General information about colon cleansing with enema
In the human body, over the years, a huge amount of waste accumulates. Parasitic invasions, fecal stones, undigested pieces of rotten meat, inflammation in some areas, erosion and small ulcers over the entire area of the mucosa. Alas, such a picture is not uncommon and is real for 45% of the population over thirty years old. Those people who watch their diet, adhere to vegetarianism, regularly do cleansing enemas and procedures, things are much better.
Why do we brush our teeth, wash our face and use deodorant every day, but at the same time completely forget about hygiene for our own body? The intestines process kilograms of food anddeserves exactly the same cleansing as any other part of the human body.
What you need for a colon cleanse at home
In the pharmacy you need to buy a pear with a pipe. They differ in the volume of the rubber part (for filling with liquid) and the length of the tube. Tips can also be made from different materials. It is optimal to choose silicone - it will not cause pain.
You will also need dry chopped herbs and other ingredients from which the decoction will be prepared. Pharmaceutical preparations and enema for cleansing the intestines equally have useful properties. If the patient is thinking about what to prefer, let him consult a doctor. If there are contraindications for enemas, modern laxatives based on plant extracts can be used.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to carry out a light cleansing of the body, switch to proper nutrition. It is advisable to stop drinking alcohol. Smoking should also be gradually abandoned. Nicotine has a devastating effect on the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Preparing for the procedure
A couple of weeks before the course of enemas to cleanse the intestines at home, you need to switch to proper nutrition. This will help ease the detachment of stool stones from the walls of the intestines and contribute to their easier removal.
Avoid fried meats. Fatty pork, lamb, lard. Give preferencelight dairy products, fruits and vegetables. Boldly and without restrictions, eat apples, bananas, pears, plums, pineapples. It is a plant food rich in fructose, which in turn feeds the brain directly. It's time to abandon the forcibly grafted food culture of eating fatty heavy meat. If you completely switch to proper nutrition, the course of enemas will be easy and painless, and in the future the need for this procedure may disappear altogether.
Safety rules: how not to hurt yourself?
Here are the simple safety rules for doing enemas at home:
- No sudden movements: you can damage the intestines and sphincter, and you have to do a completely different treatment. Careless and rough movements can cause damage to the walls of the mucosa and internal bleeding.
- Do not use too hot or cold solutions to fill the enema. The optimum temperature of the composition is room temperature, in the range from 22 to 35 degrees.
- Before using herbal infusions, always test them for an individual allergic reaction in the patient.
- You should never carry out a procedure with equipment that has been compromised: a hose is damaged or a pear is torn. This often results in injury.
Painfulness of the procedure
Very important note: if at some stage of the cleansing at home, the patient felt severe pain, you must immediately interrupt the procedure. If the preparation for the course has been completed, andthe patient does not have chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, then no discomfort should arise!
Homemade bowel cleansing with or without enemas should never hurt. If they have arisen, then the matter is in violation of the technique of the procedure. There should not be any sudden movements - this can lead to injuries of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Properly administered, a bowel cleansing enema should not cause any extreme discomfort.
Detailed description of technique
Cleansing can be done in two ways:
- lying on the couch;
- standing;
- being in the bathroom.
All these methods are quite effective. It is necessary to choose a convenient one for the patient based on his individual preferences. It is embarrassing for someone to take a knee-elbow position, someone cannot lie on one side for more than five minutes, someone is not able to relax while in the bathroom. The best method will become apparent after a few treatments.
A pre-prepared solution is poured into Esmarch's mug, from a liter to three. It is advisable to lubricate the tip of the tube with oil or baby cream to facilitate insertion. If the tip is silicone, you can do without the use of lubricant. Air is released from the pear, fill with a solution. Slightly unscrew the tap on the hose. After the liquid starts to flow out of it - twist and start the procedure directly.
Insert the tip with smooth movements into the rectum forthree to seven centimeters. The faucet is slightly opened and waiting for the water to fill the intestines. There is very little liquid left in the pear. The patient must retain the cleansing solution for at least fifteen minutes.
Walker Colon Cleansing
The essence of this method is the use of a large volume of solution. In some cases - up to four liters. This method should not be used by an unprepared person.
It is important that all the cleansing solution passes into the intestines. To do this, the patient must breathe deeply and evenly. Massaging the abdominal area will help the liquid to distribute evenly and cleanse each part of the intestine.
Duration of a cleansing enema according to Walker - about fifteen minutes. Do not keep the solution in yourself for too long. A complete contraindication to this method is the presence of ulcers and cicatricial lesions of the intestinal mucosa.
Intestinal cleansing according to N. Semenova
One of the most rigorous cleansing techniques. Radical vegans and raw foodists like to use it to completely remove the remnants of meat food from their bodies. They believe that by doing so they improve the overall energy of the body.
The essence of the method is an enema twice a day. Early in the morning (dawn) and late in the evening, for two weeks on a daily basis.
A series of cleansing enemas according to N. Semenova allows you to clean out all fecal deposits as much as possible. Due to this, there is a large reduction in weight.
Doctors are negative about this technique. She is strictlycontraindicated in people with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Frequent and aggressive exposure will exacerbate existing problems and lead to new ones.

Gastroenterologist E. Shchadilov developed a rather mild and sparing scheme:
- day of the first cleansing;
- second cleansing in five days;
- third cleansing in four days;
- fourth cleansing in three days;
- fifth cleansing in two days;
- sixth cleansing in one day.
The result will be a feeling of lightness in the patient and getting rid of about three to seven kilograms.
Contraindications for such cleansing
