms in the large intestine.
Recipe:
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 quarts filtered water
- 2 Tbsp Epsom salt
- Combine garlic and water in saucepan and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Strain if desired. Stir in Epsom salt and allow to cool to 110 – 118 degrees F, then pour into enema bag.
- Hang bag in prepared spot and insert enema tip (use a bit of soap to lubricate it). Allow fluid to flow into bowel, massaging abdomen in counter-clockwise direction (up left side, across top, down right side, across bottom).
- Remove tip; lie on floor or in bed on right side for 5 minutes, massaging abdomen; roll over to left side for another 5 minutes, continuing to massage abdomen. Then expel into toilet.
