Coffee Enemas -- General Discussion

I too believe in the benefits of coffee enemas!

I had my first coffee enema last week. I can see how people get addicted

I love coffee enemas! I have 5-6 a week. Am I addicted? I don't think so. I can go a week without if time doesn't allow them without any problem. But I do make time for them.

I once corresponded with Sheila Shay, a colon hydrotherapist in Arizona. Her advice was that the absorption happened low in the colon and only a quart of coffee solution was needed and held for 15 minutes.

Never tried one. After all these years and countless enemas. One of these days I'm gonna give it a try. I understand the absorption ability of the colon and have been leary of putting anything but water and a little mild soap up there. Just me.

Agree with jimmyt44's coments above. Based on what I've read about coffee enemas, and assuming you're a believer in their therapeutic value, only 2 cups to a quart held in the lower colon for about 15 to 20 minutes are all that is necessary to achieve their benefit.

Just diagnosed with an infection and am now on antibiotic. (Site where basal cell carcinoma was removed got infected.) Not sure if it will help, but it cannot hurt for me to do coffee enema detox, so just did that, a little more than a quart of lightly diluted coffee held for 20 minutes. Feeling good - awake but relaxed.

I mistakenly used espresso grind, so I will do some plain water rinses to get out some of the coffee granules that remain inside me. (I understand that rinsing is not really needed if you use regular grind.)

This one was for health. Butt it does feel great.

Dr Oz discussed coffee enemas on his program today (2-19-14). He obviously wasn't a fan. I heard him comment about all the negatives associated with coffee enemas (any enemas for that matter, as far as he was concerned), and then the show went to a commercial. I was waiting for him to comment on what the proclaimed "pro's" were for coffee enemas, but then the show took off in another direction, so I heard and learned nothing. Anyone else out there watch this show today? Did I miss somethng? He talked about bowel perforation, which I found a bit silly. Ya....if you're sticking sharp, hard, pointy objects up your butt, then sure, you stand a good chance of bowel perforation. Seems like the vast majority of folks on this site have enough common sense to not be doing that. If one has to be told that, they probably should lay off enemas altogether.

I just had my first coffee enema. OMG!!! I love it!!

I am relatively new to this enema thing compared to many of you so I have been pretty vanilla with my enemas so far. I started with Fleets, got into 2 quart castile soap or plain warm water and loved it. I have been reading here how many of you do coffee. I read with interest the previous posts by RedBulb99 and Cheryl how they really like coffee with a bulb.

A couple of weeks ago I spotted a Faultless 8 oz rectal syringe at the local CVS and bought it to experiment with. I had not had a bulb enema before, and gave myself a few small ones. Quite fun, actually.

So tonight was my opportunity. My husband would not be home for a while so I brewed a quart of coffee, cooled it with a few ice cubes, and took it with the bulb. I gave myself 3 bulbs and held that a few minutes till the urge to expel went away, then put in about 4 more bulbs which emptied the quart pitcher. I managed to get to nearly 30 minutes total before the urge to expel got strong. Not only did it feel really nice going in but I tickled the kitty till I almost passed out before heading to the toilet. So now I feel wide awake but relaxed, and thoroughly clean inside.

Husband expected in about 15 more minutes and I am wondering how in the world I can convince him to try this.

Been using coffee enemas for 20 years. I take or am given 3 or 4 two liter enemas during each session. They make me feel wonderful and seem to give me more engery.

Coffee enemas definitely top the list of my favorite enemas. I like to do a little soap enema prior to the coffee enema. This allows me to hold the coffee enema for at least 20 or 30 minutes without feeling the need to run to evacuate. I usually brew a strong pot of coffee, much stronger than I would normally drink. I'm kind of a coffee wimp, preferring the milder roasts of coffee. I like to brew about 6 to 8 cups of coffee. I allow the coffee to cool sufficiently, sometimes resorting to adding ice cubes if necessary.

Nozzle choice is usually some sort of retention style. Lately, I prefer the single balloon latex nozzle I acquired about six months ago. I like to keep the flow rate to a slower pace, this seems to help with being able to retain the enema for a longer time. A butt plug is handy as well, of course, after the nozzle is removed.

Coffee enemas seem to clear my head, especially if I am feeling rather mentally fatigued. I'm not sure if this is psychological or actually the caffeine working it's magic. Either way, I enjoy the feeling. I seem to have more energy as well. All in all, the coffee enema is well worth a try, if you have never experienced one. I "highly" recommend it. 😃

Don't know if this has been asked elsewhere but I was wanting information from knowledgeable sources concerning the benefits of coffee enemas.

I've read they detox the liver and the caffeine jolt in the bowel will stimulate you like coffee does in larger quantities taken orally.

Also recently heard they will thwart the unpleasant side effects of chemo treatments.

I take enemas for pleasure and sense of well being. With my eMate, a prelude to rousing lovemaking.

Thinking about adding coffee enemas for pleasure too.

What say ye?

Will the instant coffee be a satisfactory replacement to the brewed stuff?

You'll hear arguments on both sides regarding the health benefits of coffee enemas - though you'll rarely hear anything negative.

The caffeine's effect is not the same as when you ingest it (at least not for me). It has more of a mellowing affect on me.

If you and your mate take enemas for pleasure and as a prelude to sex, then you will love coffee enemas. They are very pleasurable and soothing. Just make sure you let them cool down to a reasonable temperature - say below 115º. A modest volume is sufficient. I like to stay below 2 quarts and increase the retention time.

@Alex von Trust - If you're simply taking them for pleasure, then I would think instant will yield the desired results. Purists and health advocates recommend using organic beans and boiling them to extract the essential oils, etc.

Myself - I just brew up a strong batch in my 10 cup Mr Coffee. It seems to be a good volume for me and makes for a very pleasurable enema.

Same here. Brewed Folgers in a 12 cup coffee maker (about 2.25 quarts)... I tried the organic route and ran as controlled a comparison test as possible anally following the instructions and the difference felt was marginal, if even noticeable.... But let's not turn this into an organic vs non organic thread. There are lots of other threads for that 😉

I like to hear that others just use the coffee maker for simplisity also. I have found them very benifical for my health, but I choose not to discuss it here. A really strong pot full 2X a week, hold for 45+ min.

Yesterday was a watershed (if you will pardon the expression.) I did two 1-gallon baking soda clean outs (in increments), then a quart of coffee, then some salt-water rinses. I felt the 'lift' and saw the results. Still feeling energetic and 5 pounds lighter.

Butt I wonder if the salt water may not have been a good idea. It took many hours for the fluid to evacuate.

Before I began yesterday, I searched the forums for "coffee" "enema" and "rinse" I saw a wide variety of ideas, but it seemed that rinses were a good idea. I wanted to get rid of the gunk and did not want it to just get absorbed which I understood would have happened if I had done plain water rinses. Anybody have insights on that?

e-chuck

PS I did a couple of clear water rinses this morning and finally ran clear.... Feeling a little tired but calm.

So what is a good recipe? Might try one this weekend.

Simple, effective recipe

Bring to a boil a quarter cup of ground regular coffee in 48 ounces of water. Allow to cool. I made it the night before and reheated in microwave to 105F.

I took mine first thing in the morning to take advantage of the caffeine high.

I used a double balloon catheter to facilitate retention, but with a slow flow rate and abdominal massage, the same results can be had using a nozzle.

Retain fifteen minutes or more to allow for absorption of the caffeine. Lie on your back and massage your tummy during retention to prevent cramps.

A rinse enema is optional.

Okay Folk, tell me about the difference between "good" coffee (Starbucks and/or better) and any of the ORGANIC coffee. We're about ready to start the "Gerson Regimine" and, of course designates "organic" coffee.

Talk to me People, I need help. OVER

the boxcar

Thanks, tried this a few years ago but somehow it had little effect. Maybe the mix was too weak.

HA!

DON'T use Starbucks. Their coffees are too dark roasted.

LIGHT roasts have more caffeine because the heat in the roasting process burns off the caffeine.

I tried the coffee enemas before. I made it boil for 5 mins and simmer for 15 mins. I had it inject it up my ass. They were perfect and excellent. They were refreshing and relaxing. But they kept me awake all night. and that was the effect of caffeine in the liquid

I follow Dr. Balch's routine in his book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing. He and now his wife Phyllis were pretty much aligned with the Gerson routine. Basically this is two, 24oz enemas in sequence.

There is a Dr. Wilson who has a slightly different protocol that involves shining a heat lamp on the abdomen during the retention period. I don't have a heat lamp but have adopted a heading pad. I prefer it to nothing in the way of heating the belly. You can find Wilson's approach on Ben Greenfield's fitness website:

The only coffee enema I had was rather boring. I didn't feel an effect of the caffeine, it feels like salted water. What was wrong?

I find that I get the best results by bringing coarse ground light roast to a boil in 1 1/2 quarts water and then simmerring for 15-20 minutes. Then I decanting or strain the liquid. I usually end up with about a quart, but top off with water if it is much less or I want a much larger volume enema.

How much ground coffee? Somewhat a personal preference. I use what is considered quite a bit at about 1/2 cup. On occasion I use more.

I find it easy to retain for 30-40 minutes. That gives me good results.

I use fresh brewed often too when I don't want to take the time to prepare a decoction.

As stated, a rinse is not necessary. I've done small total absorption implants of coffee as well.

There are loads of varying opinions and preferences out there on this topic. Experiment to find what you like and what works for you.

I have a problem with this stupid statement about regular coffee taken from here http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2014/06/bulletproof-coffee-enema/

Let’s face it: you don’t want pesticides in their colon…do you? But most commercial coffees often have pesticides on them.

Duhhh YEAH they do.. That's why they WASH the beans prior to roasting.

Basically these people who are peddling their coffee are trying to tell us that they don't use ANY pesticides? How do we know that? Just because they tell us? I call BS on that.

Owen ^^^ I've noticed theres a growing trend amongst some of them making dubious claims as regards products & foisting their suspect supplements on an often gullible public....You would think the FDA (equivalent of our TGA) would scrutinize this more closely.

Genuine reputable distributors & therapists make no such claims.

The problem we have in the states, is that unless it involves regulated drugs, the Food and Drug administration is powerless to do anything about it. As many of these products contain useless supplements, and not any really effective in doing anything but fleecing gullible people, nobody has any interest in cleaning it up or regulating it.

Any products designed for human consumption, fall under the strict guidelines of the department of Agriculture. This group inspects, tests, and regulates production of consumables, and does have the power to enforce regulations and compliance. With regards to coffee beans, regardless of whether you are drinking it, or giving yourself an enema with it, they inspect the production of the product, and also test the finish products for any form of contamination such as pesticides, or other harmfull non-consumable products.

I've taken two coffee enemas just to see what they felt like, and like some others here, felt no difference compared to water or saline. Thus, though I had no ill effects, I have no reason or interest in repeating them. I'm in the medical profession, and though I haven't done a lot of serious reading about them, and though I'm sure they are pleasant and probably produce a caffeine buzz and some subjective benefits for some (e.g., pain relief, migraine), I have extremely serious reservations about most of the claims made for their use. I'm not aware of any serious, properly controlled studies done by known and well-regarded researchers to substantiate claims of liver or other "detoxification." Links to serious studies would be interesting. Meanwhile, use standard good-sense practices when enjoying enemas, coffee or otherwise, which most people here seem to do.
