Coffee enema is a detox technique conceived by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1930s. This procedure is part of the Gerson Cancer Therapy; an alternative treatment protocol for people diagnosed with cancer. According to his studies, coffee contains beneficial compounds that trigger liver detox and helps the body produce enzymes that combat the proliferation of cancer cells.
There has been a surge in the number of people using coffee enema as a detox routine to maintain optimum wellness. In recent years, even healthy individuals are using coffee enema to relieve the body of unpleasant symptoms including easy fatigability, weakness, low energy levels and mood swings among many others.
Cancer patients on the other hand use coffee enema as a holistic adjunct therapy. This means that patients need not eliminate their usual treatment regimen for cancer. Coffee enema alleviates the symptoms that arise from traditional cancer treatment protocols such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy just to name a few.
Before you start doing coffee enema at home, here are some safety precautions to take:
- To minimise or fully avoid side effects or complications, beginners are advised to start with only one teaspoon of coffee. This will determine if you are sensitive to coffee when absorbed via the colon.
- Coffee enema is a clean procedure. This means that you need to establish a clean environment before and during enema sessions. Wash your hands with soap and water before handling equipment.
- Do not forget to lubricate the tip of the nozzle before insertion. You may use natural lubricants such as coconut oil and olive oil to ensure that the nozzle goes into the rectum without difficulties.
- Do not force yourself to hold the enema for 15 minutes if you feel a great pressure to release the solution at any given time.
- Make sure the coffee solution is at room temperature before pouring into the enema bucket or bag. Do not transfer the coffee solution whilst too hot.
- Always use or mineral spring water when preparing coffee enema solution. If these water types are unavailable, make sure to use carbon-only filtered tap water instead.
- For cancer patients following the Gerson Cancer Therapy, it is best to prepare enema solution that you will need the entire day. This will save you time and will ensure that you are right on schedule.
What is a coffee enema?
Simply put, coffee enema is a detox procedure that involves the use of coffee in place of water in order to flush out toxins from the body. Coffee enema is both a colon cleansing technique and a liver detox procedure. The coffee solution helps loosen up the hard and impacted stool in the colon as well as help the liver strain and eliminate toxins from the body.
Coffee enema is an excellent hydrotherapy procedure that promotes healing. As the coffee solution removes all unwanted wastes from the colon, it restores the normal functioning of the gut leading to enhance wellness.
What are the main goals of doing at-home coffee enema:
- Coffee enema successfully eliminates symptoms of general toxicity and liver toxicity
- Provides thorough cleansing of the colon
- Removes toxins and assists in the functioning of the liver
- Eliminates all harmful parasites and disease-causing microorganisms in the body
- Treats chronic constipation and other common gastrointestinal problems
- Increases energy levels, improves mental clarity, enhances mood, and improves overall digestive processes.
Why use coffee enema?
We live in a highly toxic world. The food we eat, water we drink, and the air we breathe are contaminated with toxins and heavy metals that have a negative effect on our health. There are high levels of highly toxic metals that can be found in food packaging as well as those being used during the manufacturing process. Examples of heavy metals that can be found in higher concentrations in our food are mercury, cadmium, arsenic, lead, and aluminum just to name a few.
The use of over-the-counter prescription drugs also contributes to the alarming increase of toxin consumption by the body. As most of these medications are made from artificial or synthetic ingredients, the body is exposed to trace amounts of toxins that may accumulate and wreak havoc in the colon and liver.
The collective effect of these toxins in the body may result in the development of chronic diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and cancer.
What is the best coffee for enema detox purposes?
According to most holistic experts, the best type of coffee for enema is medium to dark roast coffee. Dark coffee is known to have the ability of restoring Vitamin E and glutathione levels in the bloodstream. Dark roast coffee also has added weight loss benefits as it contains chlorogenic acid- a compound known to speed up metabolism.
Here are tips that you might want to take a note of when buying coffee for enema:
- Ideally, pick coffee beans that originate from South American countries. They are known to be of superior quality than those grown from other regions.
- Dry coffee is best for detox. Oily coffees may only add to the toxic load in the colon and liver.
- Certified organic coffee is ideal for enema detox.
What other effects should I expect from coffee enemas?
Coffee features a host of properties which are proven to be beneficial to health and wellness when introduced via enema:
- Coffee and its astringent quality
Coffee?s acidic nature makes it the best natural astringent for colon cleansing. The compounds in coffee effectively remove the mucosal layer that may have enveloped the entire length of the large intestines. Coffee compounds peel the top layer of the mucous membrane, thus giving way to a fresh new layer that is capable of absorbing nutrients from that food that we eat. It cleanses the top layer of a toxic liver, too.
- Mechanical cleansing properties
The coffee solution wipes out impacted waste, debris, and toxins from the colon and liver. In addition, it also stimulates peristalsis- a process that moves the food particles from the small intestine to the colon.
What are the types of equipment used for coffee enemas?
The tools, ingredients, and equipment used for coffee enema are simple and easy to find.
1. Enema bucket/bag
The enema bucket or plastic bag acts as the main storage for coffee enema solution. If you are looking to perform coffee enema on a daily basis, we highly suggest that you purchase a stainless steel bucket instead. They are long lasting, durable, and easy to clean.
2. Enema nozzles
An enema nozzle is typically made from tough and durable plastic. Most enema kits come with two types of nozzles; one enema nozzle tip for enema and one for douching. ?Plastic enema nozzles are reusable and easy to clean.
3. Colon tube
The colon tube is the one that needs to be inserted into the rectum. Make sure to lubricate the tip before use to ensure that you do not cause injury or bleeding along the rectum and the colon.
Here are things that you should remember during an enema procedure:
- Make sure to position yourself flat on the floor. Lie on the left side and introduce the lubricated tip into the rectum. ?Make sure that the tip of the enema goes all the way in before opening the clamp.
- Once the tip is all the way inside the colon, you can then release the solution by opening the clamp. Depending on the height of the enema bucket, the solution will start flowing down a few seconds after opening the clamp.
- Once the enema solution starts flowing in, you will feel minor cramping sensations. This means that the coffee solution is being emptied into the colon. To reduce discomfort during your coffee enema session, we highly encourage you to evacuate your bowels first. It is also best to do a cleansing water enema prior to coffee enema to prepare the colon in retaining the coffee solution for a longer period of time.
- Once you have emptied all the coffee enema solution into the colon, lie flat on your back and hold the solution for 12 to 15 minutes. It?s also ideal to turn to your right side as this helps in moving all wastes and toxins from the upper regions of the intestinal tract and into the colon.
- Make sure to evacuate after 15 minutes. It is not beneficial to retain the coffee enema longer and this may cause more gastrointestinal issues. Hydrate yourself after an enema session. You will experience frequent bowel movements after an enema so make sure to be in close proximity to a toilet at all times.
