Cayenne Pepper and Enemas

Let me start by saying that by reading this, you will think, "This individual is NUTS!"

I injured my back last June putting one of those large cartons used to hang clothing into our SUV's rear. We had about 75 shirts and jackets hung in the basement, many of which had been there for many years. We decided to donate them to our local thrift shop. My back has been sore since then. Last Friday, I did something that bothered the Carpal Tunnel in my right thumb, making my digit and my back both painful Saturday morning.

Saturdays are the days that I do an enema series. This past weekend I decided to take five enemas. I tend to give myself punishment enemas because I enjoy the cramps. My first was a liter of reasonably hot water, including a tablespoon of cayenne pepper. For those interested, when one reads the discussions here at Zity, one will find references to the use of Vick's VapoRub as a lube, many times. Cayenne pepper in the amount that I used stings a little more than the Vick’s VapoRub.

This past Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020, I ended up taking five enemas as follows:

The Cayenne Pepper,

Four tablespoons of Dr. Wood's Peppermint liquid soap in three liters,

Strong Ivory Bar soap in three liters,

Three liters of water with three teaspoons of table salt, and

One liter of strong coffee.

Saturday morning enemas generally include some chatting here on the Zity enema room and sometimes reading a book. I'm usually doing all this between 8 am and Noon. While cleaning up, I noticed that my thumb and back were feeling great, with no pain.

Saturday evening, I glanced at the Kindle edition of Enema Cookbook - 50+ recipes, by Elizabeth Morgan. I looked through the index and found a recipe for Cayenne enemas. In this book, along with the recipes, there is information about what each recipe provides for the user. Under cayenne, it states among all the benefits the following: "Cayenne Enemas relieves and can even numb pain." It is now Monday afternoon, after 4 pm, and I'm still pain-free. After each bowel movement, I will be giving myself an 8 oz bulb of warm water with a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in it and just let it absorb into my colon till the next day. Maybe this will keep the pain away. I surely hope so. I'll try to remember to add to this in a week to keep anyone interested up to date.

Did the Pepper give you a burning/tingling sensation or more towards the standard cramps from a good soapy? A good enema is much better than taking more pills IMHO.😃

Isn’t taking a cayenne enema sorta of like taking a pill? If it works for pain relief, great.but I am not a believer in naturopathedics.

Why not add some Tabasco Sause and really "Feel the Bern"?

After a dozen years here I thought I heard it all........

For those that are slightly credulous over the OP's posting let me say that he is completely legit. At the last efest in the before time the Mistress of ceremonies had everyone in attendance state their favorite enema. She started with the people sitting on her left and started to go around the room clockwise. 3/4th of the way round the room she got to Frank and his fave enema. Upon hearing Frank's she stopped the proceedings and said "no way". She told Frank to hold that thought and finished going around the room. After getting all the shy ones hiding in the corners she went back to Frank. In front of the entire efest said she just had to see him take his fave enema. She told him to drop his pants and hop on the demonstration table. While frank was getting undressed she went to the kitchen and mixed up Frank's fave enema. (hehe I'm sure Frank can reply and add in the recipe. 😃 ) The assembled room full of enema freaks (my loving term for my fellow enema lovers) was then amazed as the Mistress of Ceremonies hung the bag of VERY VERY Strong crampy enema solution, inserted nozzle, and opened the clamp. Frank took the enema like a trooper. For those who are curious he took it on all fours head down and she reached over and felt his tummy cramping from the enema.. When the bag was empty the Mistress removed the nozzle and exclaimed "I did not believe you could actually take that enema". After the round of applause (and partial standing ovation) frank replied that he was enjoying the cramps and he would hold it a bit longer. 😃

He went from a efest rookie to a demo subject in less than 24 hrs. 😃 Not bad for an old guy. 😃

One of my favorite expressions, now that I'm an old guy.

And sometimes less inhibited with age.

Ladies and Gentlemen; Absolutely... No Way! No way would I put cayenne pepper, Ghost pepper, Habanero, jalapeno, Seranno....or Tobasco.... I'll stick with hot or cold water with table salt and maybe some ivory soap suds. Enemas, to me, should be a thing of joy and not pain.... Something that to be looked forward to and not something of dread! Did one with lemon juice one time and never again. Cramps that were so bad that I got the dry heaves... Sweat pouring from my body and aches! I had to climb into a tub of cold water and put compresses on my head for hours. Again, never again will I do that kind of enema.... even if my wife wanted to do it to me!

Miker's experience got me thinking about what went wrong. I've collected what I think is reliable info over the years on different enema recipes. Lemon juice needs to be very dilute, much less that what you'd ever drink. A good reference is the enema section of Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch and Balch.

Just a friendly added caution about lemon juice since it was just mentioned here. I've never done it nor plan to as my colon is far too sensitive to many chemical irritants, even strong soap. From my reading even before joining here 5 years ago, lemon juice in an enema reportedly produces pretty severe cramping, especilly freshly-squeezed as opposed to bottled juice. I have no idea what concentration does this, nor a dose-response curve, but do it cautiously to start if you ever do try it. I'm sure other members here can inform you better.

I'll pass on this one.

Curious What are the important health benefits?

It may help to reduce high blood pressure. Also some studies show it can slow cancer cell growth.
