I live in a very rural area without city water. I have a cistern that collects the rain water from my roof. All of my downspouts drain via pvc pipes into the cistern. The cisterns supplies the water to the house. I always use warm water and add a teaspoon or so of salt for my enemas.
I think I would boil cistern water and filter it if it were my only resort for Enemas. Or I would have jugs of water that I would get from friends who had city water.Dan
I don't make a big deal out of it. Municipal tap water. Glad of course that I'm not living in one of those areas where the tap water is flammable. Someday, when I'm king, I will use only the purist reverse osmosis water. But until then, a bagful of hot tap water works for me.
I use very warm (108 degrees) tap water. I have a metal nozzle, so love the feeling of the warmth flowing across my prostate. If I take more than a quart, I add baking soda.
City tap water that has been filtered through a Big Berky water filter. nice and warm with a bit of salt.
Water straight from the tap. The water from the Great lakes is some of the best in the world. As a matter of fact, many brands of bottled water that they claim comes from a spring, is a spring right next to one of the great lakes, usually in upper Michigan or Wisconsin.
I have noticed that when making a true boiled and strained coffe enema, distilled water has made a difference in that it helped lessen cramps vs the exact same method used but with Ottawa tap water.
Straight from the tap. If it's good enough to put in your mouth and work it's way down through your system, then it's good enough to put in your butt and work it's way up !!!!!!!!
Just tap water. Sometimes quite warm, sometimes really cold. 😃We get our water supply from a nearby lake. It's of wery high quality, as in most of Sweden, so I feel perfectly safe.
Glad the consensus of opinion is that tap water is safe to use, although colonic irrigation therapists make a big issue of using filtered water (maybe to justify the high price of theit treatment).
The quality of my tap water is excellent so the main choice that I have to make is what temperature 😃
Tap water boiled and cooled down (for the proper water temperature I mix freshly boiled with the earlier prepared). Salt is added to both so all enemas are isotonic.
I am using just normal tap water (with either soap or salt added). Here in Germany, tap water is good enough for drinking, our laws for food and stuff, including tap water, are very strict., So tap water should be safe for enemas.I don't think distilled water would be a good idea. In fact, I think that this could be dangerous, because the colon would absorb way too much.Spring water should be fine, though.
I am not in an area where there are natural hot springs or mineral water, but was wondering if there would be any benefit to using this type of water for deep Enemas or colonics. Anyone familiar with practices of using this?Dan
Normal mains pressured tap water....As with Gewitterhexe the government regulated & monitored quality controls in place here, undoubtedly provide a high standard for consumer consumption & protection...Have absolutely no reservations, doubts or concerns whatsoever......Thus providing peace of mind for any given application..
If the tap water is safe to cook with and bathe with, and you don't have a specific boil water alert you CAN use tap water!!In most places it is as safe as anything. No plastic bottle to go into the world's oceans!If you live in an area where the tap water is not safe to drink, use your own judgement, but if it can go in one side, it can go in the other.If you MUST use distilled water, put SOMETHING in it! Table salt, Epsom salt, something to give it a little salinity.Reason: Distilled water is so pure, it actually draws mineral into it from your body. Especially the sodium-based minerals. You actually get electrolyte depletion FASTER from it than from tap water.
Fortunately, our tap water is safe for cooking, drinking and injecting internally. It is also easier to adjust the water temperature from the tap rather than attempt to heat it in a microwave or on the stove.
LiasK, why are you so concerned about distilled water? Tap water has almost no dissolved materials that would balance it as far as salinity is concerned.Don't believe it? Take a quart of water and let it evaporate. See what is left in the container--maybe a very light dusting. If there is a tenth of a gram, that would be a lot and probably wouldn't pass public water supply specs if there was more. If you can't wait for a quart of water to evaporate, you can speed it up by boiling it. Again, there might be a light dusting left in the pot.I wouldn't waste my money using distilled water, but the body won't see any difference between distilled and tap water from an electrolyte standpoint.
I use tap water as our golf/tennis community has its own water purification plant, so water is good and safe and has a minimal amount of chlorine. I also add baking soda and salt to my enema solutions.
How safe is it to use tap water in an enema? If you do use tap water, are you putting chlorine into your body and is that a good idea? What is the best type of water to use in an enema for health? Distilled water? Spring water?
Treated water is very safe to use for enemas. As the old saying goes, if it is safe to drink, then it is safe for "other uses". The only exception to this, might be if you are living in a rural area, and drawing water from a well. That might be problematic, and the water should be tested first. Spring water, Purified water, or distilled water are fine for enema use. If you are living in an area where there is a high mineral content in the water (such as I do), it can cause a mineral build up on your equipment. Bottled water solves this problem.
