Warm-Water and Oil Enema

Warm Water Enema
Warm 4 cups of purified water and pour into the enema bucket. Right before you take the enema open the clamp on the hose and let the water flow to the end of tube, then close the clamp again (this expels the air from the hose that may potentially create air in the colon.)  Next, apply a small amount of oil, such as olive oil or castor oil to the anal area and on the tip of enema nozzle for ease of insertion.  An excellent position to do the enema is on your back (near a toilet) with a rolled towel or pillow under the pelvis.  Some individuals find it easier to take in the enema while on their knees with the head down toward the floor. The enema bucket should be hung on a towel rack, shower curtain rod, or bathroom counter so there is enough pressure for the fluid to flow into the colon.

Gently insert the enema nozzle fully into the rectum and slowly release the hose clamp to allow the liquid to begin to flow into the colon. (Often you will have the sensation of warm liquid gurgling or flowing into the colon.) If the flow seems too fast or you feel the urge to go, close the hose clamp; wait for a minute, then open the clamp again. The goal is to try to take in the entire enema, so you may need to close the clamp several times and take it slow; otherwise if you let the liquid rush in too quickly you may not be able to hold it.

Once the enema has completely emptied into the colon, close the clamp and remove the nozzle from the rectum. To get the enema farther up the colon, try doing a shoulder stand (bring legs vertical until upper back is only touching the floor; hold the position for a few seconds then gently let your legs down.) Since the warm water acts as a bowel tonic there is no need to hold it for a long period of time.  After a few minutes, you may release the enema.

 

 

Oil Enema
Add ¼ cup of Castor Oil into the 4 cups of warmed, purified water. The instructions for taking the enema are exactly the same as the warm water enema, except that you should hold the enema for at least 5 minutes.
