It can be helpful to gently massage your abdomen to assist flow of enema solution into entire colon. Massage your colon from bottom left corner of your abdomen toward your chest, moving water up descending colon, then across toward right, moving water through transverse colon and finally down right side into ascending colon and cecum area. Reverse direction of massage when eliminating enema solution. At Optimal Health Center, we use a massage tool called a Percussion Massager. It works wonders. If you have difficulty holding water or eliminating during a colon cleansing treatment, you may also want to try a massager.
Some people find that being on their left or their right side at some point during a session can make a big difference. Give it a try. Turn over onto your left side and, while gently massaging abdomen, take in more water. This will facilitate filling entire colon. Others find that lifting buttocks off ground with your body propped up on a pillow or using yoga position of a full shoulder stand (not recommend if you haven’t tried this before) will further move liquid into your colon. Try to retain enema for about 5-15 minutes. Sit on toilet and evacuate whenever you need to.
If you can't take all 2 quarts of water, that's okay. Take only what you can hold comfortably. On first enema, you are most likely very full in sigmoid and rectal area. This is where nerve endings that stimulate peristalsis are so it is very common to only be able to take a small amount of liquid on this first fill. Once you take nozzle out and sit on toilet. Make sure you first closed clamp.
After you have expelled your first enema and most of fecal matter on toilet, you will want to repeat procedure. This time follow same procedure, but now try to increase volume of water. With your colon now empty, you will have room for more water. Taking into your colon 1-3 quarts of water is key to an effective enema series. And, take only as much as you can comfortably hold. Do not put yourself in pain that last for more than a couple of passing seconds. Use pain as a guide to what your colon is comfortable with. Again, go slowly. Repeat enema again, if you have time and are still passing feces.
For third enema in a series, I recommend that you use a therapeutic substance like Bifidonate or my Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and MSM implant kit with Peppermint Essential Oil.
With all of this in mind, remember that colon cleansing is a very important tool in health maintenance. I recommend that you start with a program that is easy for you as soon as possible. I think that you will be pleased!
I wish you best of health!
*Note: Always check with your doctor before doing an enema.
