Note: This method recommends using about 2 cups of water in the enema. You may use more, but it is not necessary. If you cannot hold the enema well, use less if it helps.
Step 1. Materials
* Buy a 2-quart enema bag with a clamp. The enema/douche bag combination is easier to use. If you cannot find an enema bag at the local drug store, here is a link to buy one inexpensively online. We recommend this enema kit as it is inexpensive and very easy to work with.
* Buy any brand of organic coffee – regular grind or flaked, non-instant and not decaffeinated. For maximum freshness, you may buy coffee beans and grind your own coffee, but this is not necessary. Store your coffee in the freezer for maximum freshness.
Organically grown coffee is best, though any coffee will do. We recommend using a darker blend for Coffee Enemas instead of lighter blends that are higher in caffeine. A very clean coffee we have been using is the French Kick by BulletProof. Organic coffee is also available at natural food stores and some supermarkets.
Step 2. Preparation of coffee
There are three methods. The coffeemaker and the boil methods are best.
1. The Boil Method (recommended):
* Place 2 to 3 cups of purified water and about ½ to three tablespoons of coffee in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. When beginning coffee enemas, use much less coffee to make sure you tolerate it well. For example, begin with a half teaspoon of coffee and increase a higher amount when you are sure you tolerate it well.
* When the water and coffee begins to boil, turn down the burner and allow it to simmer for 12 minutes. Then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. One or two ice cubes may be added to speed the cooling process. You may make a larger quantity and use it for several enemas.
* Wait until the water is comfortable to the touch. If the water is too hot or too cold, retaining the enema will be more difficult. Strain the liquid through a fine strainer or coffee filter paper into a container or directly into your enema bag. The enema is now ready.
* A way to save time is to boil only about 1/2 of a cup of water with the coffee, allowing it to simmer for 10 minutes. Then add another cup and a half or so of water, and this will cool it instantly to the required temperature. You may have to vary the amounts of water to achieve a comfortable temperature. Then follow the instructions to strain the coffee through a fine strainer into your enema bag.
2. Coffeemaker Method:
Place a cup or so of water in a coffee maker, along with ½ teaspoon to 3 tablespoons of coffee and turn the machine on. When just beginning to use coffee enemas, start with a smaller amount of coffee in case you are sensitive to it. When the coffee is ready, add more water to cool the mixture to body temperature.
*The coffee made with a coffeemaker will not be quite as strong as with the boil method, so you may need a little more coffee using a coffee maker than if you use the boil method.
3. The alternative non-boil method:
* Place 1 cup of ground coffee in a container with 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture thoroughly and allow it to soak overnight. (You may make a larger quantity if desired).
*In the morning, filter the liquid through coffee filter paper or a fine strainer. Place in a jar for storage in the refrigerator.
*To prepare an enema, pour 2 cups of purified water into the enema bag. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the coffee liquid from the jar.
Step 3. Preparing to take the enema
* Be sure the plastic hose is fastened tightly onto the enema bag and the thin enema tip is attached to the other end.
* Remove any air from the enema tube: Grasp, but do not close the clamp on the hose. Place the enema tip in the sink. Hold up the enema bag above the tip until the water begins to flow out. As soon as it starts flowing, quickly close the clamp. This expels any air in the tube.
* Lubricate the enema tip with a small amount of organic almond oil, olive oil, natural soap or any other natural lubricant. (Note: Too much lubrication might cause the tip to fall out of the rectum, creating a mess. Experiment to see how much and what kind of lubrication is best for you).
* Create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. After a short while you will be looking forward to this alone time and will thoroughly enjoy your this daily ritual. Light a candle, play some light music and most importantly, make sure you are comfortable and warm. We recommend placing a pillow with a washable cover under your head and lying down on a large, dark towel. You may also want to have a blanket or a small space heater with you as well.
Step 4. Taking the enema
* The position preferred by most people is lying on one’s back on a towel on the bathroom floor, or in the bath tub.
* With the clamp closed (keeping your hand on it so it stays closed) place the enema bag on an elevated surface next to you, or hang the bag about one foot above your abdomen. We like to hang the bag on the door knob in the bathroom.
* Insert the tip gently and slowly. Move it around until it goes all the way in.
* Open the clamp slowly, relax and breathe. The water may take a few seconds to begin flowing. If the water does not flow, you may gently squeeze the bag. If you develop a cramp, close the hose clamp, turn from side to side and take a few deep breaths. The cramp will usually pass quickly.
* When all the liquid is inside, the bag will become flat. Close the clamp. You can leave the tube inserted, or remove it slowly. If you remove it, you may wrap the hose around the doorknob, or if you are using an open bag, you may place the tip back into the top of the bag. Keep your hand on the clamp to make sure it stays closed until you have wrapped it securely or placed the tip into the bag.
* RETAIN THE ENEMA FOR 15 MINUTES. See below if you have difficulties with this. You may remain lying on the floor, or lie in bed with a towel under your mid-section to protect against leaks. To reach all areas of the colon, we recommend spending 5 minutes on your right side, then 5 minutes on your back and the last 5 minutes on your left side. If this is difficult stay on your back. Do not walk around. Use the time to read a book, meditate, listen to a CD, etc.
Step 5. Finishing up
* After 15 minutes or so, go to the toilet and empty out the water. It is okay if some water remains inside. If water remains inside often, you are dehydrated. Rubbing your abdomen while sitting on the toilet may help eliminate the water. Take your time with this part; relax and breathe. You will know over time when you are complete 🙂 If you get up too fast, you may feel some discomfort in your abdomen. If this happens simply go the the toilet to eliminate the rest. Again, take your time with this process.
* Wash the enema bag and tube thoroughly with soap and water.
* Rub the tops of the toes, in particular. If you feel at all uncomfortable, bloated or out of sorts after the enema, gently rub the toes of your feet, especially the top of the toes on the left foot. This will often clear it up. You may eat a meal soon after a coffee enema.
Hints regarding enemas:
* If possible, do the enema after a bowel movement to make it easier to retain the coffee. If this is not possible, take a warm, plain water enema first if needed, to clean out the colon. This is a simple 5 minute flush to help things move. While this is not necessary, some find this helps them retain the coffee enema longer.
* If intestinal gas is a problem, some exercise before the enema may eliminate the gas.
* If the enema makes you jittery, reduce the amount of coffee.
* The enema may lower your blood sugar. If so, eat something just before or after taking the enema.
* If you have trouble holding the enema, here are suggestions:
1) Be patient. Practice makes perfect.
2) The water may be too hot or too cold. Be sure the water temperature is comfortable.
3) It may help to place a small pillow or rolled up towel under your buttocks so the water flows down hill into your colon.
4) If trouble continues, try reducing the amount of coffee or add 2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses to the water.
