If administered carefully and conscientiously, these homemade enema solutions are all safe, effective and relatively comfortable. Just make sure that you don’t overuse or misuse any of them. By all means, consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or if the enema doesn’t work or leads to any type of complication. If you think you need more information before using any of them, research yourself over the Internet.
When it comes to enema, there are a lot of options available and there are a lot of at home enema recipes which are just as effective and very easy to prepare. Here are some easy home enema recipes for you to try!
This Super Colon Cleansing Enema is a combination of ingredients that work well individually. Taken together they clean the colon and stimulate the liver to release bile, contribute to gut health and carry toxins from the body.
The gentlest, safest cleansing enema is simply warm filtered water inserted and held for as long as possible.
Enemas are mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls and were an ancient practice of the Essenes! see – here.
I found this description of coffee enemas from Amandha Vollmer interesting…
“DEFINITIONS OF A COFFEE ENEMA
1. A rectal coffee implant. The name coffee enema is not quite accurate. An enema usually means just putting liquid in the colon or large intestine and then immediately expelling it. Enemas are generally used to clean out the large intestine.
The coffee enemas described in this article are actually colonic coffee implants. This means that one implants coffee in the colon and then holds the implant for about 20 minutes or perhaps longer. Then one goes to the toilet and expels what is left of the coffee.
2. A form of dialysis. Dialysis, in this context, means a forced or artificial method to enhance detoxification.
3. A type of hydrotherapy. This means the therapeutic use of water for healing the body in some way. In this case, water is used to wash out the colon and deliver a coffee solution to the body through the rectum. Its effect is very different from drinking coffee, as explained later in this article.
Completely different from drinking coffee. Coffee ingested as a beverage is absorbed in the stomach. This differs greatly from absorption from the colon, which occurs with an enema.
Acids in the stomach destroy some key nutritional compounds in coffee. Coffee is also irritating to the stomach.
Also, the colon blocks the absorption of certain toxins found in coffee, including cadmium and some of the caffeine.”
From Dr Lawrence Wilson
Gentle Cleansing Enema (water flush)
Filtered Water
Heat between 2 cups and 2 pints filtered Water to just warmer than body temperature
Why Filtered Water?
Tap water contains chlorine and other additives that are harmful to your gut flora.
The best position to assume when receiving your enema is ultmately wherever you are comfy, the right side helps the enema go to the liver, you can be on your back with your hips slightly raised. After the enema has been inserted, continue to lay down for 8- 20 mins. (no longer)
If you do not feel the urge to expel the liquid, simply stand up and move around as usual until you do. Sometimes the enema will not be entirely evacuated because of poor hydration. The body has absorbed the water and nutrients to it’s benefit.
Every step toward a clean colon will leave you feeling cleaner, lighter, and healthier.
Chamomile Tea Enema
Make 2 pints of organic chamomile tea and use at blood temp in your enema kit.
Chamomile is gentle and soothing on the colon and gut.
Flaxseed/Linseed Tea/Enema
You Need:
Two heaped tablespoons of organic flaxseeds.
One litre of filtered water. You may use more water to end up with a thinner tea.
A large pan.
Making It:
Put the seeds and water in the pan, bring it to a slight simmer. Do not allow to overflow onto your cooker – very messy!
As soon as it has come to a simmer turn it off straight away and leave it to stand overnight. (or pour into a flask)
Next morning bring the tea to a slight simmer again, put the pan on the smallest ring or element and turn the heat down to the lowest setting.
Leave the tea to cook for about an hour by which time you will have perfect flax tea. Strain off the seeds and discard them.
Put some into a mug and enjoy “Hug in a Mug”.
The tea can be allowed to cool and put in a glass jug in the fridge. You can take out a mugful at a time and reheat it in a pan whenever you want some more.
It will last for a couple of days as long as you keep it in the fridge.
To use in an enema; about half a pint of tea in one and a half pints of warm water. Hold for between 15 – 20 mins. The purpose of a linseed tea enema is to offer reassurance and a strong message of hydration & soothing via the bowel itself, which will pass that message on to the liver.
Benefits:
The colon (large intestine) sends messages to the rest of the body telling it if enough water is coming in. If the body gets the message that there isn’t enough water coming in then it will go on Dehydration Alert, where it puts various measures into action to try and conserve water. One of these measures is to produce cholesterol to coat the cell walls as a means of retaining water in the cell. Unfortunately, the cholesterol has the effect of hardening the cell walls which obstructs the body’s natural cycle of day/night cleansing. Consequently the cell becomes more acidic and toxins build up. Toxic cell, toxic person!
Flax tea re-introduces the body to oil and water which is basically what every cell of your body is made of! You are thickened water and so is flax tea! It gives a reassuring message of hydration to the colon. By reassuring the colon, flax tea is one of the ways we can encourage the body to come off dehydration alert. It will stop producing cholesterol so water can flow freely in and out of cells allowing nutrients to get in and toxins to get out.

Ingredients:
· Flaxseed oil- 1 cup
· Water- 6 cups

Epsom salt- Detoxification of the liver is of utmost importance for the proper functioning of the liver. Epsom is nothing but magnesium sulfate which helps in cleansing the liver and colon of any toxins. Epsom salt helps in increasing the water flow to the intestines, which in turn eases out the bowel movement.
· Epsom salt- 2 tablespoons
· Filtered Water- 8 cups
· Heat the water until it is warm to touch.
· Now add the Epsom salt to the water and stir it until it is completely dissolved in water.
· Now transfer the salt solution to enema kit.
· Administer the Epsom salt enema as you normally would. But make sure that the solution is not too hot to touch.
Coffee enema
Coffee enema is known and used by people for its detoxifying properties as well as for treating constipation. The caffeine, theophylline and theobromine content in the coffee dilates the blood vessels and enhances the flow of bile. It also helps in eliminating the toxins from the liver.
· Ground organic coffee- 3 tablespoons
· Filtered water- 1 litre
· Strainer
· Add 3 tbsp. ground organic coffee and 1-litre water in a pan.
· Boil the coffee for 3 minutes and then simmer the coffee for 20 minutes.
· Allow the coffee to cool down a bit and then strain it.
· Once the coffee has cooled down to room temperature, transfer it to the enema bag and administer it.
Acidophilus Enema Solution
This is a rather simple type of solution which can not only cleanse the colon but, also, put back into the area beneficial bacteria. By the way, administering beneficial bacteria like this (directly into the colon) is much more beneficial than consuming it (such as in yogurt or pills).
This type of enema solution may be best suited for those persons suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer and haemorrhoids.
As a matter of fact, the regular use of enemas can reduce the number of beneficial bacteria in your gut; this fact alone, therefore, is an excellent reason to use this type of enema, if for no other reason.
Recipe
4 tablespoons of probiotic yogurt or, 4 to 5 capsules of dry acidophilus or, one tablespoon of powdered acidophilus
2 pints of filtered warm water
Simply mix the two ingredients. Introduce and then retain the solution inside for about 10 minutes in order to allow the bacteria to blend in.
Lemon Juice
This is probably one of the safest enema solutions you can use. Lemon juice has a well-established reputation as a healing substance. This type of enema helps to cleanse the colon from excessive, hanging-around-for-too-long faeces; it also helps to restore the Ph levels balance generally found therein.
It’s been reported, in fact, that lemon juice enemas may help with the pain and discomfort generally associated with colitis. Using this type of enema weekly, in fact, can help with chronic constipation. Don’t try to hold this solution in for too long, though, to avoid discomfort.
Lemon Juice Enema
two-thirds cup of fresh lemon juice
Two pints of filtered warm water
Add lemon juice to two the warm water. Of course, filter the juice before mixing into the water so that only the juice remains.
Caution & Consideration
As mentioned, don’t try to hold it in for too long but long enough to produce a beneficial effect.
This type of enema may be somewhat irritating, especially if used regularly. Use with caution.
Salty Water Enema Solution
This is perhaps one of the most versatile solutions, considering how much you do with it, including fighting the effects of constipation. This type of enema is usually well tolerated, rarely leads to complications, and can have several benefits, besides helping to restore defecation. You can hold this enema in for longer than others; it can help with the general cleansing of the colon.
Recipe
Two tablespoons of sea salt
2 pints of filtered warm water
Mix the ingredients well. Make sure the salt is fully dissolved. As has been stated, it’s okay and preferable to hold this enema in for longer than other types of enemas—about 45 minutes might be ideal, unless not feasible.
