Use of coffee as an enema can assist the colon in detoxification by stimulating bile flow. It may also relieve constipation, bloating, increase energy levels and relieve leaky gut symptoms as it stimulates glutathione production – an antioxidant master detoxification agent. Since caffeine may cause adverse reactions in some individuals it’s wise to choose either light roasts or mix medium and light roasts when beginning this practice for your first enema experience.

Not only can coffee enemas cleanse the lower colon, but their caffeine can also provide energy-boosting effects to help revitalize and energize the body – many people report feeling more refreshed following one! This could be due to stimulating detoxifying enzymes in the liver or simply because peristalsis increases; coffee enemas may increase this important digestive process which aids passage of food and other substances through your digestive tract and out of your system.

An effective coffee enema involves inserting a lubricated tube into your rectum, then emptying a solution of water and ground organic coffee directly into your colon. You can perform one at home using kits available from pharmacies and natural health stores. It is best done when there will be no interruptions for at least an hour after dosing; additionally it’s advisable to use filtered or spring water rather than tap water so as to minimize exposure to potentially toxic elements that may enter through tap water and into your body.

There are various types of enema tubes on the market, including stainless steel and plastic ones, but it is essential that you select one which is safe, hygienic and suitable for you. Furthermore, you will require a reusable bag and hose. Cleaning of both the plastic tube tip and nozzle after each use to avoid irritation is key; rinse bag and hose with hot water and soap after each use to rinse away bacteria – some people use hydrogen peroxide before storing their hose or bag to make this easier – before finally drying completely before storing. Check with your physician if this method of storage works for you before trying it on yourself before doing this yourself.

When purchasing an enema bag from Equal Exchange, look for organic and fairtrade products from family farms in Brazil and Colombia. Equal Exchange works with co-ops that restore forested land by restoring biodiversity; this will make the landscape more resilient to climate change – providing lasting advantages to farmers over time.

Reusable stainless steel enema buckets are also highly recommended, as this material will be more sturdy than disposable plastic ones. When selecting one, make sure the nozzle of the hose sits above the level of coffee in your bag so you can open it easily to release fluid into your colon. Keeping it hanging between uses reduces corrosion or discoloration of metal components caused by acidity from coffee beverages.
