Colonics vs. Enemas

I mean, really, what’s the difference? I, too, thought they were the same thing…not so! Here are the main differences between colonics and enemas:

• Colonics deal with multiple infusions of water into the colon. Enemas, on the other hand, only deal with one infusion.
• Colonics cleanse the entire colon, while enemas cleanse the lower portion, the sigmoid, and part of the descending colon.
• Colonics must be administered by trained professionals and utilize professional equipment. Enemas, on the other hand, do not have to be administered by an expert. Enema kits are available for purchase online and in many drugstores.
• During a colonic, fecal matter is evacuated through a tube. After the colonic is completed, the person receiving the colonic will sit on the toilet and pass any residual stools and/or water. On the other hand, with an enema, all of the fecal matter is disposed of in the toilet.

 

Time for More Fun and Exciting Enema Recipes!

So I’m all about checking out new enema recipes…namely because I’m a weird-o who’s fascinating with all things colon-related. But you all knew that, didn’t you?

So here are a few more enema recipes to think about when it’s time to enjoy your enema:

1. Phospho-Soda Enema

This enema solution includes 1.5 fluid ounces of Phospho-Soda (a laxative that you can purchase at the drug store) with two quarts of water. Phospho-Soda promotes good bowel movements.

2. The Infamous Coffee Enema

The coffee enema is extremely popular, as the coffee helps to rid your liver and large intestine of toxins. Simple use one tablespoon of coffee grounds that have already been brewed per quart of water. Use an enema bag with a larger nozzle so that those pesky grounds can get through.

3. Epsom Salt Enema

This is another very popular enema. Just use two tablespoons of Epsom Salts per quart of water. The salts have a laxative effect and help to cleanse more thoroughly.

4. Milk and Honey Enema

Honey helps irritable bowels, and this mixture is fairly gentle. Simply use 16 oz. of warm milk, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 ½ quarts of warm water.

Cleaning Up After Your First Enema

So, you’ve tried your first enema. Congratulations! How did it go?

Now it’s time to get all of your stuff cleaned up. Follow these tips to ensure that clean-up goes as smoothly as possible:

• Baby wipes will certainly come in handy. They’re great for cleaning up any accidents or issues you may have along the way.
• To sanitize your enema bag and tips, use a bleach solution of one tablespoon of bleach to one quart of water. Be sure to rinse off the equipment before and after cleaning with the bleach solution.
• Sanitizing your equipment with boiling water is another option.
• Never share your enema bag, and don’t use it for anything else.
• Hang your enema bag to dry. This will reduce the possibility of mold growth.
• Wash any linens used with bleach.

Three Tips for Creating a Positive Experience During Your First Enema

Enemas are scary for first-timers. We’ve all heard how uncomfortable they are, and so it’s natural to be nervous the first time. By following these tips, you can ensure that your first enema will be comfortable and positive.

1. Keep an eye on your solution’s temperature. The ideal temp to use is 102 degrees. If it’s too cold, you could experience cramping; if it’s too hot, you could feel a burning sensation.

2. Keep it simple the first time. Don’t try any complicated solutions—just stick with water.

3. Don’t be discouraged. Most enema bags hold two quarts, which is a lot of liquid. If you can’t process all two quarts, don’t feel bad! This isn’t a competition. It’s an enema.

What tips would you give to first-timers?

Use These Tips to Have a Comfortable First Enema

Are you getting ready for your first enema? Are you looking forward to insertion and administration? Probably not. These tips will help to make your first enema as comfortable as possible.

• Get into a comfortable position. Make sure that you or the person administering the enema has access to your bum. Also be sure that a quick clean-up is possible if an accident happens.
• Lube it up. Lubricate your anus generously. You may want to massage some lubricant inside your anus as well.
• Relax as the nozzle is inserted. Take several deep breaths.
• Communicate with your partner. If cramping occurs or you feel as though you are going to evacuate during the enema, ask your partner to stop the flow so that you can breathe deeply and massage your tummy.
• When you do decide that it’s time for evacuation (what a nice way to say it…), keep the tube in place until you are in a position to evacuate.

 

Administering an Enema? Follow These Tips

Are you going to be helping a friend or loved one with their first enema? You are such a good person. If you’re inexperienced at administering enemas, the following tips can help to make it a hassle-free experience for both you and the recipient.

• Lubricate your partner’s anus/rectum—or have him/her lubricate their own. Be sure that the interior of the anus gets lubricated well. I hear that a finger works just fine.
• If you lubricated your partner’s bum, then you shouldn’t have a hard time inserting the nozzle. You’ll know how much pressure is required.
• Hang up the enema bag about 1 or 1 ½ feet above your partner’s bum.
• Slowly open up the clamp. Never try to give the entire enema all at once. All in all, the procedure can take up to 15 minutes.
• Watch your partner for signs of cramping. If cramping does occur, slow the flow until the cramping passes.
• Listen to your partner.
• Massage your partner’s belly. This will encourage even more cleansing.
• Have an evacuation plan. You should most likely carry the bag for your partner until they reach the toilet or tub.

Choose Your Position…

No, I’m not talking about that kind of position! Get your minds out of the gutter. This is about enemas.

 When you participate in an enema, there are four different positions that you can use:

1. Knee-chest position: This is where you are on your elbows and knees with your head facing down and your bum up in the air. All of you gutter-minds will know this one as “doggie style”.

2. Left side position: Lie on your left side, with your right leg bent towards your chest. Your left leg should be kept straight.

3. Over the knee position. If a partner is helping you with your enema, you can lie across his or her lap. However, some find that this position puts too much pressure on the stomach. Just do whatever feels comfortable.

4. On your back position: Lie on your back, knees bent and together, with your feet apart.

 All of these positions offer comfort and necessary accessibility.

 

It’s My First Enema…What Do I Need?

So you’ve decided to try out an enema at home. Good for you! The benefits that come with enemas are countless. Here’s a list of things you’ll need to have before you begin your enema:

 

• Somewhere you can get comfortable that also allows for easy clean-up, such as your bathtub.
• An enema bag, complete with a hemostat or clamp.
• A thermometer.
• Lubricant, such as Astroglide or KY Jelly.
• Tap water.
• A nearby toilet.
• A place to hang the enema bag one to two feet above where your bum will be.
• Rubber gloves.
• Candles are nice and help to create a relaxing mood.
• Bleach to clean your enema bag (if it is reusable).
