How to Give an Enema

 

 

 

 

The first thing about giving somebody an enema is consideration.
Enemas are usually embarrassing and humiliating to the person receiving the enema.
The second is communication.
The person receiving the enema needs to let the administrator know how and what they are feeling, whether they are having cramps or feeling too full.
The administrator needs to ask several times during the enema how they are feeling.
Remember
communication / consideration

Supplies:

a. Fountain syringe  ( you can purchase at Drug Store for about $15.00)
or Save $2.00 off any order at EnemaSupply.com with coupon code "Share2".
b. Filtered water
c. Enema additives: castile soap, herbs, chlorophyll, Aloe Vera (or as recommended by a health practitioner)
d. Plain warm water works as well to clean you out.
e. Have a couple of 2qt. or larger pitchers for warm water.

Steps to a great experience:

1. RELAX

2.Hang fountain syringe  so that the bottom of the bag is about 16 to 20 inches above where the rectum will be.

3.Have containers ready with warm enema solution.

To prepare:
a. Fill containers 1/2 full with cool, filtered water.
b. Heat up some filtered water on the stove. (Don't use hot water from tap.) Add to cool water till the solution reaches 103ºFahrenheit. Anything over 103ºFahrenheit they won't be able to hold for long.
Water over 115ºFahrenheit. can scald the intestinal wall !!
c. Add the Enema additive of your choice. Mix well.

4. Fill fountain syringe  with the enema solution. (Make sure clamp is closed before filling bag.)
a.  Open clamp to allow some solution to flow out into the toilet or container, close clamp. (This ensures no air is in the tubing before inserting the Enema nozzle.)

5. Have the person lay down on a warm comfortable surface . After lubricating the Enema nozzle, and anus with Vaseline insert nozzle into rectum.

6. Open clamp and allow enema solution to enter very slowly. Close clamp if the recipient says their feeling uncomfortable. Then start the flow again. Massage there abdomen to help the enema solution further up into the colon from left to right.

7. After about a third of the bag has entered have them turn on right side. Open clamp again, allow enema solution to enter slowly. Massage colon as solution enters. Close clamp when they feel to much pressure and keep doing this until they have taken the whole bag. With the first enema you might not be able to get them to take the whole bag.
 

Massage:
When receiving the enema:
Massage abdomen in a counter-clockwise direction this will help move the solution higher into the colon.

Massaging the abdomen during the administration of an enema will help the recipient except more of the enema solution.

 

When expelling the enema:
Massage 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 solution and feces toward the rectum and out the anus.

8. Stay on side until feel urge to release is very strong. Try to hold the solution at least 5 minutes Move to the toilet and release the solution. After releasing continue refilling colon with enema solution until finished. you may refill the Enema bag as many times as you need to get clean. A good cleansing will take at least 4 bags of water.

9.  When expelling on the toilet
Raise knees above rectum by placing small stool or pillow under your feet while on the toilet. Massaging colon from right to left promotes releasing when on toilet.

10. When finished, Wash the fountain syringe with Hot soapy water allowing water to drain out tubing. The rinse. Hang bag so it can dry. Wash Enema nozzle (after removing it from tubing) well with soap and water. Store Enema equipment in a clean dry container for future use.

11. It is a good idea to smell the fountain syringe bag prior to each use to detect any bacterial contamination. If detected, soak in 3-5% hydrogen peroxide for at least 30 minutes. Then rinse well with water. (This can be used as a preventative measure as well.) Antibacterial soap would also work well.
Remember: rinse with lots of water after washing the bag & nozzle.
