Over time, toxic waste can accumulate in the colon and liver, and then circulate throughout the body via the bloodstream. A clean and healthy colon and liver, then, are essential for the health of all the organs and tissues of the body.
There are two types of enemas - the retention enema and the cleansing enema. The primary action of the retention enema, which is held in the body for about fifteen minutes, is to help rid the liver of impurities. The cleansing enema, which is retained for only a few minutes, is used to flush out the colon.
When using any enema, keep in mind that they should never be used if there is rectal bleeding. In such a case, contact your health care provider immediately.
If you experience tension or spasms in the bowel while using an enema, try using warmer water (99°F to 102°F is a good temperature range) to help relax the bowel. If the bowel is weak or flaccid, try using colder water (75°F to 80°F) to help strengthen it.
After using any enema, be sure to wash and sterilize the tip of the enema bag.
ENEMAS - HOW TO ADMINISTER A HEALTH THERAPY/MEDICAL ENEMA
CATNIP TEA ENEMA
Catnip tea enemas are a good way to bring a high fever down quickly and keep it down. These also relieve constipation and congestion, which keep fever up. When body temperature goes above 102°F (103°F in children over 2 years of age), take a cleansing catnip tea enema. Repeat the procedures every 4 to 6 hours, and continue taking the enemas twice daily as long as fever persists. Catnip tea enemas should not be used by children under 2 years of age.
PROCEDURE:
To make the solution for the catnip tea enema, place about 8 tablespoons of fresh or dried catnip leaves in a glass or enameled pot. (If you are using bagged catnip tea,use the amount recommended on the package to make 1 quart of tea.) In a separate pot, bring to boil 1 quart of steam-distilled water. Remove the water from the heat and pour it over the herbs. Cover the pot and let the tea steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Then strain out the catnip and allow the tea to cool to a comfortable, slightly warm temperature.
Place all of the solution in an enema bag. Do not use petroleum jelly to lubricate the tip of the enema bag. Instead, use vitamin E oil (buy it in oil form or pierce the end of a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the liquid onto the tip). The liquid will both ease the insertion and have a healing effect on the anus and the lining of the colon, if these areas are inflamed. Aloe vera may also be used for this purpose.
Hold the solution in your body for 3 to 4 minutes before allowing the fluid to be expelled.
Note: Always check with your health care provider before doing an enema.
