Enema Series

An enema series is when you take or give several enemas in succession. Releasing each enema before taking the next until the entire large intestine from the anus to the cecum has been cleaned out.

A good enema series happens when you are able to inject enough filtered water into your colon to stimulate peristalsis throughout the entire colon, thus cleansing the entire large intestine and not just the rectum or sigmoid areas. Once enough water is in the colon, you then move to the toilet and expel the resulting waste. You then repeat the process several times until the return is relatively clear.

Most people start an enema series with a soap suds enema then warm saltwater enemas to complete the process

Use the Additive of Your Choice. Enema Recipes

On the last one of the series use a Cool or Cold Water Enema

Temperature 100° to 105°Fahrenheit

Directions:

Add solution to enema bag, mixing with warm filtered water to achieve the required amount of solution.
Hang enema bag about 18 in. to 3 ft. above rectum. A good tool for this is the IV Stand for Enemas
If you need good flow control for the enema solution. A ramp clamp is a good option.

The Knee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head this is a best position to receive the first half of an enema.
Insert nozzle/rectal tube tip into anus, using 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 the solution 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 from the anus around to the cecum during the injection will distribute the solution throughout the colon.
Massage Abdomen When Receiving an Enema

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 several minutes as, this will allow the enema to do its job. Normally five to 10 minutes is enough time to get good results.

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 from the cecum around towards the anus this will help move the solution back toward the rectum and anus.
Massage Abdomen When Expelling an Enema

Doing this 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.

It is a good idea to take a break in between enemas during a series this allows your body to relax and rest. On the last enema of the series is a good time to add a herbal preparation or some beneficial Flora to the enema water. Or you can make the last enema, a coffee enema.

Warning: Do not use enemas or laxatives if abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting are present unless directed by your health care provider.
Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative or enema may indicate a serious condition.
Discontinue use and consult your health care provider.
