An enema review for dummies will explain the colon cleaning procedure. The colon is the part of the large intestine. Food travels from the stomach to the intestine. From the small intestine, food reaches the large intestine. The rest of the food is absorbed and pushed down to the rectum for elimination in the colon.
Why do we need an enema review for dummies?
A sedentary life, processed food, and drugs cause the malfunction of the colon. Food can not be adequately absorbed. Food starts to ferment, sticks on the colon walls, and remains as the layer. The diameter of the colon becomes narrow and does not freely remove waste from the body.
Constipation, diarrhea, intestinal gas, and anal disorders can bother us because the colon can not function properly. The enema helps to get rid of stuck waste.
The enema review for dummies
When is the best time to clean the colon?
The morning after bowel movement is the best time to perform the enema. A healthy snack is recommended before an enema because the blood sugar must be balanced.
How to prepare an enema kit?
Before usage, it is advisable to wash all enema kit components with hot water. The enema kit made from silicon can be placed in boiling water for 5 minutes in the same way as eggs. I am just joking about eggs.
How to prepare for an enema?
- Choose an area where you will be safe and comfortable. The bathroom suits you best. You can lie down on the floor, on the soft mat, or in the bathtub.
- Enema Bag or Enema Bucket works best when it is 18-30 inches above the anus. You can hang the Enema Bag or Bucket on the doorknob or the big hanger.
- The water for the enema solution must be filtered. Distilled or reverse osmosis water is the option for the enema.
- The enema solution must be warm. Temperature is best between 98 and 100 Fahrenheit. Over 100 Fahrenheit degrees is too hot for the body.
- Add a teaspoon of natural sea salt to each quart of water.
- During enema time, you have a book or listen to music.
- Turn off the phone and look at the doors.

Tubing
You see that this particular colon tube does not require an insertion tip. The water flows into the colon through tiny holes on the side.

Filling and preparing an enema kit
- Prepare the Enema Kit over the sink if the solution can spill out.
- Slide the enema rolling clamp close to the enema tubing with the tip.
- Lock clamp that solution would not go out from the tube through the tip.
- Fill the Enema Bag or Bucket with filtered water or enema solution. The water must be warm, between 98 and 100 Fahrenheit. Do not exceed 100 Fahrenheit.
- Over the sink, unlock the rolling clamp-keeping tube with the tip higher than the Enema Bag. The air will escape from the Bag through the line. When the solution is free from air bubbles, lock the clamp again.
- You can hang or place the Enema Bucket on the stool, chair, or doorknob. Most importantly, Enema Bucket or Bag would be 18-30 inches above the anus.
- Check if the Enema Bag or Bucket was placed safely. You don’t need to fall or overtake accidentally.
Best body positions
It depends on the different body positions and how deep the enema solution will reach the colon.
According to the doctor Benjamin Lynch, there are positions for standard enemas.
Laying on the back
Lay in the bathtub on your back. The enema solution enters the colon quickly and can cause cramps. This place is recommended for advanced users only.
Laying on the left side with the left leg straight
The right leg is bent at 45 percent at the knee. The left leg is straight. This position is comfortable for general users because the enema solution reaches the colon slowly.
Laying on the left side with both knees drawn upon the chest
This position lets the enema solution reach depths in the colon. The solution reaches the top of the descending colon, and when you roll over, the answer goes across the transverse colon and down into the ascending colon.
Standing on hands and knees
Everybody who does not have knee pain can use this position. It is best to use the mat, where you go down on your hands and knees. Sit your buttocks down on the back of your legs. Then lean forward till the forehead, hands, and forearms are on the mat. Lift your buttocks about 6 inches from the ankles.
I want to call this position a Tigers pose. It is easy to perform and control the flow of the solution.
Laying on the right side with both knees drawn to the chest
This position lets keep the enema solution deep down in the sigmoid colon.
In action now
When the enema solution is prepared, we have an Enema Kit, and the body position is chosen, we can have some fun. The lubricated enema tip must be gently and carefully inserted into the anus. No force, no rush. Listen please to your feelings. If you feel that the enema solution flows too fast, you can roll the enema clamp back, slowing the flow. You can regulate the process by yourself.
The enema solution will go into the colon smoothly. If you have cramps or pain, immediately stop and lock the clamp.
Breathing and relaxing help remove tension, especially if you have an enema for the first time.
You can see when all solutions go into your colon when the tube is empty and the bag or bucket is without the solution.
People can feel that the enema tip wants to slip out. You can hold the tip or take it out. It is highly advisable not to use anal sphincter muscles for storing in the enema nozzle or colon tube. If you keep closing the tip, it can prevent relaxation and prompt faster elimination of the enema solution.
If you have problems slipping out before time, the PurEnema Retention Enema Tip comes to help.
How long to keep the enema solution?
When you feel that it is time to evacuate, you can take the enema tip carefully out. Usually, the enema solution stays for about 5 to 15 minutes. Sometimes, it can rush out because of factors such as low electrolytes, medication, weak adrenals, or low blood sugar can cause you to lose balance and you need to reach for the toilet.
The evacuation
The enema solution will evacuate when you sit on the toilet. It is advisable to sit on the toilet with both feet above the ground on a stool or platform about 6 to 12 inches tall. This position relaxes pelvic floor muscles and allows the enema solution and seat efficiently evacuated to the toilet.
You will feel better when you finish your business. During the day can be more bowel movements. Do not force yourself to push out more enema solutions.
If your stool the next day is firm, you must drink more water with electrolytes and eat salad.
If you retain the enema solution quickly, you could repeat the enema.
After the enema, you will feel lighter and more comfortable.
Who cannot use the enema?
People who have the following medical conditions:
- Pregnancy
- Intestinal blockage
- Kidney disease
- Appendicitis
- Heart Disease
- High Blood Pressure
- Rectal Bleeding
- Acute Diverticulitis
Warning!
Individuals who have symptoms such as bleeding, nausea, fever, vomiting, weakness, dehydration, or abdominal pain can not use the enema.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can not use enema without the permission of a health professional.
If you have enemas too often, the functions of the bowels can be lost. Children and senior citizens can have enemas with the approval of the physician.
The enema review for dummies conclusion
The enema review for dummies shows that enema is a simple way to help the body get rid of toxins and waste. It is easy to perform. The enema does not have side effects if you follow instructions and ask for advice from an intelligent health practitioner. Some people could think that the enema is something disgusting. Unfortunately, if you are not the baby, you live a sedentary life, consume casual food without vital nutrients, and have additional waste that travels with you without leaving. People who are conscious about their well-being use enemas when they feel a need. Lightness and comfort will follow when your body empties from the long-standing waste. The enema review for dummies shows a simple way to rid of toxins and waste.
Hi Nemira,
I found your post very helpful. I remember in past I was looking for that kind of information and was hard to find. I’m interesting about how often you can have enema? Some people are saying that enema is washing away the colon “fauna”? What do you think about it?
Hello here. You do not need to take every day enema because if your colon start work properly and you go to the place where kings go at least once a day without any effort, you are fine. Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. in her Wellness program told that after bowel movement it is right to check how it looks. The consistency of stools need to resemble a banana: shape and how it is hard or soft it is. The ripe banana works well.
Gut bacteria would be happy to have clean environment because who wants to be in hot oven? Imagine when food stays long time and sticks to walls? It is fermented, the temperature goes up, plenty of gas and so on. No in to be here and flourish. We need good bacteria not yeast or other who make harm to us.
With enemas good bacteria does not go out. If you would do colon irrigation it would be different because the intestine is washed as the dish.
With enemas you reach just few parts of the colon. The colon is just a part of the larg intestine. Be well, all the best, Nemira
Hi Nemira, thanks for this information. I’ve been curious about enemas for about a year now but have been hesitant to looking further into it. I was made to understand that they tend to disrupt the natural gut flora that helps us digest food efficiently, and thus thought that it might be ill-advised. I do agree however that with all the junk we consume, it’s very likely that we will retain waste. How does one deal with restoring a healthy balance to the gut bacteria that tend to get washed away with the enema?
If you consume plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts snd seeds, drink plenty of healthy liquid, you have plenty of good bacteria. During lifetime, on the walls of colon can be some waste. People whi have enemas do not lose bacterias because microbiome multiples pretty fast. You can take probiotics if you feel that you need better work for your bowels. You need to observe your body, how do you feel, how often you go. When you eat nutritious food, your gut bacteria flourishes on the same food. For example, yeast adores sugar. More sugary drinks, sweets, more bad bacteria we would have.
Enemas are not new procedures. They are simple and unharmful.
All the best, Nemira
This was some great information. I really liked the supplements that were suggested. And the instructions. I have looked for this info before and there was not a lot out there. So thank you! I will be bookmarking this page for future reference. And referring it to my friends. The True Fat Story was amazing and something everyone should read.
Hello, Vanessa. Enemas are old technique but people forgot it. You know that when lives are busy who is going to take time to take care of ourselves. I did not care about till I saw that my jeans are couple sizes smaller. I did not like it and started to look for informative articles from doctors and scientists.One thing what I like about enemas that it is easy to perform. I feel lighter after this . The force of gravitation weakens for me. Sometimes is good to listen advices from doctors.
All the best, Nemira
Funny I read this post today, as I was just discussing the value of an Enema with a friend earlier today. Very informative article, thanks for sharing. What would be a good Enema solution to use? I’ve heard coffee Enema’s are highly successful, but having never tried, I’m not sure. If you have any information, that would be great.
Hello here. Previously I did not thought about enemas too but after feeling fulfilled and constantly trying to get in my jeans I decided to try this simple procedure. The solution for enemas is distilled or filtered water with temperature of the body. You can add little bit of salt such as Himalayas or Celtic Sea salt. Coffee enemas are great, especially when somebody uses plenty of chemicals.Dr. Carolyn Dean recommends coffee enemas. I will add the link to the website where coffee enemas are described.
All the best, be healthy and wealthy, Nemira
