Are enemas really healthy for you?

Ever since a nurse gave me a hospital sized cleansing enema in my early 20s when I came close to having an orgasm, I’ve felt that flushing out the colon is as much mental as it is physical.

Excluding myself when I’ve given myself enemas and know this is true, I have also experienced this result with my husband and daughter. My reluctant husband felt “so much better” after I gave him an enema that he swept me into bed for the rest of the afternoon. Clearly, his brain shifted into overdrive. Loved every minute!

Daughter in her 30s was sick during the pandemic with a high fever. One of the few times as a mom that I was freaking out when one of my gang was sick. It took her several days to begin feeling herself, when she asked me to give her enemas to clean her out She wasn’t constipated, in fact, just the opposite. She wanted to be totally free mentally of the virus, and she felt that enemas would help make that happen.

We argued because I didn’t want to get her electrolytes out of whack. Finally, I agreed, and gave her a high enema with natural salt and soda. I placed her in a knee chest position on the bed resting her chest on two pillows. She asked to be in that position, despite admitting she was feeling "a little embarrassed." Emotionally, she just wanted to get everything bad out of her system. Was that healthy? I wasn’t sure, but she was. She said the enema "cleansed her mind." That's all that counted.

In Africa, forty years ago, I contracted jaundice. Don't know how. I took enemas while I was sick and recovered so much faster than anyone expected. So?????

It's very rare for me to get a flu or fever. But when I do, I take a 2 quart enema, and immediately I feel better.

And I get well much quicker.

I agree with Vicki V's comment that "flushing out the colon is as much mental as it is physical." Whenever I am feeling out of sorts, whether physical or mental, it seems like a good enema kind of resets me. Kind of like rebooting the computer. Everything just seems to run better after a good enema.

I'm thinking that the data is probably mostly anecdotal, but there are LOTS of anecdotes out there about enemas. Here's my own:

Much of my adult life, I had irritable bowel syndrome, the kind with lots of gas and loose, mucousy stools. That's what is called IBS-D. When I was in my mid-40s, I started doing large volume bag enemas as a possible treatment. I got relief, but the benefit was short, days to maybe a week. The benefit was that the IBS-D became much milder. I then started colon hydrotherapy, which provided the same benefit but lasted weeks to maybe a couple of months at best. So I came to prefer colon hydrotherapy, and I've had colon hydrotherapy many dozens of times over the years.

My guess is that the health benefits of enemas can vary quite a bit from person to person. That's a reason to try it and see what happens.

I kind of smile at the "one enema a day" quote.... well. unless you really need it...but, if it is what your mind needs, why not. Body and mind work hand in hand to keep us in the best possible condition. A little help with a nozzle can work miracles. Personally I think that a nice, well given, high enema, once a month is the best for me...of course my sexually active life is a little reduced now. Then, I was also doing my "big" enema as a monthly routine, but it was accompanied by smaller ones whenever ass play was involved. We kept our bag hanging in the bathroom, under the robes. Our daughters knew mom used it for cleaning and took it in stride without questioning it. When they got older and learned about cleaning, they thought we were just "old fashioned". So finding the bag ready was a signal that some play time was coming. Yes, I think an enema using the right products and administered using the right caution, is a good tool to keep you healthy....can never warn people enough about "what and how" the stuff they put inside. You have to understand enemas the same way you understand eating and drinking, then you start realizing that what you are doing is more than just for fun.

I was at a beach resort the other day when I met two very young college girls from San Diego State, one was dressed like a cheerleader and couldn't be a day over 22. We're talking cute and sexy, like in the movies. I don't recall how the topic about my age came about, but I do have some grey in my beard. The cheerleader said, "we know you are in your 40s.".

"You are so sweet." I replied. And then I told them that I am 61. The didn't believe me.

I showed them my driver's license, and then they told me that I am "Amazing!'

I only told them about part of my secret, perhaps next time I might tell them and see if they might be interested in trying out an enema or two.

Yes, long term moderate use of enemas aren't only good for you, but as close to the fountain of youth as you are going to get.

If I think I can metaphorically get to first base, if I’m in a discussion similar to your circumstances where you are talking with young legal age females; and they comment on my looks as I’m past 65, I reply “ I take the waters!” Of course their curiosity in most cases is piqued and softly the subject on enemas is broached.,
