Tea or Herbal Enemas

An acquaintance shared with me that catnip tea enemas, and more particularly a small amount taken as an implant, have a qualified and safe sedative value, and promote easy access to a good night of rest. The information at enemas4us did not specify anything about mixing, and where to get the catnip.

If you have information, and preferably personal experience on these subjects, please feel free to share it here, and/or drop me an email.

Thank you,

Mix catnip tea a little stronger than you would normaly drink it. Think about using a half quart of water after a complete clean out. Try 4 tea bags to that half quart. Retain as long as is possible. Prahaps the use of a butt plug should be considered. Camoille tea can be used in the same way. If your into doing the math, a half quart is 1 measuring cup or 8 ounces. A tea cup holds about 3 1/2 to 4 ounces. Thats a standard but most people drink tea from a coffee cup which can be 6 to 8 ounces. This weakens the taste of the tea but alas thats how most people drink it.

Don't use catnip tea/enema on a female who is pregnant. Can cause a miscarriage. For the males, that is not a problem. I have used chamomile, lavendar, and peppermint tea and mixed this with an enema. Worked well. (Not hard to hold and can have a relaxing feeling to it. They are all a bit relaxing to the body when drank.) I just brew an extra strong pot of tea, 4 tsp. of the loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags should do. This is about on quart by itself so finish off the bag with warm water.

Catnip tea enemas are wonderful, especially following a series of cleansing enemas. I typically use two tea bags and let them steep in while I take the cleansing enemas. The catnip enema is the last one and I can truly say that I sleep like a baby after. 😉

This sounds great. next time I am at Whole Foods I am going to go for the tea bags and give this a try. stay tuned for the results.

I forgot, if you put the used catnip into the compost bucket or just set it aside, beware if you have cats. They will be into it in a flash. It is just as good as if it were fresh.

I'm picturing myself running down my street naked (holding up the bag) with every cat in the neighborhood chasing me...

I feel Chamomile and cat nip both easy to hold and relaxing Mint is hard to hold and not relaxing is how I feel

I think, and this is my feeling, is that an herbal tea will give some of the same affects, to your health, as they would if you drank them. (Ex. chamomile would help relax, cornsilk, should make you pee - alot.) Now for the experience of holding them that would depend what "chemical compounds" are in them. Read through the recipe section and keep an eye on the postings. Someone should give more. I haven't used teas much for enemas. But once and awhile I have some leftover and it goes into the bag, makes a good mystery ingredient.

I use tea alot. chamomile is nice and i make up catnip tea by the quart. to me catnip is as soothing as chamomile. i also like 1 -2 cups of tea in the morning and sometimes i'll add a spice to it like cinnamon or nutmeg. i have even tried some pepper. that was interesting

I've tried catnip tea, chamomile tea and green tea. I found them all to be very easy to take and hold. Seeing this post reminds me that I need to have another tea enema very soon!!! 😉

I was looking in the enema solutions part of the forum and I saw the coffee enema. I thought, what is the next most popular drink that is thought to be good for you or some people have to have their daily fix on (like my mother)? Tea! I would think that the antioxidants in green tea would be good for you. If it was brewed pretty strong, you might get a kick from the caffeine in it. I would also think that non sweetened tea would be best.

Has anyone ever tried this, heard of it, or thought about it before? Thoughts, opinions. ??? 😃

Catnip tea could probably be categorized as an herbal tea. Catnip tea has many homeopathic uses from asthma to skin problems. As an enema it is often used for its soothing qualities.

Black teas, on the other hand, typically have caffeine, and higher amounts of tannins.

I have used a chamomile tea enema several times. It is very soothing but i have a difficult time retaining it. i'm sure if i added baking soda or sea salt it would be easier. Give it a try.

I've done a variety of herbal enemas, all health related. I don't know if you would include coffee enemas in your list, but for a period of nearly 1 year, I did a coffee enema every day. I can say, without hesitation, that coffee enemas literally saved my life. I am absolutely convinced of that. I still do them 2 to 3 times each week.

The Cave Man

I've used slippery elm tea to soothe irritated intestines after suffering from gastritis and digesting massive amounts of acid. It's used orally for sore throats because it soothes mucus membranes, so I decided to try it rectally and it worked the same and really helped to cool things down and lubricate and protect the rectal tissue.

I have not used catnip as an enema; just as s drug to keep my cats from acting like cats some nights - my little stoners. Catnip, valerian and passionflower have calming effects on the body.

I've used peppermint tea afer coffee enemas, which I take for headaches or for a general all over sluggishness. I don't use it for any benefit other than to feel the cool soothing effect of it and to flush out any coffee. I hate the smell and taste of coffee, so a peppermint enema after a coffee enema is pretty much the same as popping a mint after you have a cup of coffee to get rid of coffee breath.

I have used gingko tea to help alleviate mood swings due to mental and physical exhaustion. When you're tired and/or stressed, your blood vessels constrict and your brain does not get the oxygen it needs to perform properly. Gingko is also used to relieve high blood pressure. It works by dilating and therefore improving circulation to the extremeties and brain. That's the reason it is used by patients who have suffered strokes and mild neurological disorders. You've probably heard Alex Trebek advertise it Ginkoba (gingko biloba) capsules on tv. If your blood pressure tends to be low or on the low side of normal, use gingko wisely and sparingly until you know how it will affect your body.

I've used pau d'arco to treat an overgrowth of "bad bacteria" after a series of harsh soapy enemas washed out the "good bacteria." Pau D'arco is also used orally to treat thrush and vaginally to treat yeast infections. It is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial, so it's great stuff to have on hand during the winter (or any time of the year). I have never noticed any side effects from pau d'arco, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. It us a tree bark and tastes like Irish Whiskey, so it does not taste as bad as some herbs, if you need to drink it. I add a few drops of stevia to it and it's tastes fine.

There are a few herbs that I'd be interested in learning more about. Lobelia has been used to wean people off of tobacco cigarettes. However, a few years ago, there was a study about possible liver damage from using lobelia. But I don't know what to think about the research as scientists generally test lab animals with massive amounts of something and not the normal human dose. I've talked with a few people who received lobelia enemas as children and they suffered no ill effects from it, neither then nor now. I'd like to hear if anyone has used it to treat their tobacco addiction, how effective it was and what results they had.

Another herb I'd like to look into is damiana. It's a female arousal stimulant herb and I can testify that it works when taken orally. I subjected myself to a personal study of it several years ago and much to my surprise, it was very effective. I rarely use it, but whenever I'm feeling sexy and in the mood for some fun and either aren't quite there or want to make it eve better, I'll drink a 20 to 30 drops of damiana extract. Damiana can also be smoked, but I've never done that.

As with any medication, it can have a stronger effect on your body taken rectally than it may if taken orally as the colon is rich with blood vessels and the herb bypasses the stomach and travels directly and quickly into the bloodstream. Don't think that because it's "just an herb" that it isn't as dangerous as medication. The heart medication Digitalis is a chemical version of foxglove, which can be deadly if used incorrectly. Aspirin is the chemical form of white willow bark, so anyone with an allergy or sensitivity to aspirin should not use white willow bark. There are many others, but I don't have my reference books handy and am too tired to think too hard this morning.

With any herb, research it before you use it. Michael Cunningham, Kathy Keville, Rosemary Gladstar, James A. Duke and Susan Weed are a few of my favorite herbalists/authors. I highly recommend them and the magazines Herbs for Health, Body + Soul, Natural Health, and Alternative Medicine.

Good luck.

I have used Catnip, Chamomille, Red Clover, Peppermint, Wheatgrass juice, Garlic Saw Palmetto Tea and some others.

I also have used cat nip and chamomile teas. I found both very relaxing and easy to hold for a while.

I generally use water (with salt) and the tea enemas are the final one.

Almost fell asleep once holding a cat nip tea enema

Generally brew a strong solution and don't cut it with water.

I have heard that one cup of damiana tea added to the enema will act as an aprhodisiac for both male and female. Anyone tried this yet?

Sounds like a fine idea, it's a pretty safe herb. So far though, people should be aware, there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac. There is nothing that will make anyone want to have sex. However, there are plenty of substances that can enhance the experience...

I recently tried Datura (http://www.erowid.org/plants/datura/datura.shtml) and was pleasantly surprised by it's potency. Not for the uninitiated though. Damiana is much more mild (not to mention much more tasty).

Also of note, there is evidence that 'witches' from before the 1400's made "flying oyntments" out of nightshade (and other goodies), then put it on their broom handles, and then literally fucked themselves with it. Pretty cool, huh? 😜

But yeah, just be informed as to what exactly you're putting up there.

I don't have the ability to really enjoy an herbal enema so I don't bother with them. I either make normal tea or smoke them. The datura was smoked. I would highly advise against using it in an enema, it's pretty powerful stuff that must be respected a great deal...

However, I'd say 3 grams boiled in to a tea added to a bag would be about right. But don't say I didn't warn you when you have a psychotic break and think you're superman 😜 Usually when dosing something new I do a *lot* of research and won't do it unless I can find good, reliable dosing information. See what people normally do for datura tea and start from there. Just because it's legal doesn't mean much, be careful.

Makes me wonder how well an ayhuasca enema would turn out...

Mwhwhwhawhahahaa, you planted mint? Oh, you poor blessed fool. j/k Catnip is in the mint family and is also known by the name cat mint. Mints grow like crazy and they will spread on you. But they're delicious, smell great and are extremely useful, so you'll enjoy your crop for years to come.

Unrelated note: peppermint is a great pest control agent. Sprinkle it around any entrance and ants will not enter. I put it around my external doors and windows and spray it with a little cooking spray to adhere it to the window/frame and to help release the natural oils of the dried leaves. I have not had an ant in my home in over a dozen years. I don't know whether or not spearmint works the same, but worth a try. I wouldn't recommend using catnip unless you're a real cat person looking to adopt every cat in the neighborhood.

I'm sorry that I am not more familiar with the herbs you were interested in. If I run into anything worth sharing, I'll post it here for you. Good luck.

Wow... catnip tea. There's an odd mix.

Done this a few times, it keeps down the smell I think. And isnt too bad

The only tea i've tried so far for an enema is chamomile. Nothing comes to mind about the experience and i've never experimented with any other teas.

Any recommendations?

Catnip is very relaxing and calming. I generally use it as the last enema. I use a quart so it is easy to hold.

I bought a box of Trader Joe's Herbal Peppermint tea and don't much care for the taste. But (no pun intended), I though it might come in handy going the other direction. What would be a good concentration, given that one teabag makes a fairly strong cup of tea? I was thinking one teabag or maybe two for a couple of quarts.

You might try a pint of the tea for an enema to test is for yourself. A small volume would be easy to rinse if necessary.

I've used chamomile tea several times, but peppermint tea sounds like something I must try.

Well, I"ve just gathered up all the peppermint tea I had in the cabinet, and the 'tea box' and have moved them to the 'enema room'. It made me wonder about some of the other teas I ran across, like Ginseng, Chamomile, Melaleuca, St John's Wort and Yogi Calming tea.

I regularly use peppermint tea. 1 chamomille tea bag. 1 Catnip tea bag. 3 peppermint tea bags. steep at room temperature overnight---or steep in hot water for 30 minutes. I use this for a 2 1/2 to 3 qt enema.
