Coffee enemas are an increasingly popular colon detox treatment, but not all coffee enemas are created equal. While different bean types, roast intensities, and other factors impact its potency. While it’s legal to claim organic credentials falsely, for optimal results it pays to choose an enema coffee that has been USDA certified and shade-grown; for optimal results opt for light or gold roast that tests high for palmitic acid performance.

Coffee enemas differ from conventional enemas in that they introduce room-temperature brewed coffee directly to your colon through the anus, stimulating lower bowel muscles to soften stool and make its passage easier. The caffeine present stimulates lower bowels to soften it so as to ease passage out of your body.

Coffee enema kits can be purchased over-the-counter at major online and brick-and-mortar retailers that specialize in natural health treatments, and usually come equipped with instructions and supplies for home use. You may also book an in-clinic coffee enema treatment at your local holistic health or colonic hydrotherapy center.
