Coffee Enemas -- What kind of Coffee?

I am not a doctor so anything I say is personal opinion only. But I have had many coffee enemas since I discovered them four or five years ago.

Some web sites will try to sell you expensive "organic" enema coffee. But to borrow a phrase I saw here from someone else - "If it is good enough to drink, it is good enough to put up your ass." That being said, I use the same coffee that I drink. I don't think brand makes much difference, but I think you should not use decaffienated as that defeats the purpose of the liver cleanse. I also do not use instant. Never tried it. Maybe it is OK. Anybody have experience here?

What works for me is to take a small enema (plain or soapy, no matter) to empty the rectum. Then I take 1 quart of straight coffee cooled to about 105 degrees with a few ice cubes. I usually hold for about 15 minutes and then I get a good strong out. I have heard there is no reason to use a colon tube for coffee since it is only the rectum that absorbs the caffiene. If that is true, on your left side is probably best, but I like the right side. For me, it goes in easier on my right. Personal preference.

Try it a few times. If the coffee is a little irritating to your insides, dilute it with plain water or add a bit of baking soda. But for me, if I add baking soda it is easier to hold, but sometimes it doesn't come out when I am ready, so another enema of cool water works to kick it over. That is not exactly a bad thing, if you have the time.

I read this on the OHN site.... Personally I think it's a bullshit sell to get you to buy their coffee...

"Ground coffee only maintains its therapeutic elements for approximately two weeks. For this reason, OHN now recommends that you buy whole bean, made-for-enemas coffee, grind the coffee just before you brew it and use all the coffee that you grind immediately. This is also why we only sell small bags of ground coffee."

The acid and caffein in coffee wether ground or whole bean DO NOT lose potency after a few weeks. If anyone has proof otherwise I'd love to hear it along with a link to a reliable website containing this info.

You're right. The active ingredient in the coffee enema is the caffeine. Coffee may get stale as it ages, but the caffeine will be there for a long long time.

0ptimal Health Network Enema Coffee hole bean ,

i been using it for the last 7 years with no problem.

I'm sure you'd get the same results with regular organic coffee bought at Walmart. OHN is a money grab targeting those who think a "boutique" type brand of coffee will make a huge difference.

Not saying it doesn't work, just saying it's the same stuff as the rest and the difference does not justify the cost.

Go for the gurgle!!!

this is about 4 tablespoons for 2 quarts- more or less depending on the type of coffee you are using. This formula is for brewed coffee only. You should take it in one quart increments unless you are going for a huge buzz in which case you can take the full 2 quarts. Hold for 10-15 minutes

I've been using coffee enemas for years. A long time ago, I read that you should NOT use instant coffee or decaf. It doesn't have the same effects. Organic coffee is best because the pesticdpes and insecticides used during the growth of the coffee bean. Filtered water is best.

The coffee enema has been used for many years to detoxify the liver. It is a low-volume enema that remains only in the sigmoid colon. There is a duct between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the entero-hepatic circulation system. When the stool reaches this point, it contains many toxins, which are sent to the liver for detoxification. The coffee enema will increase the transit time in the bowel. The caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon and be eliminated. Releasing the toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification. The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of glutathione-S-transferase, which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways.

Coffee enemas will not waste minerals and electrolytes because they have already been absorbed in the previous sections of the intestines. The coffee enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not placed too high.

Switchablesue seems to be the best informed on this question/ The only reason to take a coffee enema is the caffine. I have used instant caffinated coffee for years. You can feel the time when the liver and bile duct release the toxins === you feel sooo much better/ I have been doing this at the direction of an MD. Although he preferes organic coffee, the instant is a good alternative.

I am of the same opinion as owen20342 and RoyalFlush78987; if coffee is good enough to drink, it's good enough as an enema. Used either way, I can surely feel the effect of the caffeine; however, for use as an enema, I stock Folgers as a less expensive brand. For coffee I drink, I am more discriminatory for the taste.

Additionally, I go for the full two quarts to satisfy my preference for the sensation of fullness - a "real" enema - and use seven spoons of ground for full strength.

I brew a quart of freshly ground coffee and mix it with a quart of plain water. After a cleansing plain water enema I take the coffee solution and hold it for 5 to 10 minutes. Then another plain water enema to get real clean and refreshed.

I finally rummaged through "that box" in the top of the closet and retrieved the smaller red bag I'd used, years ago, for coffee enema. Then ventured to our local health foods store and bought a pound of Light Roast beans (a bit pricey at $ 7.50/lb. see Switchablesusie's post, # 63). The beans I got are a dark yellowish brown. They tend to leave a residue in my coffee grinder.

Now on day three of the protocol but am feeling "mighty fine." Will continue on a daily basis for another week then drop back to twice a week.

Hey all,

I managed to get my hands on 2 huge bags of authentic daily drinker Cuban coffee so I ground up the beans (fine grind) and tried it as an enema. Here is my experience...

Brewed a little more than 1/4 cup of coffee in 2 quarts of filtered Ottawa tap water using a regular coffee brewer on slow drip.

First session: I tried it with a tablespoon of baking soda and held it for 15 mins. It is very mild and holding it was super easy. There was no pain or cramping.

For the second session I tried adding less than a teaspoon of baking soda and still the cramping was minimal and it was easy to hold.

Tomorrow I'll try it with no baking soda and see if it results in any cramping or gurgling.

I'm guessing Cuban grown coffee is far more organic than the typical North American brands so I'm wondering I this has anything to do with its mildness or does it just have less caffeine... Has anyone else tried 100 percent Cuban grown coffee in their enema regime?

I don't use decaf coffee for any purpose. I want coffee for the caffeine kick!

I also would not use instant coffee, since I would be wary of what chemicals were used to make it "instant."

I don't buy fancy organic coffee either. Cafe Bustelo is cheap and available at most fine grocers near you. There are a few others: All in the general class of "Cafe El Cheapo"! (A few are espresso, if you like the extra caffeine kick.)

Lets face it: yer gonna squirt this stuff up yer butt then squirt the results down a toilette. You really don't need $39.95 per pound organic, special made for enemas, coffee for that! (IMHO!) (But if you like it and can afford it...enjoy!)

I usually make a full 10 cups in my coffee maker and add cooler water to make 6 quarts of a moderate temperature. If I really plan to hold it for a long time I only use 4 quarts 'cause I can comfortably hold that volume a long time (15-20 minutes.) (I can hold 6 quarts too, but that gets really unpleasant.)

I have a plastic basket in my coffee maker since I read that the filter papers filter out a chemical in the coffee that helps detox the liver. I've heard it's better if you have a metal, screen basket.

Some folks insist on filtered water. But since I use 6 quarts at a time and maybe 6 enemas in a series, filtering 36 quarts of water is tedious. But I agree it is probably better to use filtered water.

I also read somewhere, that holding a coffee enema for longer than 10 minutes defeats the purpose, since the liver empties toxins at first, then starts to re-absorb them after 10 minutes.

There are all sorts of people with different "science" on this, including those who insist the "science" is all hokum.

Some people use very elaborate recipes: I think they are into the ritual of their recipes. Though different recipes will have different effects on your "outcome"! 😁

I would love to see a study done on the pesticide content of organic vs non organic coffee and I'm willing to bet anything that these so called "pesticide free", organic coffees do in fact contain pesticides

I just wanted to say, I LOVE COFFEE ENEMAS, thanks to everybodies stories, yum yum yum kiss kiss

Organic coffee is about $9.00 per pound (not $39.95), Folgers is about $6.00. If you are going for the caffeine buzz, organic has 48% more caffeine. Which is about the price difference (cost/pound of caffeine content) . If you are going for the health, detox aspects of coffee enemas you have additional advantages. See sawilsons.com for more information on coffee enemas.

I am in the regular coffee group. Like many others have said I do not believe organic coffee is worth the price.

Think about it. If you drink regular supermarket or even Starbucks coffee every day it spends a lot more time going through your whole body than a coffee enema up your a** for fifteen minutes or so. So unless you only drink organic coffee too it makes no difference.

I tend to agree with RedBulb99. I don't see how something relatively harmless like coffee you pour down your throat can do much damage pumping it up your ass! I'm also somewhat sceptical about the whole organic deal - I think it's all just marketing hype. With coffee enemas we're after the caffeine which is absorbed in the lower parts of the colon. Going decaf is completely nonsensical.

If organic coffee really contains more caffeine, then just make any non-organic enema coffee mix stronger.

Organic coffee DOES NOT contain more caffeine. The supposed reason for organic is that coffee is one of the most insecticide sprayed crops there is.

By the way, you want LIGHT ROAST COFFEE.

The darker the roast, the less caffeine because the extended roasting burns it off.

Freshly brewed coffee is the best.

An hour ago, I had three quarts of fresh brewed coffee ready to go - lying down with the tip already inserted - when I was suddenly inspired to try a new twist. I have some old Viagra tablets stuck away in a drawer that haven't been used in several years and wondered what the effect might be if added to the coffee. I ground half a tablet (50-mg. worth) and dumped it in the open-top bag and watched it dissolve instantly. After commencing with the enema and emptying the bag in two minutes, the Viagra was "fully effective" within ten minutes. Yes, Viagra works quite well this way!

It's comical that some folks believe special coffee is required. Your lower intestine won't know the difference. I buy the cheap stuff. It's great for rinsing out a soapsuds enema. I feel much better the next day. Coffee enemas do keep me awake if injected late at night. Use your own judgement. Whatever works...... Using brewed tea made my gut feel rough. I won't try that again.

It matters not what people use, I just like the facts to be as accurate as possible. I did reference s.a. wilson's in my 1st note. Here is what on the website

"independent lab tests show that s.a.Wilsons Gold Roast coffee is up to 48% higher in Caffeine and up to 87% higher in the more important Palmitic Acid. That's higher than any commercially available coffee. These higher levels make Wilson's coffee the most unique coffee available, without exception.

This is also the reason that s.a.Wilsons Blend Coffee is recommended by more professionals than any other single brand of coffee. It is the coffee of choice for the Gerson Research Organization, The Hospital Oasis, The Issels Therapy, Dr. William Donald Kelley's Protocol, CHIPSA Hospital, Hildenbrand Alternatives."

I am not naive enough to believe everything I read on the internet is true, Otherwise I would think organic coffee needs to cost $39.95 per pound and that all organic coffees don't have more caffeine. I would hope people would put forth accurate information.

Below is a website link that provides information about Robusta coffee beans for coffee enemas:

I am curious as to what type of coffee others have used for coffee enemas and where the coffee can be purchased online.

Using coffee enemas for a long time. I just use folgers regular blend

Coffee enemas are a vital part of the detoxification process. The purpose of the enemas is to remove toxins accumulated in the liver and to remove free radicals from the bloodstream. In the 1920s, two German professors tested the effects of infused caffeine on rats. They found that the caffeine travels via the hemorrhoidal vein and the portal system to the liver, opens up the bile ducts and allows the liver to release bile, which contains toxins. The theobromine, theophylline, and the caffeine in coffee dilate blood vessels and bile ducts, relax smooth muscles, and increase the bile flow.

I use whatever I have on hand...today's brew is Dunkin' Doughnuts!! ;-)))

I use what ever I bought that I didn't taste all that great. Just save it back for my next coffee enema. I haven't found any difference in any of the various coffees I have used over the years. I think coffee enemas help with relieving headaches and sometimes if I am just feeling kinda blah, they seem to help lift me out of my crappy mood.

David 😃

I'm in agreement with debgurl. I use whatever I have on hand. Sometimes it's Folgers, sometimes Maxwell House, sometimes Taster's Choice instant. It all seems to work about the same to me. I read frequently about making sure that you only use organically grown coffee, etc., but I can assure you that if you can drink the stuff with no adverse effects you can safely take an enema with it.

The best part of waking up... Is Folgers in your butt!

Ok sorry- saw it elsewhere on the Internet and just couldn't resist. Never tried a coffee enema but hope y'all got a chuckle.
