A soapy enema is very irritating to the colon !

The only soap you want to use if you're going to use in your enema solution is a mild
Castile soap.Never use any kind of dishwashing
liquid or laundry detergent for your enema soap as they contain chemicals
that can damage the delicate intestinal lining or deodorant hand soaps.

choice, or Kirks Castile soap

coconut oil. Either one works well

Bonners and it comes with several types of herbal additives.

When expelling the enema:
You can massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction this will help move the solution back
toward the rectum and anus.
Massaging the abdomen while expelling the enema helps move the enema
solution and gas and feces toward
the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the
toilet not sitting on it. The squatting position puts pressure on your abdomen from your
thighs.
In many countries, toilets are made so that people squat when they move their bowels. The
Welles Step positions your body so that you are squatting when you sit on the toilet.
Squatting, supports the abdominal wall and the bowel as we bear down, brings about
an easier bowel evacuation in this way.
People who use the Welles Step tend to have fewer hemorrhoids,
hernias, anal fissures,
varicose veins and use less laxatives.
It fits under the toilet when not in use.
It is best if you place a Welles
Step and then squat down over the toilet to release your enema.
Remember you should take a warm water
rinse enema or two after a soapy enema to remove the soap solution from the intestinal
walls. Otherwise this can keep irritating the intestine lining for sometime.
Ypu can repeat as needed.

to Thoroughly Wash Your Equipment after Use |
