How to Prepare Coffee Enemas

Coffee enemas should only be performed under supervision by a holistic medical doctor, naturopathic physician, or herbalist.
Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh ground organic coffee (light roast)
• 4 cups distilled water
• glass or enamel pot (do not use teflon, aluminum or iron)
• fine sieve
• enema bag with rubber or plastic tubing and a fountain syringe applicator
• small amount of olive oil

Preparation Instructions

1. Using the amounts specified above in the pot, bring the coffee to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes then simmer for 15 minutes. Strain using a very fine sieve. Allow this liquid to cool to body temperature (98.6 F). It should feel comfortable to the touch.
2. Pour this liquid into the enema bag, clamping the tube as you pour. Lubricate the nozzle with the olive oil.
3. Hang the enema bag between 1 1/2 to 2 feet above the floor in the bathroom. The higher the bag, the faster the speed of intake into the colon.
4. Place a large towel on the floor. Lie on your right side, with your legs curled into your abdomen. An alternate position is lying on your back with a pillow under your buttocks.
5. Take deep breaths and slowly insert the nozzle several inches into the rectum. If it is inserted too quickly it may bend or become kinked inside the colon. A gentle rotating motion can be used to insert. Move the enema bag higher or lower to adjust the flow of the solution into the colon.
6. Retain the solution for about 10 to 12 minutes. To encourage the solution to reach all parts of the colon, you can lie on your left side for 3 minutes, your back for 3 minutes and your right side for 3 minutes. You may hear or feel a squirting of fluid below your right rib cage. Many people believe that this is sensation is due to the release of toxin-laden bile.
7. Empty the bowel carefully. The enema syringe should be sterilized after each use. It can be boiled or washed thoroughly with soap and water, then soaked in a solution of 4 drops grapefruit seed extract and 2 cups water.
