Probiotic Enema - Health Benefits and Step by Step Guide

A probiotic enema helps in refilling the colon with beneficial bacteria.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can boost your health when consumed.

An enema is a safe procedure that cleanses the lower part of the colon. It removes leftover feces that sticks along the colon walls.

Advocates of alternative medicine support the idea that fecal matters hold high amounts of toxicity which are the source of various diseases and health disorders.

Health Benefits

Supporters of enemas also affirm the health benefits of probiotic enemas, such as:

- weight loss

- increased metabolism

- boosted immune system

Also, probiotic enemas may play a part in assisting with treatments of digestive disorders including, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

For those who are not suffering from any of these health issues, probiotic enemas can help assist in the reduction of common digestive disorders, such as:

- bloating

- constipation

- diarrhea

Incorporating a probiotic into an enema fills your intestinal tract with good bacteria that is good for your gut microbiome.

Probiotic enemas have performed well during scientific studies to help reduce the symptoms associated with Colitis and other bowel disorders.

Basic Tools You Will Need

• Enema bucket or enema bag
• Lubricant (for the nozzle)
• Towel (if you choose to lie on the bathroom floor)
• Probiotic capsules
• Bowl or cup
• Filtered water

Step-By-Step Guide

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do a probiotic enema:

Step 1

Pour in 12 oz of filtered water in a large bowl.

Step 2

Open 3 capsules of probiotic and mix the probiotic powder into the bowl filled with water.

Step 3

Let the mixture sit for about 8 hours. It is best to administer enemas during mornings, so prepare your probiotic solution before you sleep and leave it overnight.

Step 4

Using a high-quality enema bag, start the enema procedure by filling the bag with the probiotic solution. See to it that you clamp the bag carefully. 

Step 5

Lie on the bathroom floor with a towel underneath or lie in the bathtub (whichever makes you comfortable).

Step 6

Insert the nozzle carefully into the rectum. Make sure that the nozzle is lubricated for more comfortable and pain-free insertion. Slowly release the clamp and let the water flow inside the colon. The moment you feel any discomfort, stop the procedure right away.

Step 7

If you can still hold the enema, make it your aim to retain it for at least 15 minutes. If you feel a great need to release your bowels even before the 15 minutes is over, feel free to do so. Observe your body and release whenever it feels comfortable for you.

Caution

Consult a health professional before trying and performing enemas, especially if you are suffering from any type of digestive disorder.

For those who are suffering from gallstones or ulcerative colon, enemas are not recommended.
