Clear complexions

I've been perusing through the offerings on YouTube that come up when I enter just the word "enema" into the search function. It brings up a half a zillion videos, few of which actually show a real enema. But I notice something interesting: many of the folks who are offering guidance about how to give/take enemas all seem to have bright clear complexions.

Washing the smelly brown stuff out of our colons not only feels good it's good for our bodies. I was already a daily enema devotee all those years ago when I was a teenager, and I had much less problems with acne than most of my peers did. I think I can credit that to enemas, 'cuz I sure didn't eat a super healthy diet in those days. Anybody else see a connection between our happy little hobby and clearer skin?

@azdiane. Every two or three years I meet with old work colleagues. They all remark on how well I look! Now closer to 70 than 65 I do feel fantastic and my skin glows! And we both know why!!!!

Wow, I never made the correlation before, but I never had acne at all. Must have been all those after school sessions in the bathroom doing sneaking enemas.

I have also noticed the clear complexion’s of people who use enemas also, even occasionally. Usually people who use enemas regularly are healthier and seem to have a certain glow to them compared to non enema users.

When I had acne during my early to mid-teens my Mom never gave me an enema to clear up the acne. Her solution was to give me a big dose of Epsom Salts every time I broke out in a fresh crop of pimples. She believed that would "cleanse the toxins out of my blood" that she thought were causing the flareup of pimples. That was a common belief in the 50's and 60's. I couldn't say that it actually worked but the pimples did dry up after that purging probably just because it dehydrated me.

I’ve never seen any medical articles that would support this and doubt enemas or purging affect the root cause of pimples. Nice idea if they did.

With the background that I’m not the world’s best at drinking enough water, I’ve noticed a brightening of my under-eye area and a better-looking complexion after an enema, although the effect is rather short-lived. For about four hours, I can see a difference.

However, after three days of a daily enema, I have had some months-long issues like a blocked pore clear permanently, so I do believe enemas can improve the look of your skin in more lasting ways, also.

Yes @azdiane our friend Gretchen96 has been getting enemas regularly since she was a little girl and she has a glowing complexion. I don't know if her complexion has to do with her job as a beautician or her regular colon hygiene or a bit of both? https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/180356

She did the math : 7000 enemas so far. https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=600570

Whether there’s a connection or not between enemas and clear complexion, I do think hydration in general — the amount of water we consume — does have a connection.

My dermatologist, who I’ve had for years, reminds me to drink lots of water because toxins are released through our skin.

I’ve had occasions when I’m over stressed and my skin is breaking out, an enema seems to help clear, but it’s purely anecdotal.

One of the first questions every colonic hydrotherapist I have been to over the last fifteen years has asked me is "how much water do you drink"?

The first colon therapist I went to told me some her clients came to her when they were having an acme problem and a series of colonics seemed to help.

Yes azdiane, I was given enemas at least twice a week all the way up until I left for college. I do not know if they were helpful in avoiding the teenage acne problem, but I always had clear skin. Both my mother and grandmother were firm believers that regular enema were the prevent all/cure all for what ails you including keeping your skin clear. I have continued the enema "habit" all my life and have seldom felt sick which I attribute to the regular enemas. Medical Science would likely dispute my enema beliefs but it has worked for me and my husband. Denise

My siblings and I received enemas for a variety of different reasons growing up, but getting enemas to prevent teenage acne or have clear skin is something I’ve never heard about. But I will say this, my siblings and I never had problems with acne as teenagers. And from age six and beyond, we received on average, two or three enemas a month. Did this have anything to do with us not having issues with acne or clear skin? Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea.

Our grandmother was a retired registered nurse and a firm believer in enemas for kids, teenagers, and adults for a variety of different reasons. Like you, my siblings and I never got sick to speak of. Sure, we got the occasional mild cold or the flu, but they never lasted more than a few days.

Acne (which i also struggle) its complexity issue. I read article that was possibile about too many testosterone, less water, some bad guts microbiome and junk food. But couple years ago i read great russian doctor medical article that was some correlation about headaches, poor immune system by toxicated intestines.

The auto intoxication theory has been thoroughly debunked.

Yes and no. The old school concept has, you are correct. However some recent legitimate research on the gut microbiome has revived the “leaky gut” theory. It’s been found that some microbes produce compounds that can diffuse into the bloodstream and increase inflammation or cause other issues. Does that mean everyone can have clearer skin with regular enemas, no, but there is increasing evidence that a good or balance microbiome and regularity have real health impacts.
