Ideal Temperature

I know when it's too hot but is there a temperature max so you experiece the pleasurable warmth but do not harm yourself. i would appreciate opinions, and or factual information

Probably not... unless your water was hot enough to do serious damage. From my own experience I doubt you could take and/or hold water that was hot enough to hurt you. At any rate, keep it close to body temp but when I'm really feeling randy I love icy water. No harm, just great cramps!

Adjust the water temp by sticking your tongue under the faucet... when its too warm there its to warm for your colon

The colon and the mouth have very similar epithelial linings. If you can comfortably keep the very warm to hot water in your mouth, or swallow it comfortably it is okay for your colon. DO NOT use anything over 115 degrees F. I will also say that if you do use water that is too hot, you will probably notice that the next day you will have a lot of gas and mucous exudate. Assuming you cleaned yourself out completely, your "sharts" will be clear and mucousy/slimy.

Best thing is to buy a reg body thermometer for a few dollars, just put it in the bag after you have filled it, the temp should be about 100 to 105 farienheight which is the perfect water temp for enemas.

Don't use too hot - don't test the water with wrist, tongue or similia by a termometer in my opinion not over 105 degree F .

be careful - play safe for a great enjoiment.

I always check the water temperature with my tongue. I find you never get burned that way and if it is too hot for you tongue it will be too hot for your butt.......

A woman I know says she uses always 117F degrees for her enemas. I've never tried any thing over 110 and prefer 105.

On your external skin you won't be able to tolerate anything above 120. Thats where damage starts.

I know that the maximum temperature used by a skilled colon hydrootherapist, whom unfortunately I have not as yet had the opportunity to see in person, is 115 degrees. And that is the definitive *MAXIMUM* she will go. Nothing says you have to go that high. I am not totally sure what going higher than that will do, but I have noticed that when it is too hot, I can't even take it. Just be careful, and you should be okay, but I think 115 is the highest a person should go.

105F is my ideal temperature. I have a non contact thermometer that I have used in the past. My tap water is 115 then allowing for the cooling effects of the hose (10') hits at 108 to 102. To test your tap water measure with a good thermometer, fill your bag to normal limits. Hang bag then measure the water as the entire bags drains into shower or toilet.

Stick your tongue under the water flow ..... if its too hot for your tongue then its too hot. If its comfortable on your tongue then its just right

Typically, the nursing texts warn against giving any enema that is more than 105 deg. when given. I use the back of my hand, or hold my hand in the water for 30-60seconds. Too hot for my hand, too hot for my insides. Tongue doesn't work for me, since I regularly drink very hot coffee.

Doc.

I like a HOT enema. I use my hand to check the temperature if I think it is getting near the upper limit. I put my entire hand in the bag so the water covers my wrist. After a while if I feel any tendancy to remove it, then the water is too hot. Sometimes I take a cold enema just to remimd me how different it is. Ice water is much too cold for me but when it's about 50-60F it's warm enough so that I'm not numb and it's just about impossible for me to hold a full bag.

Very interesting, EmanTulsa. I have not tried that, and may one of these days. Especially now, as I am in a period of feeling very submissive just now. I have never used actual ice, but I can take an enema with water straight from the 'fridge. I can handle that quite well, which is interesting to me. I once saw a recipe for an enema which consisted of dish soap, castor oil, and a 2-liter bottle of cold Mountain Dew or the like. I hzve not tried the whole thing, but may one of these days,, though I know that the soap may cause problems. But if I simply rinse, I should be okay.

A candy thermometer under the faucet helps regulate the temp

Most sources suggest around 105 degrees. It's neither too hot or too cool and is comfortable for most people.

In really hot weather though a "cool" enema at around 70 degrees is a refreshing change of pace. It can also help if you are running a fever due to a cold or flu.

Some like an Ice water enema, but they are very cramping and most people find them hard to take.

I guess it does make a difference if you are using Fahrenheit or Celcius.

As mentioned numerous times, 115 deg F is the "listed" Maximum. Personally I find that If I get anywhere near close to that my colon is complaning all of the next day. I tend not to exceed 106 and as I take enemas towards the end of my session, I will let the water temperature cool down. My last one in a series of 8 to 10 will be at or below 95. And will usually be the largest also.

I wouldn't go over 110*

Well, it depends... I would suggest starting with body temperature, or maybe 5 degrees warmer. Carefully vary that range and see what it feels like. Too hot and you can burn yourself, and cold will cause cramps and be very hard to inject or hold.

A good test is to check the water on your wrist, if it feels OK, then it's probably OK to proceed.

Hope this helps.....

I've found that between body temp and 102 is best for me. Easy to hold, doesn't burn going in or coming out.

Can anyone confirm that 110 degrees is the maximum temperature safe to use? It seems to me that in my early enema days I used water hot enough to feel pretty hot when I expelled it, and that it really felt good and warm on my prostate. 110 degrees just doesn't make it!

The thought has occurred to me that the mouth is also lined with mucous membrane, and has many nerve endings, and yet we drink hot coffee that's hotter than 110 degrees with no ill effects.

Susie, if you read this, would you,with your tremendous medical knowledge, please comment?

Most nursing textbooks that I've seen list 110 to 115 to be the safe maximum temperature for an enema.

I can't say with certainty what the max temperature is that's safe -- but one of the nice things about the Silver Bullet aluminum nozzles from the Collector is that they warm to the temperature of the water as soon as you open the clamp. There are no temperature receptors in your colon, but many in your anus. So, if the bullet feels too hot -- it's time to stop and go cool down the water before you hurt yourself. Great safety feature.

That said, I personally prefer the water a bit cooler than body temp. About 95° is generally good for me.

Peace,

My ideal temperature varies. In the winter it should feel warm on the inside wrists, and the summer time about luke warm.

Depending on my mood, outdoor or indoor temperature, how hot or cold I feel, whether I've just come inside from working in the garden when it has been hot outside, etc, the ideal temperature could be anywhere from 60 degrees to 115 degrees. Usually it is about 90-110.

I love how you can feel the very high or especially very low temperature solution flowing around your insides.

For home enemas, 100 degrees F more or less (normal rectal temp) seems best for me. Colonic machines rotate between 95-105 degrees, a good comfort zone.

Enemas to bring down fever can be lower, though not as easy to retain.

I like them around 100 but in summer a cooling one about70 is nice.

I usually use 103F +/- a degree. The warmer water is relaxing. I've had colonics (open system) where they start close to 100, warm to 110 and then down to 92 and back to 100 range. I asked why and was told the warmer temps "put the colon to sleep and the colder wakes it up" Colder help expulson, and warmer is easier to hold.

Anywhere from 100 to 110 feels pretty good!

What is your ideal enema temperature? For me I like mine about 112 Degrees F (47C.) I have and occasionally use a thermometer, buy usual only check it with the back of my hand. If the water is to cold, I get cramping while too hot can cause pain or scalding. My bag temperature is usually a few degrees warmer than the injection point since I use a ten to fifteen foot delivery tube which cools the water before injection.
