Habits | What to do against the smell?…

Is there anything one could do to limit the bad smell coming out of a good and thorough enema?

I add some glycerin soap (from the natural stuff area of my grocery store) and Epsom salt to the water and 4 quarts go in in about 10 minutes.

The cleansing feeling is complete and the expulsion takes a few minutes.

The problem is that it stinks my whole house and I have had complaints.

It seems that the smell comes from the feces from the transverse area, which as usually not in the final stage of digestion and have a very specific odor.

As for my diet, I eat very little meat, I could pass for a veggie some days because I simply do not eat any, mostly a little bit of beef and pork, but mostly fish (canned tuna these days) and chicken.

I do not eat anything deep fried, no pizza, no white bread, mostly green veggies, tomatoes, fruits (I snack on apples), and basically no junk food, so I guess it's not from my diet.

I was wondering if I could try baking soda? What do you people recommend?

Thanks in advance!!!

Pure essential oils are likely to have a burning sensation, and NOT a pleasant one depending on how you mix it into your lubricants. Some of the mints, especially spearmint and wintergreen oils will burn like hell. Cinnamon oil can make you wish you were dead. Peppermint oil, while not to be trifled with, is a lightweight in this department. Spill cinnamon oil on anything, and you will have to throw it out because the smell will not go away.

BE CAREFUL with essential oils.

I use tap water only in my enemas so I have to use alternate methods besides using additives to the enema solution. I would concur that the bathroom exhaust fan is probably the best bet to remove odors. Flushing frequently after each expulsion helps too- the less time the poo is exposed to the air the less odor escapes into the air.

Between these two methods I think you can significantly reduce the odor.

It may seem too simple, but try flushing.

When I was a kid my mother told me to flush as soon as the poop hit the water, especially in public toilets or when visiting in someone's home. Then attend to the paperwork.

It is the same with an enema. As soon as you expel, flush. Expel some more, flush again. It may not get rid of a hundred percent of the smell, but it will dispense with most. And there's nothing sitting in the toilet bowl to continue fouling the air.

We have the exhaust fan on in the bathroom, do a few courtesy flushes, and then use air freshener afterwards. We seldom wind up with a stinky house as a result.
