Colonic Irrigation

Colonic Irrigation is a therapy for colon cleansing which works by removing all putrefying matter from the colon including mucoid plague that has coated the intestinal walls.

Colonic Irrigation Can Be Performed In 2 Ways:

(1) By administering a rectal enema.

(2) By colon hydrotherapy.

Steps To Perform A Rectal Enema:

(1) Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to 2 to 3 quarts of relatively warm water.

(2) Fill this solution into an enema bag.

(3) Place the enema bag about 3 feet above the body by hanging it along the wall or toilet door.

(4) Lie yourself in a bath tub filled with warm water but with the rectum elevated. You could also lie in a bed with a plastic sheet underneath you.

(5) Lubricate the inside of the rectum with petroleum jelly.

(6) Insert the rectal tip slowly making sure that you do not experience any pain or discomfort. Stop immediately if you should feel any pain and do not push in any further.

(7) Once you feel increasing pressure from the first lot of solution in your intestines expel it.

(8) Repeat Step (7) and when pressure is felt again, stop the water inflow and lying in a different position such as to your right. This is for the purpose of getting the solution into the ascending colon.

(9) Repeat the entire procedure until all of the solution has been used up.

The purpose of adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is to neutralize an over-acidic bowel. Salt helps prevent the loss of minerals from the body. As a cautionary note, those with high blood pressure should not add salt and baking powder to the enema solution.

Coffee Enema

Many people today are using coffee enema for the stimulation and detoxification of the liver.

Steps to prepare a coffee enema:

(1) Boil 2 tablespoons of ground coffee with a quart of water for 3 minutes.

(2) Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes and strain the solution.

(3) The coffee enema is used as an enema for retention within the colon. Hold it inside your colon for 10 to 20 minutes before expulsion.

(4) Do not use coffee enema if you are allergic to it.

Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy is usually done in a clinic specializing in such procedures. The colon hydrotherapy process involves the client lying on a bed-like table, facing upwards. Warm water is slowly infused into the colon via the rectum with the aid of a disposable speculum that is attached to a professional equipment manufactured solely for colon hydrotherapy.

The warm water entering the colon causes peristalsis, which are contractions of the involuntary muscles in the intestinal walls.

As a result, both feces and water are expelled through a clear drainage hose which is connected directly to the colon hydrotherapy machine. Being a closed system, there is no foul odour whatsoever.

It is important to note that only certified, trained and experienced colon hydrotherapists be engaged since the correct operation of the colon hydrotherapy equipment is crucial.

Colon hydrotherapy has the ability to perform colon cleansing of the entire length of the colon whereas rectal enema can only provide colon cleanse up to the descending and sigmoid colon.

People having certain conditions of the colon such as ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, crohn's disease and those with intestinal tumors and cancers should not have colon hydrotherapy performed on them as it may cause serious medical complications.
