Using Coffee Enemas for Detoxing the Body
In the times of the early Egyptians and Greeks, the practice of colon cleansing was quite popular due to its many health benefits and in recognition of the importance of good colon health.
Fast forward to the 1900s, a time in which medicine was evolving as was the investigation for natural alternatives to healing. Dr. Bernard Jensen, a respected authority in the area of natural healing, promoted the practice of colon cleansing because as he believed, “Death begins in the colon.”
It has been estimated that the body can carry anywhere from 1-5 lbs of impacted waste in the intestines (especially if you suffer from chronic constipation). With all that waste just “sitting” there, can you imagine all the bacteria brewing inside?
Now, colon hydrotherapy and coffee enamas are being included in many gut healing treatments as a way to help the body rid of toxins and harmful pathogens that sometimes the body is unable to process by itself.

How do you do a coffee enema?

Items you will need:
-organic coffee
-enema system (kit)
-towels
-lubricant
Steps for preparing a coffee enema:
Brew 2 tbsp of organic coffee (should be organic as you want it to be free of pesticides and additives), in 1 liter of distilled water. Also, make sure to brew in a clean coffee maker and that no grounds are left in the coffee.
Allow the mixture to cool.
Place towels where you will be lying down (on your left side) and make sure to pick a place close to the bathroom as you may need to use urgently.
Instill water mixture into rectum using the kit (allow as much as you can hold but do not force solution in). Hold in for 10-15 minutes.
Upon waiting, try to use the bathroom to empty bowel.
Repeat as instructed by the health professional.
