Temperature

At my house, I have an electronically controlled water heater, so the tap temperature never exceeds 42 degrees Celsius, so my enemas are around 40-41 degrees Celsius. In the bungalow we occupied this summer, there was a small electric boiler, so it was set to a very high temperature. I started doing enemas at different temperatures until I found one that was comfortable, but much higher than my usual 41-42. I have to say, it's much more pleasant, and I can retain it much better. What do you think is the ideal temperature?

Be Careful, at temperatures higher than 44 degrees C the protein in the cells starts to coagulate. You literally cook your intestines.

I always use a thermometer to check the water temperature in the bag. The maximum safe temperature is 44 degrees C. I have taken enemas at that temperature before with no problems. However you must be very careful and check the water temperature with a thermometer, over 44 degrees C you can burn the colon. The warmer the water the easier it is to fill the colon. I usually take all my enemas at 40 degrees C. For me it’s the ideal temperature and a safe temperature.

My grandmother was a retired Registered Nurse and when she gave us enemas, she checked the water temperature using her wrist or the back of her hand. We never saw her use a thermometer, only her hand, to check water temperature for an enema. As preteens, once she taught us personal hygiene, enemas were our responsibility. Teaching us to use our wrist or the back of our hand to check water temperature before filling an enema bag. Showing us what it should feel like on our wrist or the back of our hand. Telling us, water for an enema should feel comfortable to our wrist or the back of our hand, not too hot or cold. Showing us physically what it should feel like, then showing us what too hot or cold felt like. I’ve always used the method she taught me, and I’ve never had an issue with water temperature.
