Enema Recipes: Easy to take and soothing

Easy to take & soothing enemas

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.

These enemas are the least resistant to the process. By that I mean: Your colon will naturally want to expel anything you put into it from the anus, because the colon’s muscular wall is designed to move contents only one way: out. But the colon tissue is more tolerant of some fluids than others, and these are included in this section. These fluids also tend to be soothing to an irritated colon.

Warm Water Enema Instructions

This enema is recommended for diarrhea, but can be used anytime. It is also used during the veggie-juice fast. In addition to removing toxins and relieving diarrhea, it also helps to re-hydrate the body, something that is important with diarrhea, or during illness.

1. Warm filtered water to 120° F. Pour 2 quarts of the warmed water into enema bag, Allow to cool to 105°. Hang in chosen spot. Insert tip (soap is a good lubricant), crouch so tip is about 2 – 3 feet below the bag, and allow fluid to flow into bowel, massaging abdomen to get all the fluid in.
2. Lie on floor/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.
3. Repeat with another 2 quarts of warm water, if desired.
   Follow with a probiotic retention/implant enema (see below).

Castile Soap Enema Instructions

This enema is recommended for constipation, and is the most common enema that hospital personnel are trained to do.

Recipe:

• 2 quarts filtered water,
• 2 -3 drops Dr. Bronners or other liquid castile soap; or 1 packet Castile enema soap. Do NOT use shampoo or liquid detergent for this enema; they are too harsh and can lead to soap-induced colitis. Use only high-quality liquid Castile soap

1. Warm water to 120° F. Pour 1 quart of warm water into enema bag; add castile soap, then add remaining water. Slosh bag to distribute the soap. Allow to cool to 105° F). Hang in chosen spot. Insert tip (soap is a good lubricant), crouch so tip is about 2 – 3 feet below the bag, and allow fluid to flow into my bowel.
2. If you are constipated, deliver only about a cup of solution at a time, until you have emptied your colon (the water runs out clear). For the first cup or so, don’t try to hold it more than 5 minutes before voiding.
3. If you are not constipated, lie on side and hold as long as possible, 10 – 15 minutes, massaging abdomen gently in large counter-clockwise circles. Then expel into toilet.
4. VERY IMPORTANT: Always follow a soapsuds enema with a clear water enema to ensure the soap has been rinsed out. Use warm water at body temperature (about 99 degrees F), and try to take an entire bagful (2 quarts) at once. If you have hard water, you can add some apple cider vinegar (1 – 3 tsp per quart of water), which will help remove any soap scum from your colon.

Salt or Salt-&-Soda Enema instructions

This is a good cleansing enema and also stimulates the lymph system. Good to do as a spring cleaning, tho I like to do twice a year (spring and fall), along with a salt and soda bath. It’s also fairly easy to retain – the salt and soda are soothing to the intestinal mucosa.

Recipe:

• 2 quarts filtered water,
• 1 Tbsp salt (I use unrefined sea salt such as Real Salt) Caution: Do Not Use iodized salt.
• 1 Tbsp baking soda (optional)

1. Warm water to 120° F. Stir in salt and soda until dissolved. Allow to cool to 105° – 110° F (it will cool further, to body temperature, in the bag). Fill bag and hang in chosen spot. Insert tip (soap is a good lubricant), crouch so tip is about 2 – 3 feet below the bag, and allow fluid to flow into my bowel.
2. If you are constipated, deliver only about a cup of solution at a time, until you have emptied your colon (the water runs out clear). For the first cup or so, don’t try to hold it more than 5 minutes before voiding.
3. If you are not constipated, lie on side and hold as long as possible, 10 – 15 minutes, massaging abdomen gently in large counter-clockwise circles. Then expel into toilet.
4. You can also take a salt and soda bath, to relieve symptoms during a cleanse: Mix ½ pound salt and ½ pound baking soda. Dissolve in hot bath water. Get into the bath and relax.

Revere Whistling Kettle

Cat’s note: Instead of using water-softened tap water, I use cold water from my filter as follows:

1. Pour 2 quarts filtered water into whistling kettle, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer.
2. Measure ½ Tbsp Real Salt into my glass quart measuring cup (with a cooking thermometer clipped to the inside);
3. Add about ¾ cup of the simmering water, then add cold filtered water to measure total of 1¾ cups and check temperature;
4. Add more hot/cold filtered water to total 1 quart and 120° F.
5. Pour this into my 2-quart enema bag (image, top of page);
6. Repeat steps 2 – 5.

Aloe Vera Enema instructions

Good healing treatment for inflammation of the bowel. (15)

Recipe:

• 1 cup pure aloe vera juice
• 1 – 1¼ quarts (4 – 5 cups) filtered water

1. Bring water to a simmer; allow to cool to 110 – 118 degrees F. Add aloe juice, then pour into enema bag.
2. 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).
3. Remove tip; lie 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.
