Coffee enema at home

Coffee enemas are a great way to detox the body. 

 

Enema kits

When I first started doing coffee enemas, I was looking in internet (as you are probably doing now) to know how it work, benefits, risks etc…

Since I’m a shy person and I would never go to a store or a pharmacy to buy enema supplies, I decided to look up online and guess what?! Although it’s true that the coffee enema equipment is limited and pretty straightforward, there is not much out there in the web being reviewed.

So what I did was to buy few different products and review them.

Here is my personal list of Enema Kits:

1. Stainless Steel Enema Kit with PVC Tubing: 2 Quart Container. No Latex: When I became interested in doing coffee enemas, I asked around to see what people were using for the enema kits. Alot of people were using disposable plastic enema bags you can get at Rite Aid or Save-On, etc. The thought of all that plastic going in the landfill didn't sit right with me. Also, the point of the enema is to detox, so why would I put the organic coffee in a PLASTIC bag? I searched amazon and found this kit. I liked that it was stainless steel and some of the replacement parts are also available on amazon. I've used it about 6-8 times over the last couple months and here are my thoughts: the stainless steel can is nice because it is sterile, but not so nice because you cannot see the level of the liquid and because a good portion of your liquid goes to waste because it falls below the hole that allows it to flow into the tube. If you want to salvage all the liquid, you have to reach and take the can with one hand and hold it up and tip it to the side of the hole.

          

2. BEST Coffee Enema Kit - "The Try it Now" - Gerson Approved - Includes 1/2 lb Bag Green Organic Coffee Ground - Transparent Re-Usable Bucket w/Reinforced Handles: inexpensive way to try before committing to a more expensive version. Having said that, nothing has broken after about 13 uses. I recommend moving the clamp to different positions and leaving it off when not in use. Eventually the plastic tubing at the clamp point might get worn. The bucket handles are flimsy but I've had zero problems with them. Bucket and tubing cleans really well using pure rubbing alcohol. I also like that it comes with coffee.

          

3. The Perfect Enema Bag Kit in Blue Color for Colon Cleansing With Silicone Hose: First off I will say there is a rubbery smell to it, but wash it with soap and hot water and that smell subsides considerably. The attachments that it comes with are quite nice. The hose has a good feel and the tips are very comfortable. I will say that the open top is annoying in its own right but if you hang it up where you want it to be empty and then fill it, it isn’t a problem.

          

4. Enema Bag sets: Very disappointed in these bags. The top part that hangs is very cheaply made. Not high quality like the kind I used to buy in medical supply stores. The weight of the water in the bag tears the cheap little 2- hole hanging area at the top!

          

The Gerson Therapy

"The Gerson Therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body’s extraordinary ability to heal itself through an organic, plant-based diet, raw juices, coffee enemas and natural supplements".

Dr. Max Gerson used this clinically as part of a general detoxification regimen, first for tuberculosis, then cancer. Caffeine, he postulated, will travel up the hemorrhoidal to the portal vein and thence to the liver itself. Gerson noted some remarkable effects of this procedure. For instance, patients could dispense with all pain-killers once on the enemas. Many people have noted the paradoxical calming effect of coffee enemas.

And while coffee enemas can relieve constipation, Gerson cautioned: "Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver."

Coffee enemas were an established part of medical practice when Dr. Max Gerson introduced them into cancer therapy in the 1930s. 

Coffee enemas were an established part of medical practice when Dr. Max Gerson introduced them into cancer therapy in the 1930s. Basing himself on German laboratory work, Gerson believed that caffeine could stimulate the liver and gall bladder to discharge bile. He felt this process could contribute to the health of the cancer patient.

One of the most important components of the Gerson Therapy is coffee enemas. Coffee enemas are the primary method of detoxification of the tissues and blood on the Gerson Therapy. Cancer patients on the Gerson Therapy may take up to 5 coffee enemas per day. 

Coffee enemas accomplish the essential task of assisting the liver in eliminating toxic residues from the body for good. The Gerson Therapy also utilizes castor oil to stimulate bile flow and enhance the liver’s ability to filter blood.

How to properly do a coffee enema

First off you will need to purchase an enema kit, you can buy a traveller's kit here or something a bit more robust such as the plastic bucket type kits (like this). You can traveller's kit as its easy to store and discreet for travelling or if you plan on doing more than one enema a day (if you wanna bring it at work for eg.). You can order these kits online here.

The next step is to buy some good quality coffee for enemas. Coffee bags come in different size and quality. If you are new to coffee enemas, you should try different brands in small size bags. I usually buy the 5lb since I do enemas regularly and so I can save a bit of money. I personally use this one or this one because they are ORGANIC, and you shouldn't really wanna put processed or chemically altered coffee in your body.

Grab a saucepan and put 2 tablespoons of organic coffee in the saucepan. Add 3 cups of FILTERED (even better if you let the water sit over night so that the chlorine will dissipate into the environment) water to the pot. 

Bring to the boil and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat after 15 minutes and let it cool. When it's body temperature (you can test this by placing a clean finger into the coffee, it will be neither hot or cold) strain through a nut milk bag into a clean glass pouring jar.

Head to the bathroom with your strained coffee and set up a space and something comfortable for you to lie down on. Hint: Be near a toilet and use an old towel as you sometimes may get slight coffee leakage. Grab a pillow and some reading material as you will be here for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

Now assemble your enema kit. It must have a tube and nozzle attached to the bucket or bag. Make sure it's at least 3/4 feet above ground. (Hanging on a towel rail or shower rail is a good idea, and if it's too high you can use a cloth hanger to bring the bag or the bucket down).

There will an attachment near the nozzle that allows you to stop or start the flow of coffee once you have poured it into the bag or bucket. Ensure this is in the off position before pouring the coffee into the bag!

Once the coffee is in the bag or bucket hold tube and nozzle over sink or shower plug and turn it on and allow the coffee to run through the tube until there are no air bubbles. Stop the flow again once this is done.

Grab some coconut oil (you can buy it here) or Surgilube (you can buy it here) and apply to the nozzle for ease of insertion. Lie down on your towel on your right hand side with your knees drawn up.

Insert the nozzle till it's about 1 inch inside the rectum. Turn on the flow of coffee slowly until the bag or bucket is emptied.

Now you can either remain lying on your right side or lie on your back with your feet up above head level or feet resting against a wall above head level. You may hear some funny squirting noises from your tummy, this is a good sign and an indication of the bile being stimulated for release.

Try to retain the enema for 12 to 15 minutes. You may feel some strong urges to go to the toilet, especially the first few times you try this. Try to hold on for as long as you can, quite often the sensations pass. As you do them more regularly you will be able to retain for longer. 15 minutes max is all you need.

When you are ready to release head to the toilet and let it go.

You should feel a lot lighter in body and mind by now!

To keep your enema kit in tip-top shape clean with a mild detergent and ensure everything is dry before packing away.

Coffee enemas are very safe and are sometimes taken up to 6 times a day in chronically ill patients.
