What is best additive to aid retention?

I read that the use of Catnip tea calm the bowel and help in aiding prolonged retention.

I know catnip tea is a relaxant, but will it aid in retention?

I have a retention problem, even with inflatables.

I know Clove oil is used as an oral anesthetic (and used in desentitizing ointments for men.

If I made a tea from cloves and added that to my saline and/or bicarb mix, would it help relax the bowel to accept fluids and aid in retention by the anesthetic effect?

has anybody used any of these herbs/spices?

Ciao,

I have had good results from baking soda using 1 teaspoon per quart.

Thanks for posting. I have been looking for a good retention recipe. I'll try the baking soda today and see if it does the trick.

Thanks for the reply.

I usually use salt and/or Baking soda.

It is still hard for me to retain, I was wondering about the Catnip tea, or even clove oil or clove tea as an aid to retention.

I theorize if the colon is "relaxed" it would be easier to take and hold an enema.

Anyone try any of these?

Ciao

As I've posted on other parts of this site, a salt-water enema -- 1 desert-spoon of salt added to every litre of water -- calms the colon right down. I have been able to hold an enema for an hour, or longer. It is important to have an enema on an empty stomach, otherwise the constant feeling of nausea will get to you and you won't be able to retain your enema for too long.

Add vicks vapor rubb onto your nozzle, it aids in retention, by inducing contracting motions of the anal splincter mussel. Have Fun

I find that a coffee or yogurt enema is very easy to hold good luck and keep them flowing

I know from experience that baking soda and/or salt help with retention. i've also heard about catnip tea but have not tried it. If someone has had success with it i hope they post something for us. Think i'll nip over to the recipe file and see if there is any information there.
