Coffee Enema
TO START YOU NEED:
– AN ENEMA CONTAINER – 2-quart enema bag, plastic or stainless steel bucket with a clamp. The bags are sold at drug stores. I personally use a silicone enema bag with silicone tubing and love it!
– ORGANIC GREEN COFFEE – Buy organic ground green coffee. I use S. A. Wilson’s Organic Enema Coffee.
PREPARATION OF INGREDIENTS:
– FRENCH PRESS METHOD- Place 4 tablespoons of green coffee in a french press, and pour over 4 cups of boiling purified water. stir, let steep for 15 minutes, then press, and allow to cool to a comfortable temperature – no cooler than 98 degrees.
– BOILING METHOD – Place 4 cups of purified water and three large tablespoons of coffee in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. One or two ice cubes may be added to speed the cooling process. You may make a larger quantity and use it for several enemas. Wait until the water is comfortable to the touch. If the water is too hot or too cold, retaining the enema will be more difficult. Strain the liquid through a fine strainer, nut milk bag, or coffee filter paper into a clean enema bag. Screw on the top of the enema bag. The enema is now ready.
PREPARING EQUIPMENT:
– PREPARE CONTAINER HOSES – Be sure the silicone/plastic hose is pushed or fastened well onto the enema bag and the thin enema tip is attached to the other end
–REMOVE AIR – Remove any air from the enema tube the following way: Grasp but do not close the clamp on the hose. Place the tip in the sink. Hold up the enema bag above the tip until the water begins to flow out. Then close the clamp. This expels any air in the tube.
–LUBRICATE – Lubricate the enema tip with a small amount of soap or oil. I like to use castor or neem oil. (Too much lubrication will cause the tip to fall out of the rectum, creating a mess!).
TAKING THE ENEMA:
– POSITION – The position preferred by most people is lying on one’s back on a yoga mat covered with a towel, on the bathroom floor, or in the bathtub. An alternative is sitting on the toilet, which does not give as much gravity feed. I personally find lying on my right side on the floor not too far from the toilet to be the most comfortable.
– PLACE CONTAINER ABOVE – With the clamp closed, hang the bag from a hook, towel rack…
– INSERT – Insert the tip gently and slowly. Move it around until it goes all the way in.
– OPEN FLOW – Open the clamp. The water may take a few seconds to begin flowing. If the water does not flow, you may gently squeeze the bag. If you develop a cramp, close the hose clamp, turn from side to side and take a few deep breaths. The cramp will usually pass quickly.
– WHEN FULL -When all the liquid is inside, the bag will become flat or the container will be empty. Close the clamp. You can leave the tube inserted, or remove it slowly.
– RETAIN THE ENEMA FOR 15 MINUTES – See below if you have difficulties with this. You may remain lying on the floor. Use the time to read a book, meditate, etc. Tun off your phone! Some people are able to get up and go lie on a towel in bed, instead of on the floor. Walking around the house with the coffee inside is not recommended.
If you do remain on the floor, which is typically what I do, then once the liquid is all inserted, then you can slowly move onto your back, with your knees up, and then onto your left side.
FINISHING UP:
After 15 minutes or so, go to the toilet and empty out the coffee. It is okay if some coffee remains inside.
– WASH EQUIPMENT – Wash the enema bag or container and tube thoroughly.
FURTHER HINTS:
– DO 2 CLEANSING ENEMAS FIRST – To make it easier to do the retention enema/coffee enema do two low enemas ( 16 oz of water) back to back and then the coffee enema to ensure the bowels are as empty as possible. For the first enema heat to approximately body temperature 16oz plain filtered water. For the second cleansing enema heat 16 oz of water with 1.2 tsp of nonionized salt.
– DEALING WITH GAS – If intestinal gas is a problem, some exercise before the enema may eliminate the gas.
– FILLING UP – It is not essential but is helpful if the water fills the entire colon. You can assist by first lying on your right side for 5 minutes, then on your back for 5 minutes, and then on your left side for 5 minutes.
– MASSAGE – If water will not flow around the entire colon, you may gently massage your abdomen.
– LONGER TUBE – Some people attach a 30-inch colon tube to the tip of the enema tube, and insert the tube so the water will reach the right side of the colon.
–SLOW FLOW- allow the coffee enema to slowly fill the colon, to avoid getting bloated or cramping. I take sometimes 20 minutes to just release the 32oz of coffee into my colon.
FINAL SUGGESTIONS:
– PATIENCE – Be patient as practice makes perfect.
– TEMPERATURE – The water may be too hot or too cold. Be sure the water temperature is comfortable.98 degrees is ideal.
– STAY COMFORTABLE – It may help to place a small pillow or rolled-up towel under your buttocks so the water flows downhill into your colon. I also like a small pillow under my head, and a sarong or sheet to cover me to stay warm.
