Aloe vera formula will soothe the intestinal lining during inflammation as well as clean
the colon. The best position to assume when receiving this enema is "head down and rear up". After the liquid has been
inserted, roll onto your back, and finally roll over and lie on your left side. As you are
doing this, massage your abdomen to help loosen and move any fecal matter.
Massage

tube tip into anus, always use a good lubricant
(Super
Salve Surgilube
Vaseline 13oz.
Astroglide
KY Warming Liquid Lubricant) as needed. using a good lubricant will
help prevent injury to the delicate anal tissues.
Inject solution into rectum slowly, approximately one cup per minute (8oz.) and take
as much as possible , you can refill bag if needed. Try to slightly distend the colon or until it becomes very uncomfortable to take
any more solution.
Massaging abdomen in counter-clockwise direction during the injection will
distribute the solution throughout the colon.
When the enema bag is empty or no more fluid can be taken remove nozzle/rectal
tube.
For those that have trouble retaining the nozzle and or the solution.
You might want to try a retention
nozzle during the administration of the enema.
Some people use a retention
plug after they received their enema solution and removed the nozzle to retain their
enema for the desired amount of time. You can also fold a washcloth and press it tightly
against the anus.
Retain the solution for as long as possible this will allow the enema to do its job.
Then you can move to the toilet and
release the enema.
When having a normal bowel movement or releasing an enema:
You can massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction this will help move the solution back
toward the rectum and anus.
Massaging the abdomen while expelling the enema helps move the enema solution , gas
and feces toward the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the toilet not sitting on
it. The squatting position puts pressure on your abdomen from your thighs.
In many countries, toilets are made so that people squat when they move their bowels. The
Welles Step positions your body so that you are squatting when you sit on the toilet.
Squatting, supports the abdominal wall and the bowel as we bear down, brings about
an easier bowel evacuation in this way.
People who use the Welles Step tend to have fewer hemorrhoids,
hernias, anal fissures, varicose veins and
almost never have to use laxatives.
It slides under the toilet when not in use.
It is best if you place a Welles
Step and then squat down over the toilet to release your enema. |
