Enema is a liquid injected through the rectum into the lower bowel as a purgative, as a medicine, or for diagnostic purposes. Undergoing enema treatment helps get rid of excess waste in the colon due to eating foods that are high in fat and sugar content but low in fiber.
These foods cause peristalsis, a wormlike series of movements of the small intestines to become weak and ineffective. When it is deficient, it causes constipation and IBS. The foods can get stuck along the process of digestion and then can become toxic. When this happens, the poisons are distributed instead of eliminated.
Thus, it is essential to undergo a colon cleanse. Below is a list of types of Enema treatment to help eliminate toxins in the body.
• Barium Enema is commonly used in hospitals. It is done when the large intestine undergoes X-ray examination wherein it helps diagnose health problems found in the large intestine.
• Coffee Enema the most common type helps detoxify the liver. It is a procedure wherein coffee solution is transferred from the rectum to the colon and the liver. The caffeine present in the coffee stimulates bile juice production which is removed from the small intestine. Take note that only regular ground coffee can be used in this procedure.
• Epsom Salt Enema is very useful and a highly recommended cleanser due to its laxative effect. The Epsom salt in the water helps increase the intestine’s water absorption.
