Cool water enemas, during heat waves

Has anyone tried cool water enemas to cool off during a heat wave.

Took a tap water enema around noon today with the temperature up around 98 degrees. I felt better afterwards. I got the idea from when Mom gave me cool water enemas to bring down fevers.

I’ve tried that a few times and it’s quite effective. One of my enemates from years ago believed a cool water enema at the end of a long series of warm, enjoyable fills and expulsions was a way to get the lower bowel to relax. I must say it seemed to feel great and be a nice end to our sessions. It will definitely cool you down a bit.

I have used cool to lukewarm water for that purpose. Administered slowly and gently, it works well. Refreshing!

That is a very good way to cool down. I have done that many times. a cool shower with a cool enema is good. then stand in front of the fan dont dry off let the fan do its thing.

Good idea. Your skin is the body’s largest organ and cooling it with a cool shower followed by evaporative cooling combined with an enema! Would be curious to see how much one’s body temp actually changes …e.g. before and after temps.

If I happen to over heat on a warm summer day this is what I do to cool down. I jump in the shower with the temperature just on the cool side and then I take a few cool rinses with my shower nozzle. The outer as well as inner cooling is very affective.

Yrs, I've tried it and it works very well, the heat within the body is transferred t the cool water. I recommend to anyone who is in a heatwave.

Agree with all you have said...except standing wet in front of a fan....not healthy....and yes, a cool enema in a very hot condition is blissful..taken slow, holding it a while, can feel your all body responding and thanking you...after you may want to limit "other" activities....or you'll get "hot" again....

What do you feel is unhealthy about standing wet in front of a fan? When I was growing up in southern Arizona--without air conditioning--this was a lot of people's way to be cool enough to sleep: a fast shower, drying off sloppily, and having the fan blow right at the bed and your wet skin. Felt pretty damned good, as I recall. When our own kids were small and we did not have AC, we'd mist them with a spray bottle of water and have them play or read to them where the fan blew.

During the summer, when my siblings and I spent a lot of time at our grandmothers, our teenage aunts were responsible for our evening bath including enemas. On particular hot summer days, when we spent a lot of time outside, grandma would tell the girls to give us and themselves a cool rinse enema at bath time. This was long before the days when most houses had air conditioning, and a cool enema during evening bath time really felt good. The water wasn’t cold; it just felt cool to the back of your hand or wrist. Once the enema was finished, a shower afterwards felt great.

Actually, in cases of heat stroke one of the traditional ways of reducing internal temperature is to administer a cold-water or ice-water enema. So, yes, in cases of overheating in our increasingly hot Summers a cool-water enema not only feels good, it IS good and could save your life. Enjoy!!!

Turning this around a bit I recall reading years back that French doctors treated hypothermia victims with warm water enemas /colonics...

Too cool tends to get crampy. So better do some experiments with lower temperatures and don‘t go to far at first.

I’ve lived in the S.W. desert area of the U.S. for most of my life. I have suffered from the effects of heat exhaustion at different times. I always immediately increase my fluid intake find a shady area and take a cool shower as soon as possible. As soon as possible if time and circumstances allow I will take a cool water enema, around 95-98 deg F. During the enema it’s amazing how quickly and easily the two quarts of water will go into me without cramping. I believe is because I am so dehydrated and my colon acts like a huge sponge and it rehydrate’s my body. I do really feel good afterwards.

Also the cool enema filling the larg area of the colon which has a lot of blood vessels in and around the colon, quickly cools your blood which quickly cools the rest of your body. It works quickly.
