Daily Enemas - a Good Idea?

Hello

I would like to know if taking enemas on a daily basis is good hygiene - I do it on a daily basis (desire them) and I fee great.

Daily enema can weaken the spontaneous physiological reflex of voiding excrement. A continuos daily use could drive to the nul reflex. In this case bowel peristalsis only start under the strong enema stimuli dilatation of the rectum-syhgmoid muscular wall. In the past centuries has been many people (women preferably) absolutely dependent of an enema to go to the potty; and no adverse effect has been reported about. Actually I know the case of a young girl who hershelf use for years daily practice of an small bulb warm water enema to get bowel movement, without up to day adverse consequence but the dependence. In conclusion is not a good hygiene.

Wow! Long story about why daily enemas are good for you. Me? I wouldn't do it as I am concerned about the impact on my colon. A couple of times a week make me feel good and i don't get sick either so I'm not sure that daily does anything for you other than make you feel nice.

Twice a week would be great especially if someone else is administering.

Frequent small-volume enemas (usually less than 2 ltr) tend to make the colon lazy. Instead of exercising the colon, they simply empty the rectum. This just creates a dependence on these enemas for help in evacuating.

"Regularity" has a lot to do with the muscle tone of the digestive tract. Larger enemas usually provide plenty of exercise for the colon.

At one time I gave myself a tap water enema every morning for about a month with not bad effects.

I just want to say something here. You can't get a 'Lazy colon' as it's called from frequent enema use. That's a scare myth started by the medical "community" for the same reason the movie "Refer Madness" was made- to brainwash you! Regular enemas will actually make the peristaltic action perform better PLUS rid the colon of all harmful bacteria that is in the habit of residing there. If you get on a diet higher in potassium and electrolytes, you will be better than fine!

I do one or two 2 quart enemas every morning. A table spoon of baking soda in the forst one. I have been doning this for the last five years. I do not get sick or have colds. It is very health.

WHEN i do enemas, i usually do them large.

and i have to keep at least 4 days break between every "enema-day", else my colon's natural habit's gets fucked up, and i get constipated.

Buy a pair of enema pants from stockroom.com. they have an inflatable nozzle and you can wear them and retain a small enema and have the pleasure of feeling a nozzle inside of you all day. know a woman who regularly did this.

I still have an enema every day. Most often it's Salt water or baking soda. once a week or so I have a Soap suds and or a coffee enema. My latest thrill is the Dr. Bronners peppermint castile soap. what a rush and what a feeling. Still continuing every day for 3 years now.

My grandmother would use them everyday, although they were just plain water. lived to the ripe old age of 93, so wouldn't say they had an effect on health.

Taking enemas daily does deplete electrolytes somewhat. In addition, the enema does cause some loss of the intestinal mucosa, which, of course, replaces itself fairly quickly. Since I take enemas for pleasure, I do so when it is possible, probably not more than 2-3 times a month.

I was daily for a while. No less than 3 qts at a time. But once I started to get sore, I stopped the practice. At least twice a month now. And if I am good, sometimes my wife lets me have one a little more often.

I have taken enemas almost every second day, as long as I can remember, often for a shorter period 2 or tree times a day, when I feel for it. 4 quarts or more, always.

I am very healty and in very good codition, even I am 65 years. My skin are like a young man, and I have never used glasses.

I think all this is because of all my enemases ?

I knew a old man, he was 101 when he died a year ago. I often talked with him, I really was one of his nearest friends his last years. One day he told me about his enema-habits. In the beginning I felt he was a litle embarrased telling me about it, but it seemed he wanted to tell it and learn me about it.

He told me he had used enemas, big one since he was a litle boy, and still did it when 100. He didnt tell the erotic about it, but I am sure it had been there, once a time.

He was in a very good health, his skin was young, and he looked much younger than he was. It was a great pleasure for me to tell him that I was a clismafilien myself.

And we understood eachothers realy.

I used to take a 1500cc enema three times per week. I did this for years and had no problems. I usually just used plain water, but about once per week or once every other week would do one of the enemas using a packet of castile soap.

I have been taking them for 56yrs last 6yrs at least every other day or more often 3to 4 bags at a time and do not plan to stop

I do enemas almost every day. 2 Qts at least. Then I can go without for a week and do not notice any negative physical changes. The high water bill is a good sign though.lol.

I am 35, good shape (workout 3 times a week, etc), male and I take enemas once or twice a week, which I know my friends would think is a lot! My question, is how do you guys have so much time to take daily enemas? Or do you mean just a quick rinse with a shower shot?

Maybe I am overdoing mine. I usually take 3 in a row to feel like I am totally cleaned out. I feel very good just doing it once or twice a week, but am intrigued about doing them daily. Maybe I should try for a week or two and see if there is a difference.

Thanks for any advice! I am so impressed by how nice people are on here....I am on another board and it just seems like a place to start fights!

I've had almost daily enemas (4-5 per week) for almost ten years. I still have a bm in the am. The enemas I save for the afternoon. Mostly coffee enemas. If I miss them for a couple of days everthing still works just fine.

I have taken over 10,000 enemas in my 70 years of life. For about 1q0 years I traveled and at night in the lonely motels, I would take two or three enemas and another in the morning, Monday - Thursday night. Then on the weekends at home maybe just one enema. It is difficult at home with a family and wife who disapproves. So I may not be every night my whole life, but I do not feel enemas have harmed me in any way. Please do not think I am telling you how many enemas to take or skip, as I have no knowledge other than my own enemas. I hope this is clear.

I take enemas once or twice a week. More if I feel the need.

I take low volume enemas every morning in the shower. I have done this for the past 5 or 6 years. I use a diverter valve that has a hose attached to it and it works great. It is easy to control the pressure and temp too. I also like to use toys to stimulate the whole anal area and I feel I get a deeper clean from that. I also fill and hold several times to make sure I am clean. I also like to shave the area to be as clean as possible.

I have introduced several men and women to this approach. A nurse taught me and she went very slow and gentle. Let me know what you think.. PWM, 50yo southwest OH Ted

How often is too often?

If you are not feeling well after your enemas or if you have had REAL physical exams and or blood tests that show abnormal results you may be taking enemas too often.

Bob, thanks for sharing the information on your machine. I'm interested in colonic cleansing and was wondering how to construct something for home use. It is a little complicated...

The opinion of an doctor would be kind of interesting...

but I guess every second week isn't too much. 😁

Essentially, no problem. Of course, one can overdo just about anything. Most can take them frequently, yet return to normal bowel function the next day or so. Lots of misinformation to the contrary finds its way into discussions of frequency and dependency.

Under normal circumstances, I never do more than session a week. A session consists of two to three enemas. -- DD

Most people are ok with weekly, though some may have trouble having a bowel movement without "assistance" even at that much. That is one determining factor. The other is how many in a single session, which havs to do with how quickly electrolytes are depleted. Maybe someone can provide us with signs of what to look for regarding electrolytes.

I enjoy 2 to 3 weekly. Been doing that for a long time now!
