What is a Coffee Enema?

An enema refers to the process which helps in the flushing of feces from the colon or the large intestines. In this process, a colon cleansing enema kit is filled with a type of fluid that can stimulate bowel movement.

There is a thin and long tube that is attached to the bag of the kit; this tube is inserted in the anus, through which the fluid is introduced into the body. In most cases, when a person is about to undergo a surgery, medical experts administer an enema, to remove the stools that are within the intestines. There are several people who allow a medical health expert to administer an enema. In most instances, people fill the enema bag with saline water. However, there are also many individuals who prefer their own homemade enema solutions. Some of the most common colon cleansing enema recipes includes sodium phosphate enema, barium enema, yogurt enema, mineral oil enema and coffee enema.

A coffee enema can be described as the procedure in which coffee is inserted into the anus, with the purpose of cleansing the intestines (large intestines), as well as the rectum. Coffee can be used in the process of internal detoxification, since its overall effect on the body is quite different, as compared to the normal saline enema. The veins from the anus are close to the surface of the tissue and therefore, they absorb the caffeine quickly. Most people also use the recipe for coffee enema for liver detoxification purposes. This process is well documented and has been used by several people, who want to get rid of the waste material in their colons. However, medical experts claim that there are several potential dangers that have been associated with a coffee enema, which is why this procedure should be used after consulting a doctor or preferably under the supervision of a medical health expert.

What are the Benefits of Enemas?

There are several health benefits that have been associated with an enema. First of all, a coffee enema is quite a natural method of detoxifying the body. Moreover, it is quite effective and at the same time, economic. The benefits of a coffee enema are in fact higher than the regular saline enema, since it contains caffeine, theophylline, theobromine and other such components. Coffee enemas stimulate and thereafter help the liver in the detoxification process of the entire body. When this detoxification takes place, the duplication of the red blood cells in the body increases; this in turn decreases the formation of gall stones in the body. Moreover, the recipe coffee enema includes into two ingredients, which are coffee and water. Both of them fairly natural ingredients, that do not pose any major health risk to the body. Hence, most people prefer taking a coffee enema, to laxatives or even other types of enemas. However, it is absolutely essential to discuss the potential side effects of enema, before deciding to take on.

Side Effects of Enema

Despite the health benefits that are associated with an enema, there are many health experts who are against them being administered at home. This is because a coffee enema, or any other enema for that matter, needs to be administered in the right manner, or else it could lead to damage of the colon, especially in case the water or the fluid used is not at the right temperature. Another possible side effect is irritation in the bowels as well as cramps. Of course, if the equipment used is not cleaned and sterilized properly, it can lead to severe infections.

Before using a coffee enema, or any other type of enema, it is best to consult a doctor.

Coffee has been used by many health care professionals in enema for the process of detoxification as it has different effects than the normal saline enema. Coffee enema is commonly taken for liver detoxification. Caffeine is more quickly absorbed form the veins of the anus which are close to the surface of the tissue. The caffeine from the coffee that is directly absorbed causes the liver to produce more bile which is flushed out from the small intestine later. This accumulation of bile in the lower colon stimulates the peristaltic activity and thus evacuates the excess bile and toxins from the body. To make the enema solution use 1 tsp regular organic ground coffee per cup of water instead of instant coffee. For example if you boil 6 cups of water, add 6 tsp of organic coffee in a pot and pour the boiling water over the coffee. Let the coffee steep and cool till body temperature. Then pour the coffee liquid in the enema bag and use for enema.
