Air enemas? Tobacco smoke!?

Has anyone ever tried a tobacco smoke enema? I read about them being given in olden times. I'm not sure I'd do that.

Please don't try it because it could kill you... but allegedly they used to do it as some kind of treatment. Does anybody know anything about it, or experienced it.

What about air enems? What are your thoughts.

I had a couple quarts of air pushed in me in the heat of the moment during and enema series. I was expelling and she thought it wasn't right and told me to stop. I got up, leaned over, and she gave two 1 quart plunger syringes of air.

Fuck I felt like I was gonna explode for a few days.... it felt like it was trapped high up under my ribs and I couldn't shake it loose.

NO air enemas for me!!! I’ll never forget the discomfort and pain I experienced during a double contrast barium enema when I was in my twenties. The air felt a thousand times worse than the barium, and I literally cried during the procedure.

Many years ago when I was just learning about enemas other than water, I remember reading in my grandma’s home health book about a smoke enema. Don’t remember why you would do that and certainly never tried it.

I have tried air enemas from time to time. A single squirt of air is interesting if you like to hear yourself fart but more than that becomes a problem for me. I find that if I give myself enough that the air goes up higher than the rectum it gets trapped and doesn’t come out completely when you want it to. I feel bloated and fart out small amounts for hours. I am not a fan of air enemas.

Naaaaa.....I had "patients" asking for it, I did it using both a bulb or a syringe, the decorator type....they seem to enjoy it, but did not really do anything for me, even less a curiosity to try the experience.... I actually make sure the air is out of the tubes before starting an enema...

I heard of smoke enemas given by sciamanic cultures and other cults too...used to get rid of "evil spirits" or other procedures in similar direction.... also heard of exorcisms enemas, but not really interested.....

In the moderation team we talked about this topic and we decided we would put it back but there is a safety warning we are posting on it too.

1. Do not, under no circumstance, use pressurized air. You risk severe life threatening injuries.

2. Be aware that any substance in your rectum or colon will be absorbed by your body very fast. The effect of for example nicotine can be stronger or different compared to inhaling smoke into your lungs. An overdose can lead to nicotine poisoning.

3. Be aware that tobacco smoke contains toxic and carcenogenic substances and think twice whether you want such substances in direct contact with your rectum or colon.

@Cheryl77177 I occasionally do a self colonoscopy using an inexpensive Amazon borascope.

I usually do a couple large clean out enemas and then wait an hour or two to begin. Naturally to advance the camera and see anything the colon has to be expanded.

I start by inserting a small 20Fr colon tube and add a bit of air with a blood pressure cough hand pump. And then advance the colon tube while adding more air. I then insert the camera and look around. It's quite interesting to say the least. Not able to get any further than the sharp curve at the end of the desending colon. It's interesting seeing the colon tube along side as I advance the camera.

When I'm done I remove the camera first and with the colon tube fully inserted I open the release valve on the inflator. Then roll on to my stomach and slowly remove the colon tube. This expells most of the air in the colon as the opening on the tube moves down the colon and into the rectum. I usually end up with less gas than after a large volume enema alone.

@Stump, that is incredibly interesting. You're a real spelunker there bud!

This could be a wonderful examination aspect to add in.

@trippycum Too bad we didn't have all this wonderful technology when I was younger! LOL!

It's amazing to see inside your owne body. Watch yourself breating. Seeing your colon move. It's a real turn on even for an old fart!

I too have heard about tobacco smoke enemas & seem to recall seeing an antique set of equipment intended for such somewhere, might even have been here. I guess the fact I can't remember where says much about my level of interest.

When I was about 12 years old there was a big leather bound "Family Doctor Encyclopedia" published in Victorian times squirreled away under the stairs at home. Frequently a source of masturbation inspiration especially the entries about enemas & suppositories until it mysteriously disappeared one day 😞 I do recall that it contained an entry which suggested that an early morning smoke might help with a man's first bowel movement of the day (no mention of the ladies) How things have changed.

@alan20cm

Yeah, i saw a drawing once somewhere depicting the equipment, it looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland, or mildly Dr.Zeusian. So interesting, I'd love one for display of historical stuff.

I always wonder in cases like these what things our great, great, grandchildren will look back on and wonder how anybody lived through the crazy stuff we do.....if we do.

In my early experimenting with enemas, I blew air into the hot water bottle through the hose and clamped it shut. After attaching the nozzle, I gave myself an air enema which caused some mild cramping. I may have done that more than once but found I preferred a liquid solution. Later I learned that air enemas are used as legit medical procedures including colonoscopies and following a barium enema.

Many years ago I read about tobacco smoke being used. The best concise explanation is what I found on Wikipedia: "A tobacco smoke enema is a historical medical treatment that involved administering tobacco smoke into the rectum, primarily used in the 18th century to treat various ailments and resuscitate drowning victims. This practice was derived from Native American techniques and became popular among European physicians before falling out of favor due to safety concerns and ineffectiveness."

[Resuscitate drowning victims!!! Really??? OMG.... That I did not know about.]

So this was found to be a worthless treatment and it's where the expression "blowing smoke up someone's ass" comes from. I've never had an interest in trying this.

I don't know about Tobacco smoke that sounds dangerous. When I was a kid and started to experiment with my parents enema bulb I would squeeze a bulb of air up my butt. I remember it felt funny and made an odd sound and then I would fart it out. Of course as a boy I used to think this was funny but not only that it felt pretty good to do. One day a neighbor boy came over and I showed him what I discovered. We took turns squeezing a bulb or two up our butts. LOL. I remember we saw who could fart the best. I usually blasted him away but one day my friend got one that went on and on. We both laughed and laughed at it. We were just innocent boys at this age... My mom had no idea why we were giggling so much... LOL

This is literally where the expression “don’t blow smoke up my ass came from “.

Small doses of nicotine were found to have positive results in a small study of patients with Crohn’s disease. Not actually blowing smoke up there, but injecting a liquid concoction rectally. Maybe the “smoke” enemas of the past actually did have some benefit in certain cases
