Coffee Enemas -- General Discussion

I do coffee enemas routinely. A good friend of mine told me about them--she uses them to stop her migraines.

There are a lot of pages on this site with info about coffee enemas. But it seems almost everyone has an idiosyncratic (personalized) method. Alternative health doctors sometimes prescribe coffee enemas.

I use a coffee enema when I am coming down with a cold (more than half the time, very helpful) or I am so tired I can't get moving. If I drank too much coffee (more than a cup) it would make me shaky, but the coffee enema does not.

Note: Probably best done before noon. Start with a weak solution of low volume to see how your body takes it. Try to retain for 15 to 20 minutes. I usually take 2 cups of hot coffee and dilute with cold water until it's just warm. Maybe a cup of cold water. You could use a syringe or bag. Sometimes I hold it until it is absorbed completely, but sometimes even after an hour of holding I have to expel.

Oh, and it's supposedly more therapeutic if you have a bowel movement before the coffee enema. You could try a warm water enema if you don't have the urge to go.

I am not a doctor, nurse, or any kind of health professional. If you have been told to cut down on caffeine you better get a doctor's opinion.

Gee, I tried a coffee enema, and it didn't do a thing for me that a regular plain water enema wouldn't do. I drink at least 6 cups every morning, so maybe I have a tolerance for coffee.

Any thoughts?

I am using coffee retention enemas for a health problem.. but also find them erotic and pleasurable.

Can anyone give me advice on the following: 1. Should I take a cleansing enema before a coffee retention enema? Is it necessary? 2. Would a cleasing enema increase the benefits of the coffee retention enema?

I'm somewhat confused in the amount of coffee enema to use... I've read were only one pint should be used and retained at one time, and have also read where up to 2 quarts can be used- though I would think this amount would be difficult to retain.

If your intention in taking the coffee enemas is liver cleansing and prevention of reabsorbing so called toxic bile by the gut, here is the Gerson recipe. (Max Gerson died in 1959. I don't think drip coffee makers were readiy available then):

ONE quart of regular (NOT DECAF) coffee made the usual way for drinking. It is cooled to body temperature and is taken as an enema and retained for 15 minutes, then expelled. A pre-cleansing enema is NOT necessary.

I have been starting my day with a coffee enema (or 2) for many years.

You don't need to clean out first - unless you want to. What you should do is use the Mae West enema instead of just coffee. There is a recipe here but it's basically 1 tablespoon each of baking soda and sea salt added to each quart of coffee. It makes it easy to retain. 30 or 40 minutes is not uncommon for me. i always feel great afterward.

You can have a coffee enema any time of day. i get a nice lift from it but no excessive caffeine high or jitters.

Take your time and enjoy.

Susie I wanna buy you a cup!

Coffee for enemas when used by persons with health problems should be organic.

JFG, Folgers, Choc-full-O-Nuts, Maxwell house etc. are blended coffees. This is done to ensure the cup you have today taste the same as the cup you had on vacation last year. They MAY contain small amounts of chemicals, pesticides etc. in healthily adults these are so small amounts that they pose no problem.

With a person having health issues don't take any unnecessary risk. Organic cost more for a reason.

That is an extremely hyperosmotic solution and will draw water into the colon, potentially dehydrating you a little, but not if you drink a couple of glasses of water, and causing a return trip or two to the toilet because of the water it draws into the colon.

Mag citrate and fleet phospho-soda laxatives are called hyperosmotic because they draw water into the colon. They exert a high osmotic pressure to capture water.

I have used coffee enemas several times for detox-works great and the feeling afterwards is remarkable.

I've never tried a coffee enema but will be trying one soon.

I used coffee a few times. Really enjoy the feeling afterwards.

I began using coffee enemas in early 2004 for health problems. I thought I needed to detox. Now, almost 5 years later, I still have no idea if coffee enemas actually purge toxins from one's liver. However, what I discovered about the routine use of coffee enemas is that they produced a mild to moderate analgesic effect,as well as helping me doze off to sleep. For that reason I continue to use them even today whenever my pain level is no longer tolerable.

I tell you this to say that in everything I've read over the past 10 years with regard to liver flushes, this idea of drinking olive oil and mixing a solution of Epsom Salts with it just never set right with me. One day last year I was discussing this topic with my wife. When I told her about the recipe she asked if they were trying to make soap. My wife knows more about life in the 17th & 18th centuries then she does about the 21st. Anyway, I began to do some more research and discovered the article I've posted below.

Regards, The Cave Man

Caveman, the reason for the olive oil followed by the epsom salts is actually very simple physiology, and what Quackwatch says about the color and formation of the "stones" is correct.

The liver makes bile, and it is stored in the gall bladder. When fat is present in the small intestine (the olive oil you drank), the gall bladder squirts out lots of bile because 4-8 ounces of olive oil is a lot of fat. Now, the two tablespoons of epsom salts in the pint of water you drank, draws lots of water into the colon which gives you a very watery stool to flush everything out, which is further aided by the coffee enema.

Wasn't that simple? 😁 😁 😁 😁

Even though I have had a near accident by drinking epsom salts and water (possibly the most vile solution I have ever tasted), I am tempted to try this. (I suggest you do not fart--what you think is gas is likely to be not.)

I've sworn off coffee enemas too. We'll see how long that lasts.

I have been taking coffee enemas for a health problem for four weeks... one per week, one and a half pints with a retention period of 15 to 20 minutes.

After the enema I often feel weak and shaky for a while, and sometimes feel thirsty.

Can anyone tell me if this is a normal experience... and what do you suggest?

Hi Frank

Are you using a cleansing enema before your coffee enema?

How strong is the coffee mixture?

If the coffee mixture is too strong it can cause your symptoms.

Try reducing the amount of coffee in your enema. You can also use a rinse enema after the coffee enema.

I am saving my cup of coffee for later. Got a test today and class tonight, so I have to wait for my coffee. I have a big red rubber gallon Klystra bag. My wife, when I can get her to give me my enema, says I wanted a gallon bag and I will take every last drop.

I will fill that bag with warm water and a little Epsom salt then the crowning touch, a cup of Starbucks coffee. Yippee! 😄

I am using a colon tube in 15-18 inches. Is this the best method? Maybe it is my love of the tube.

No, I am afraid to due to my high BP.

I use a 12 cup pot of coffee or what is left from the previous day. Sometimes I add water if the pot is only half full. When the temp is comfortable, this makes a gentle enema without harsh cramps. I use breathing and massage to manage the gas pockets. Use whatever volume is comfortable for retention. The coffee even as beverage strength helps to soften fecal matter. I try to hold until the urges calm down enough so I can relax on the toilet. This helps to keep hemmorhoids shrunk. I have used it for years in good health.

Found this link to the issue of coffee enema where you'll find a great deal of information including how to.

Coffee enemas are alot of work. I usually make a quart or 2 of coffee, put it in my bag and very slowly take the enema in a comfortable position. The enema filling takes 30-45 minutes taking only a small amount at a time. I feel t hat the coffee has a good chance of working, if it remains in me for a longer period. Usually my enemas are quick and done and on to something else, so coffee enemas are done less than once a month.

I take a coffee enema about once a month, but I do it for the heck of it, not because I'm expecting anything medical benefits to come of it.

I tried them and I'm not that fascinated by them. It does feel like plain water in the belly, but gives you exactly the same coffeine rush like drinking the same amount of coffee. May be a quite high dose combined with some bondage could be interesting. 😉

Speaking for myself, the coffee enema if retained for 15 or 20 minutes gives similar results of drinking several cups of coffee. There is an added benefit though since the caffeine helps your liver to get rid of toxins.

I first learned about coffee enemas in a book about alternative medicine. My wife and I tried the regular detox recipe. Both of us enjoyed the experience, but it does take time to boil, filter, and cool the coffee.

Later I thought about using the regular coffee that was left over in our coffee pot. It's not as strong, but I found that it is pleasant to take and retain for about 15 minutes. About once every three months or so, I still make a detox enema.

I hold my coffee enemas til i have to pee twice.

Feels really good then.

. . . . You can use plain old ground coffee-it doesn't have to be organic. Just don't use decaf as it may contain traces of chemicals from the decaffeinating process that you don't want to inject into you. . . .

In a coffee enema, it is the caffeine that is the active ingredient. That is what has the effect on the liver. You don't need to be cleaned out first, you don't need two quarts and you don't need it to go very high.

Without the caffeine, you might as well use water.

I had one yesterday myself, you could tell it was working by the way it had me peeing so much after. Was really nice.

I so agree the retention time is so good. The sensation of retaining and I have to admit the aroma is much more pleasant than a plain water enema. I also like the energy boost felt afterwards

I just read about a recipe on the internet that uses the coffee grounds in the enema.I really like the feeling of a coffee enema but have not used the grounds, has anyone tried this and if so what was the outcome. Is it difficult to pass all of the coffee grounds?

I have done coffee enemas but I would not recomend coffee grounds. May cause problems.
