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) 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.

MILK & HONEY ENEMA
This is a mild milk and honey enema solution helps to soothe irritable bowels and clean the colon.
PROCEDURE:
To make the solution for the Milk & Honey Enema, add:1 1/2 Quarts Warm Water (102°F)
16 Ounces Warm Milk
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey (Try to use local honey.)
Warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove. Put the milk in the enema bag and add the olive oil and honey to the bag. Add the warm water to the bag adjusting the temperature as it is added.
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.
The best position to assume when receiving the enema is "head down and rear up". After the liquid has been inserted, roll onto your back, and finally roll over and lie on your left side. As you are doing this, massage your colon to help loosen any fecal matter. Start on your right side and gradually move your fingers up toward the bottom of the rib cage, then across your abdomen and down the left side.
For a child, place the child on his or her left side. Be very gentle inserting the tip and never force it inside the anus. This could damage the colon and could be very dangerous. Do not give an enema to a child under 2 years of age.
Note: that 2 quarts is a lot of liquid. If you experience any pain during insertion, stop the flow of the enema bag and remaining in the same position, take deep breaths until the pain subsides. The resume the enema flow. If you expel the liquid before all of it has been inserted, simply begin the process over again. If pain persists, discontinue the enema procedure.
Hold the solution in your body for 3 to 4 minutes before allowing the fluid to be expelled. After 2 or 3 such sessions, you will find it easier to insert and hold the liquid. Hold the solution as long as you can before expelling.
Note: Always check with your health care provider before doing an enema.
