Salt in enema

Frequent urination ruins the enema experience. Adding sea salt helps eliminate that.

... there I am with you; especially a positive side effect 😎

From experience, adding a teaspoon of sea salt to a quart of warm water is sufficient to create a proper balance. This is what my naturopath also recommends to her patients. She also recommends using filtered or spring water when doing enemas. I never thought it mattered, but I switched when I began doing probiotics retention treatments, and my C-related digestive problems have not felt better in years.

Does anyone know what the proper amount of salt and baking soda is to be isotonic per quart?

@plzu4ever It’s 9 grams of salt per liter if using salt alone. If baking soda alone, then 14 grams of baking soda per liter. So if you want to combine the two it’s 4.5 grams salt and 7 grams baking soda per liter.

When I was twelve, my RN grandmother taught me and my siblings personal hygiene. Teaching us, to add a teaspoon of salt per quart of warm water, along with Ivory bar soap for a soapy enema. Then, to add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda per quart of warm water, for a rinse enema. Something I still follow, whenever I give myself or someone else an enema.

How much sea salt per quart in teaspoons or tablespoons please? I always heard in over fifty years of enemaplay “one and one half tablespoons per quart”.I always do salty rinses. I used baking soda in my last coffee enema with good results. I want to try it my next sea salt rinse😍

@KingsGambit Thanks for the proportions.

@CaptNemo I never use salt or soda when taking a coffee enema because you want it to be hypotonic so it's absorbed thoroughly.
