I, like many of us, suffer from occasional irregularity. There have been a whole lot of television advertisements for products that relieve irregularity. But none of them offer to treat the problem as soon as it is identified.
My treatment for irregularity is simple, reliable and natural. About an hour before bed time, I draw a hot bath. Once the tub is full, I put my bath pillow at one end and drop my higginson pump in the bath.
After sitting and then laying down in the bath for about five minutes or more; much of the tensions of the day have been soaked away. It is then that I insert the rectal tube and start to slowly and gently pumping the hot water into my intestines. Since I am laying down with my knees up, it takes quite a number of pumps to reach the point where I feel that I am completely full.
Once I know that I have a full gut; I remove the rectal tube, stand up, get out of the tub and start to dry off. Since the commode is next to the tub, I know that there will be no accidents. I can complete my dry off, even while sitting on the commode.
In a few minutes, I have expelled a goodly amount of what went in. At this point, I put on my robe and go to the kitchen for a cup of tea or hot chocolate. I then go to the living room with my beverage to read or watch television. After 20 to 30 minutes, the enema solution that made it to the upper bowel is ready to be expelled.
Once I am confident that my bowels at completely empty; then it is time to go to bed for a really nice night’s sleep.
