Wheatgrass enemas

I have just discovered using wheatgrass in an enema to promote prostate health as well as many other benefits. I have yet to try this but just ordered some wheatgrass powder to give it a try. Like most enema lore, I think it is quackery but who knows? It can be a bit tricky so is best to start out with a small amount of wheatgrass powder and see how your body responds to it. Here is a link to an article but google will give you a list of info about wheatgrass enemas or taking it orally. https://www.purelifeenema.com/wheatgrass-enema/ It is possible you will have a negative reaction so read up on it and go slowly.

@Cal Let us know how it goes…

My wife recently picked up some Wheatgrass powder for us to add to our morning smoothies, Yuk! Let us know it goes. Maybe I will try this in my next enema session.

Just did my first wheatgrass enema 2 days ago. I mixed ½ tsp of wheatgrass powder by Terrisoul into what is now stretched into a 5 quart silicone bag with 101 degree water and 1 tsp salt per quart. I suppose a bit less salt would promote more intestinal absorption of the wheatgrass. Anyway it was a fine enema and holding 2 qts for 30 minutes was as exciting as always, then when I finally opened the valve to take as much as I could of the remaining amount in the bag the sensations were quite wonderful. I can't say that it was really any different from taking 4 qts of warm water or 4 qts of coffee which I find fascinating. The quasi benefits of wheatgrass seem to be described pretty much the same as taking coffee. I do like a coffee enema but it's just the mystique of it that is exciting. Being a science guy I can't find any real scientific basis for the benefits of coffee and now wheatgrass. In fact the real health benefits of enemas is questionable at best. But the sensations--a completely different matter. The excitement is awesome and if you let your mind travel down a woo woo path, it is wild fun.

A downside to wheatgrass is that the powder doesn't really completely dissolve. It leaves an annoying deposit on the walls of my silicone bag. So does coffee but at least it is just staining and not a powdery film.

So my initial review is kind of a shrug but I'll try it more and see what happens or where my imagination can take me.

A wheatgrass juice enema has been proven to be one of the best pallitive measures for relief of IBS symptoms as well.

I did a few colonics years ago which given by a nurse, and she was a great believer in the benefits of colonics as well as the benefits of wheat grass. At the conclusion of my colonic, she would mix up a fairly strong wheat grass and warm water solution and inject that into my rectum using a small syringe. I would hold that solution as long as I could, and then head to the john to expel-I’m not sure of the health benefits, but her treatments were certainly enjoyable.

There are lots of articles by naturopaths about the benefits of wheatgrass enemas. Lots of statements like; “….widely proven”, “….supported by studies”, “….commonly accepted”, etc., etc. etc. Can anyone reference an actual study that supports any of these claims??

If a patient thinks it helps, then it is probably helping - at least as a placebo if not medically.

I'm highly skeptical about the naturopath's findings and like real scientific studies. That said I do love enema play and find it very exciting. So I'll go with “play science” and visualize….well anything I want. But if I have medical issues this isn't where I'm going.

I've not tried nor used wheatgrass in enemas or for any other health issue. Though I have heard, and even considered, wheatgrass juice is good for ones skin when having a cast.

I did my second wheatgrass enema yesterday. This time throwing caution to the winds I took the recommended 2 tsp of wheatgrass powder in my 5 quart enema bag. Last time I just stirred it into a quart of salt water and dumped it into the bag. It make quite a mess, coating the sides of the bag with green powder remnants and not easy to clean out of the bag. This time I put it into a sauce pan with 1 qt water and heated it to near boiling. The powder dissolved fairly well and didn't cling to the side of the bag. I then added 4 more quarts of saline water to the bag and let it flow inside me.

As always the sensation of warm water flowing into my body was exciting. Holding 2 qts or so in me for 30 minutes was exciting but it always is. I can't say I noticed anything really different from the wheatgrass treatment. But one can conjure up a fantasy about it doing some mystery healing effect and that provides something to think about while one holds the water and experiences internal cramping which is exciting among other sensations. I did it solo but having an emate in charge of the “healing” process would be much better. So for me it is more of a mental state that one can focus on and enjoy rather than any real benefits from the enema solution, but even though I'm a skeptic, who knows?

@ Cal

A way to avoid the prep time and the mess from the powder is to get wheatgrass juice from a healthfood store. It's already in liquid form, and seems to be the right strength to use straight from the bottle.
