An enema is the process of introducing fluid to bowel, using a syringe, bulb, or enema kit. The enema has long been used as an effective remedy for bowel and colon cleansing. It is chiefly used to lubricate and moisten the contents of the bowel so that stools can be passed more easily, but a modified version of the procedure is used in alternative medicine, with the intention of flushing the colon clean to remove toxins and parasites.

The process of receiving an enema usually takes around half an hour. In this article we will take a look at how you can perform the procedure at home safely and effectively.

First of all, find a comfortable and private space. You may wish to perform this procedure with the assistance of a close friend of your partner, or do it alone. If doing it on your own, follow basic safety tips as you will be in a damp bathroom, subject to slippery surfaces.

Before starting, empty your bladder and your bowel as much as possible, and then remove your clothing.

Ensure that you have toilet paper at hand. You may wish to work in your bathroom or your bedroom – if in your bedroom, lay on a towel and have a bedpan handy.

Before starting, relax your body as much as possible.

Hygiene is very important, so that you avoid introducing foreign bacteria to the bowel. Wear gloves, and wash your hands and enema equipment as well as possible. First, lie down on your left side with your knees slightly bent, somewhat like a fetal position. Raise your buttocks and insert the enema applicator.

Slowly empty the liquid into the bowel, taking a break to relax the internal muscles as much as necessary. Once finished, you should hold in the liquid for 15 minutes for maximum effectiveness. Then, empty your bowels as usual in the bathroom or bedpan.

Clean all equipment well when you are done. If water is not effective in curing your constipation, you might consider a fleet enema. Fleet enemas work in a similar way, but contain a substance that can help your stool absorb more water, so that it can be passed more easily.
