Liquid Castile Soap enema
Castile Soap can be used to enhance the cleansing action of the enema in the colon. The soapy solution causes an irritation to the intestinal lining thereby causing stronger reactive contractions in the colon. Bottles of Castile soap solution, many of which have herbal additives are available in most health food stores.
!! Never use dishwashing liquids or detergents for your enemas they can harm the delicate intestinal lining!!
These soapy enemas are definitely harder to take and hold than a plain warm water enema.
No matter what type of enema that you take you should try to hold it for a few minutes so it has a chance to do its job (5 to 10 minutes should be sufficient)
After using a soap solution, you should always follow up with a couple of simple water enemas to remove the soap residue on the colon walls to prevent further irritation.
Enema recipe:
- 0.3 oz. / 9ml packet of Castile soap
- Mix content of the packet with 2 quarts (1.7 liters) of water to make a good enema solution.
Directions:
- Pour solution to the enema bag.
- Hang enema bag about 18 in. to 3 ft. above rectum.
- The Knee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head this is a best position to receive an enema.
- After the liquid has been inserted, roll onto your back, and finally roll over and lie on your right side. As you are doing this, massage you colon to help loosen and move any fecal matter.
- Insert nozzle/rectal tube tip into anus, using a good lubricant as needed. Using a good lubricant will help prevent injury to the delicate anal tissues.
- Inject solution into rectum slowly, approximately one cup per minute (8oz.) and take as much as possible, you can refill bag if needed.
- Try to slightly distend the colon or until it becomes very uncomfortable to take any more solution.
- Massaging abdomen in counter-clockwise direction during injection will help the solution higher into the colon.
- When the enema bag is empty or no more fluid can be taken remove nozzle/rectal tube.
- For those that have trouble retaining the nozzle and or the solution you might want to try a retention nozzle during the administration of the enema.
- Some people use a retention plug after they received their enema solution and removed the nozzle to retain their enema for the desired amount of time. You can also fold a washcloth and press it tightly against the anus.
- Lie in each position for several minutes, this will allow the enema solution to do its job.
- Then you can move to the toilet and release the enema.
