Soapy enemas are very irritating to the intestinal lining !
Although soap is probably the most used enema additive. The only soap to use if you're
going to use open your enema solutions 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. Also deodorant hand soaps contain chemicals to
that are dangerous.
If you have your mind set on using soap in an enema then Conti Castile soap is a good
choice, or Kirks Castile soap
Conti Castile soap is made from olive oil where as Kirk's Castile soap is made from
coconut oil. Either one works well
in an enema solution.
Soap Enema Recipe:
2 qts. of warm filtered water.
Dissolve approximately 1/10 of a bar of soap in the 2 qts. of water.
Temperature 103° Fahrenheit
Directions:
Add solution to enema bag,
mixing with warm filtered
water to achieve 2 qts.
Hang enema bag about 18 in.
to 3 ft. above rectum. A good
tool for this is the IV
Stand for Enemas
If you need better flow control of the enema solution. The ramp
clamp is what you are looking for.
Knee-chest
position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head this is a best position
to receive an enema.
Insert nozzle/rectal
tube tip into anus, using
lubricant ( Super
Salve Surgilube)
as needed.
Inject solution into rectum slowly, and take as much as possible , refill bag as needed or
until it becomes very uncomfortable to take any more solution.
Massage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction this will help the solution higher into the
colon.
When bag is empty or no more fluid can be taken remove nozzle/rectal tube, if you have
trouble retaining the solution you might want to try a retention
nozzle. Although some people prefer to use a retention
plug after they received their enema solution and removed the nozzle.
Lie on each side for 5 to 10 minutes, while massaging abdomen.
Now you can move to the toilet
and release the enema.
Repeat as needed.
Remember you should take a warm
water rinse enema after a soapy enema to remove the soap solution from the intestinal
walls. Otherwise this can keep irritating the intestine lining for several hours.
Massage:
When receiving the enema:
Massage abdomen in a counter-clockwise direction this will help move the solution higher
into the colon.
Massaging the abdomen during the administration of an enema will help the recipient except
more of the enema solution.
When expelling the enema:
Massage 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 solution and feces toward
the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the toilet. 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
