Aloe Vera enemas

I would like to give myself an aloe vera enema today using Sunflower Farmers Market Aloe Vera Juice (Full Strength) and warm water, however I am unsure as to how much of each ingredient to use. My search on google.com suggests each of the following recipes: one half cup aloe vera juice and two quarts warm water, one cup aloe vera juice and one quart warm water, and four ounces aloe vera juice, four ounces extra virgin olive oil, and two quarts warm water. How much aloe vera juice and warm water do you recommend that I use, and what benefits did you receive from the recipe that you used?

Why do you want to take an aloe Vera enema? What effect(s) are you expecting?

Eric

Never used that

Doesn't sound like something I would want to do

How can you make that decision without ever trying it?

That sounds like, ". . . . a penis in my vagina? why would I want to do that. . . . "

At least try it once so you can have some experience with it and make an informed decision.

Why would anyone want an enema with soap and epsom salts that you like or like to hate?

Never heard of using aloe vera… what are the effects?

Got google???

You will get a lot of information there.

It is all in there. I saw a lot there. Too much to type here.

Fair enough @SwitchableSusie I do have this Google thing you speak of.

I was really asking more about the sensations than the health benefits, if any. And, folks here are pretty good at describing sensations!

I finally gave myself an enema using one quart of purified water and one quart of ale vera juice which I had heated to a warm temperature in a pan. I used a red enema bag with a three foot lubricated colon tube when I was on my knees on a towel in the bath tub with my head down and my bottom up in the air. The enema was the most relaxing and soothing enema that I have ever experienced. It was quite effective in cleansing, and two days later I had a second one which was relaxing and soothing. The next time I have one I am going to play some Native American flute music on my portable cd player and listen to the music while slowly releasing the solution using the colon tube. If you have an aloe vera and warm water enema, I would like to hear about your experiences.

Absolutely delightful gentle cleansing enema. Wally got Aloe Vera at a very good price. Kind of on par with urine or ACV enema. Urine is still a higher class though, made specifically for you.

ACV enema?

Eric

Eric; I believe ACV = apple cider vinegar....

Thanks, watertrain.

Eric

Be very careful if you decide to do a vinegar and or lemon enema since if you make the solution too strong it can cause severe damage!

I am going to have a soothing three quart enema today with aloe vera juice and warm water using my large red enema bag that has a hose connected to a two foot long colon tube. I am going to use a sandalwood scented candle and listen to Native American flute music on a cd player when I am having the enema for relaxation. How much aloe vera juice would do you recommend that I use? What benefits have you received when you have an aloe vera juice and warm water enema?

Aloe can contain aloin, which is an anthroquinone and has mild stimulant laxative characteristics. It is also thought to be a carcinogen, so the FDA pulled it from their generally recognized as safe list for drugs and no one has done any serious work to show that it is not a carcinogen that I know of.

Of course because of some high power lobbying and money the US has the pretty much unregulated "dietary supplement" biz, where manufacturers can sell almost anything with almost any claims as long as they have an asterisk and small print saying that even though they put it in big letters on the front no one has any proof that it really works or is safe. The good news is that AFAIK most aloe juice and gel has very low levels of aloin, so it would probably work more as an emollient than a laxative.

Given this information, it is interesting that aloe is a common ingredient in many hand and body lotions and many people keep an aloe plant in their kitchens to use the fresh gel from their leaves as a burn remedy.

I tried Aloe Vera in an enema one time. It's laxative effect was anything but "mild"

The main studies only show carcinogenic activity for ingested aloin, and since it took until 2002 for the FDA to pull aloin-containing drugs my guess is that it isn't a very strong carcinogen, and it usually is present only in very low quantities in gel and juice. That said I still wouldn't be particularly fast to put it in my colon because... well, colon cancer is a nasty disease. If a picture were being drawn of it as a fictional anthropomorphosed character it would probably be a sneaking, Nazi rat.

If you listen to all of these ongoing studies today, pretty much anything can be cancerous.

Feels like discussion of the N of angels on the head of a pin

Especially in California.

Doesn't apply to me ...... I don't live in California.

I hate those California labels. "something somewhere in this product might cause cancer," OK, that's useless, tell me WHAT it is and WHERE it is so I can do a risk evaluation and look into mitigation if I want to.

As in all things you have to do your own risk/benefits evaluation. What are the benefits of an aloe enema? Is it just emollient? If so then it probably is low risk as the presence of aloin in significant amounts would trigger a stimulant laxative response.

Must have something to do with all those sunny beaches.

A friend bought a high end suitcase for a few hundred dollars. There was a label inside that stated, "this product has materials known to cause cancer in California"

What the fuck is she going to do, eat the suitcase, zipper her head inside and use that for her main air supply???

She returned the suitcase.

just don’t use that suitcase in California ?

Well, many textiles contain (at least) traces of chemicals which are known to have negative effects on humans and animals, like cancer and/or allergies. Especially dyes often are dangerous but also synthetic fiber. If one wants to dye cotton or synthetic fibers, one needs to used additional chemicals, like heavy metal compounds.

Of course,it can be doubted that one has enough contact with a suitcase to have any signs of negative effects due to these chemical compounds. Not thinking about the factory worker producing the suitcase or the environment...

I recently heard about a study claiming cancerous effects of chamomile tea...

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest .....

After reading about Aloe Vera juice, I decided to try it. Put 2 1/2 qt of juice 1 1/2 qt’s of very worm water & 4 oz’ Dr Bonner peppermint soap. Lucky for me my wife offered to help. I enjoyed it very much and took it all, it really felt great.

A very prominent store chain, that does not need a plug from me, or does it, Hhhmmm.

Oops excuse me.

I consume aloe Vera juice regularly, and include it in enema waters often too. Makes me feel healthy.

The way those labs test rats is sad. Rats have to eat that till they get cancer and the lab gets paid. If they don't get cancer, the lab don't get paid. So they let a technician know there is a problem. Like the old saying goes, "Ya get what you pay for."

Synthroid has never gone through USDA food trials because it was grandfathered in. But none of the Medicare drug policies cover natural thyroid supplementation. Synthroid is what they think you need.
