Chamomile

@MissStress

Chamomile is suppose to be a relaxing tea. Maybe it would have the same affect up ones bum.

Yes, it has, in my time (early 60's) I remember that my older sisters received it to soothe the pains of their periods. For all the rest, soap sud was used. Mine were always with soap. But in case of nervousness or insomnia, a cup of chamomile tea was offered just before bed time together with a small bulb to be held until it was completely absorbed. It was just a little, maybe 150 or 200cc (5 or 6 fl oz) and absorbing it was easy.

@Veronica01 i see by your profile that you enjoy giving enemas. To whom have you given them?

My English is not good. I wrote wrong in my profile. I have never given an enema to another person.

Chamomile enemas have become out of use because many people have developed dangerous allergic ractions.

My mom always uses chamomile tea for my enemas !!

My enemas were always made with chamomile.

My wife's favorite enema mix.

Sounds soothing, think I will try it.

In the case of an allergy against chamomile taking a chamomile enema may be very dangerous. In our neighbourhood a woman drained daily her cup of chamomile tea in the afternoon, this since long years. Without any warning signs she collapsed one day immediately after having drunken her cup of tea. So pay attention with chamomile enemas!

Chamomile is likely safe when used in amounts commonly found in teas. Side effects are uncommon and may include nausea, dizziness, and allergic reactions. Rare cases of anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction) have occurred in people who consumed or came into contact with chamomile products.

Interactions between chamomile and cyclosporine and warfarin have been reported, and there are theoretical reasons to suspect that chamomile might interact with other drugs as well. Talk to your health care provider before taking chamomile if you’re taking any type of medicine.

Allergic reactions would seem to be rare if taking chamomile in limited amounts - orally or via an enema.

My childhood was marked by soap enemas. They were just awful, extremely uncomfortable.

By chance, enemas were admistered to me twice elsewhere, which were absolutely different. I got this from a friend's mother. At home I got a cloudy soap solution pressed up my butt, but here a brownish, tea-colored solution.

After the second enema on mine, I naturally asked what the difference was to what I got at home. The answer surprised me, especially since I only received one enema each time; Liquid in, wait a few minutes, then a longer session on the toilet.

I was given a tea blend that was relaxing and spasmodic in my colon.

The tea was made from caraway, fennel, anise, coriander, chamomile and peppermint. My friend's family also drank it. I tried it too and it tasted really good.

At some point I remembered it again. Since then, the solutions for our enemas have consisted of this mixture. Salt is added to this; the only difference to drinking tea. Also, the concentration for enemas is lower.

Another advantage is that the enema liquid greatly reduces odors.

We always have tea in stock. This is prepared with a higher concentration and frozen in appropriate ice cube bags. This means it can be accessed quickly when needed.

Since I was discharged from childhood, never again did any soapy solution spill into my colon. We love our tea enemas...
