How often do you need an enema?
The question of how often one needs an enema is often critically questioned. Theoretically, regular bowel movements are a completely natural intestinal cleansing of the body. In addition it comes that with an intestine cleaning a part of the intestine bacteria, the so-called Darmflora, is washed out.
Therefore, the intestinal flora must regenerate and rebuild the flora after each bowel movement. If there is a health reason to cleanse the intestine, an enema is undoubtedly indicated. According to conventional medicine, enemas are only performed if there are causes for complaints, such as constipation or the emptying of the intestinal contents at birth. Alternative doctors and alternative practitioners advise more frequent enemas for intestinal cleansing, for example in connection with a fasting cure.
Addition
Many alternative doctors assume that adding oil to the enema fluid helps to remove old “waste products” from the bowel. It is recommended to add a small amount of olive oil or peppermint oil to the water for the solution. The liquid is then heated and can be used for the enema.
There are different enema enemas for intestinal cleansing, which are constructed differently and can have different shapes. Often enema tubes with pear-shaped tips are used. The “pears” have different volume sizes.
Enemas with pear tips are very easy to use and can be used very well for your own enema. Enema are available in pharmacies. Sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate) is often colloquially called table soda, baking soda or food soda.
The main purpose of an enema with soda is to cleanse the bowel of accumulated toxins, waste, faeces and stones.The soda enema is very useful for repeated enemas, e.g. if you suffer from constipation over a longer period of time. You can buy the soda in the pharmacy and add it to the rinsing liquid for the enema. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions of the active ingredient.
Overdosing the rinsing liquid with soda can otherwise lead to irritation of the intestinal mucosa. As a rule, it is recommended to dissolve about 20 to 30 grams of soda in 800 milliliters of water. Usually 2 liters of liquid are prepared for an enema and the mixture is heated to a temperature of 38 to 42°C.
