Olive Oil Enema: Does It Work?

 

Introduction:

Olive oil has a wide variety of applications in addition to all its benefits.

The popularity of olive oil as a cooking oil is unquestionable. It is produced from olives, which are small fruits that grow on trees. Since ancient times, olive oil has been a healthy cooking and dressing ingredient. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it as medicine and a cosmetic product.

Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats, considered healthy fats because they lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels when consumed regularly. Monounsaturated fats also help reduce inflammation in the body and may help protect against certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and arthritis.

Although the health benefits of olive oil have been known for centuries, experts just recently began investigating its potential role in preventing or treating specific diseases such as cancer.

Why is olive oil so good for your gut?

It's loaded with monounsaturated fat, which has been shown in many studies to help reduce inflammation and protect against cardiovascular disease. Olive oil also contains plant compounds called phenols, which have antioxidant properties that help prevent cell damage and even fight cancer.

Olive oil is also rich in a nutrient called oleocanthal, which gives it an edge over other fats. This compound has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties similar to ibuprofen—but without side effects!

Olive Oil Enemas

Olive oil enemas are a natural way to cleanse your colon, reduce inflammation, and help detoxify your body. Olive oil has been used for thousands of years as a lubricant, moisturizer and medicinal remedy. One of the most popular uses for olive oil is in enemas.

Using olive oil for enemas is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries. It's thought that Hippocrates may have used olive oil on his patients as early as 500 BC.

Olive oil enemas are an excellent option for individuals who don't have time to do a full-on detox or cleanse but still want to give their digestive system a little extra love.

Olive oil enemas have been used to treat constipation, hemorrhoids and other health problems that cause cramping and pain. The benefits of olive oil enemas are numerous: they can help relieve symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease and colitis; they can also assist in healing hemorrhoids, skin irritation and varicose veins by helping to soften tissue and improve circulation.

 Olive oil enemas are also very safe when administered correctly -- so long as you don't suffer from an obstruction or blockage in your intestines or rectum -- because they do not contain any toxins or chemicals that could be harmful to your body if ingested orally or rectally.

How To Do An Olive Oil Enema

1. Drink lots of water before the enema. This will eliminate toxins from your bowels before they reach your body through the tube inserted into your rectum during the treatment.
2. Purchase a high-quality enema kit. Medisential Premium Enema Kit is highly recommended because it's easy to use, made from nontoxic grade materials, and is long-lasting.

3. Buy EVOO. Use cold-pressed, organic olive oil in a glass or metal containers. Olive oil is safe to consume if properly processed and stored, but your store-bought product might not be, so choose the finest quality for your enema.

4. Next, fill the enema bag with warm water and add about two tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil.

5. Mix it by gently swirling the bag around until everything has dissolved into the solution—this should take about two minutes or so.

6. Gently push the tip inside your rectum when you're ready and calm. Use enough lubrication for comfort, but not too much! After the process, wash off the extra lubricant with warm water.

7. If you are using a bag (recommended), squeeze it gently until about 1 cup of warm water has been poured into it (about 30 seconds). Squeeze out any air bubbles in the tube before inserting it into your rectum.
   
   If you are using a bucket, let gravity do its work as you hang over a chair or bed with your knees bent and feet on the floor to keep your body in an upright position so that gravity can help drain out any remaining fluid from your colon (use more water if needed),

8. Hold the rest of the solution in for about 15-20 minutes.

9. Empty your colon in the toilet and repeat as necessary until you've relieved yourself of all that built-up gas and waste.

Special Precautions

Olive oil enemas are a great way to treat constipation and other digestive issues, but they're not without risk. Before this procedure, ensure you're in good health—and even better shape—with no major medical concerns. Be sure to consult with a medical professional before trying it out. If you're not sure if you can do an olive oil enema, here's a list of people who should not perform this procedure:

• People with colostomies or ileostomies
• People with hemorrhoids
• People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• People who are allergic to olive oil
• People who have cancer of the rectum, anus, or colon 

Pregnant women should avoid using olive oil enemas because they may cause irritation or infection in the vaginal area. Breastfeeding women should also avoid them because of the possibility of contamination from fecal matter from the rectum into their baby's mouth during feeding time.
