A guide to taking an enema

Tap water is not recommended because the chlorine it contains will kill off beneficial bacteria, use mineral water eg Evian.

1. Before and after you take your enema you should always make sure your equipment is thoroughly clean. Check the equipment thoroughly to ensure it is clean. Flush out the tube and tap to ensure that they are clear throughout.

2. Connect all the equipment together. The enema attachment is the small tip, the vaginal douche attachment the longer tip. Make sure that the tap mechanism is closed. Fill the enema bag or bucket with mineral or filtered water which is at room temperature.

3. Suspend the enema bag less than three feet above the hips from a convenient hook on the wall or door, or supporting rail. Run some of the water through the tube and out of the tap end to release any air in the long tubing or tap before use. Close the tap again ready to start.

4. Apply lubricating jelly (olive oil is good or KY jelly) to the enema tip and also to the outside of the anus. Lie either on your side, kneeling head down bottom up, or on your back. Insert the lubricated enema tip into the anus and turn the tap mechanism allowing the water to flow in. Gravity will feed the water down through the tube for as long as the tap is open. You may feel more comfortable letting the water feed down in stages to allow the fluid to settle, infact that is preferable to trying to take it in all in one go. It is a bit fiddly but with practice it gets simpler.

5. Now, lie on your right hand side (Remove the tip if it is easier). Hold the fluid inside you for as long as you can without it being uncomfortable. When you are ready to sit on the lavatory go to the toilet to allow the evacuation of the faecal matter and water. Don’t rush, strain or force. You will be able to hold onto the water for longer periods with practice. More fluid needed? Just top up the bag. It may be that you will need to feed water into your rectum and evacuate the contents a number of times in one session or once is enough per session. It really is up to you.

Don't forget that it's really important to clean the equipment after use. Use a gentle but effective sterilising solution like Virkon disinfectant tablets.

Storage
Store the equipment safely where it will be secure and cannot be tampered with. Keep it out of the reach of children. Ideally the equipment needs to be stored in a constant coolish temperature, away from direct sources of heat and avoid damp environments. Do not fold the water tube as it will create a kink in it

How often can you take an enema?

Manifest Health cannot advise on how frequently you should be taking enemas. If you are healthy an enema can be safely taken once or twice a week. If you are following a specific detox programme that states that you should take the enemas more frequently then do so if you feel it is safe for you. If in any doubt about what is suitable for you please consult a qualified Therapist who can advise according to your individual needs.
