Coffee Enema

This guide explains how to safely prepare and perform coffee or water enemas, providing step-by-step instructions, essential equipment lists, and tips for managing detoxification while maintaining proper hydration and mineral balance.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

STEP 1: BREW THE COFFEE

Add 2-4 tablespoons of freshly-ground organic coffee beans to 2-4 cups of boiling water. Allow the water to cool to body temperature, testing with your finger or thermometer.

After cooling, strain the coffee so no grounds are present. Assemble the enema bag or bucket and pour the coffee in. Make sure the clamp on the hose is closed prior to pouring the coffee.

STEP 2: PREP THE BATHROOM & ENEMA

Make a comfortable spot on the floor or in the bathtub by laying an old towel beneath you for comfort and incase of a leak. Hang the bucket several feet above where you are laying to allow gravity to release the coffee. The higher it is hung, the faster the coffee will be released.

STEP 3: ADMINISTER THE COFFEE

Prior to inserting the enema, release the clamp to let out any excess air in the enema tube. This will significantly reduce any air bubbles in the enema tube from going into your body.

When ready, lay on the floor with your back with your knees bent or flat on the floor, you may even lay on your right side. Grease the tip of the enema with coconut oil or a natural lubricant and gently insert it into the rectum.

Open the clamp, allowing the coffee to flow. Turn on your right side to help the coffee drain into the liver. Use the clamp to adjust the flow rate of the coffee until you feel comfortable. If the coffee is flowing too quickly, you may partially or fully close the clamp until you are ready to continue.

STEP 4: ONCE THE ENEMA BAG IS EMPTY

Once the enema bag is empty, close the clamp. You may remove the tip from your rectum, or leave it in place. Start a timer, try to hold the solution for 15 minutes before expelling into the toilet.

Once finished, clean the enema bag thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Additionally, allow hydrogen peroxide to run through the tubing. Store once fully dry.

TIPS FOR COFFEE ENEMAS:

  • Do not worry if you are unable to hold the coffee in for 15 minutes. You may only be able to hold the enema for a few minutes at first. It is a process that takes time to work up to. Alternatively, if you are having a hard time holding in the coffee, add 1 tablespoon of organic unsulfered blackstrap molasses. If necessary, divide the enema solution into 2 parts to use consecutively.

  • It is most effective to do a coffee enema when bowels are clear, such as after a recent bowel movement. Alternatively, you may use a plain water enema to clean out the colon prior to administering the coffee enema.

  • You may lay on your right side or try different positions, such as turning to the left side, massaging the abdomen in a clockwise motion, or bringing the knees to the chest.

  • You may experience pressure in your abdomen build up then release. This is your gallbladder dumping toxic bile to be released when you expel the coffee. If the pressure is intense, pant like a dog to relax the diaphragm and stimulate release. If the urge to expel is overwhelming, do not strain or resist.

  • Too many coffee enemas can be depleting, so only do them as often as advised. Remineralize with electrolytes such as Concentrace Mineral Drops, Celtic Sea Salt, and/or CT Minerals by Cellcore. Proper hydration is crucial, so drink plenty of purified water, herbal teas, or coconut water before and/or after doing a coffee enema.

  • If you feel nauseous after a coffee enema, you may have stirred up too many toxins than the body was ready to handle. To prevent this, take a binder, such as Biotoxin Binder or HM-ET Binder by Cellcore with plenty of water (as per your practitioner). If you cannot tolerate this, we recommend Activated Charcoal for quick relief.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN'T HOLD YOUR COFFEE ENEMA:

You'll want to try a water enema. Water enemas are not aggressive as coffee enemas. Many people like to do a 5-10 minute water enema prior to their coffee enema so they can clear their bowels before their coffee enema.

If you (or your child) are not comfortable with doing a coffee enema yet, start slow with a water enema.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

STEP 1: FILL YOUR BUCKET

We recommend 2-4 cups of body temperature or slightly warmer distilled water to be placed in your enema bag/bucket. Make sure the clamp on the hose is closed prior to pouring the water.

STEP 2: PREP THE BATHROOM AND ENEMA

Make a comfortable spot on the floor or in the bathtub by laying an old towel beneath you for comfort and incase of a leak. Hang the bucket several feet above where you are laying to allow gravity to release the coffee. The higher it is hung, the faster the coffee will be released.

STEP 3: ADMINISTER THE WATER

Prior to inserting the enema, release the clamp to let out any excess air in the enema tube. This will significantly reduce any air bubbles in the enema tube from going into your body.

When ready, lay on the floor with your back with your knees bent or flat on the floor, you may even lay on your right side. Grease the tip of the enema with coconut oil or a natural lubricant and gently insert it into the rectum.

Open the clamp, allowing the water to flow. Turn on your right side to help the water drain into the liver. Use the clamp to adjust the flow rate of the water until you feel comfortable. If the water is flowing too quickly, you may partially or fully close the clamp until you are ready to continue.

STEP 4: ONCE THE ENEMA BAG IS EMPTY

Once the enema bag is empty, close the clamp. You may remove the tip from your rectum, or leave it in place. Start a timer, try to hold the solution for 5-10 minutes before expelling into the toilet.

After you have expelled the water enema, you may start your coffee enema.

STEP 5: COFFEE ENEMA

  • Follow the steps on page 1-3.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs):

What is the purpose of coffee enemas?

The purpose of the coffee enema is not to clear out the intestines, but the quart of water in the enema stimulates peristalsis in the gut. A portion of the water also dilutes the bile and increases the bile flow, thereby flushing toxic bile (loaded with toxins by the glutathione S-transferase enzyme system) out of the intestines.

Who was the originator of coffee enemas?

Coffee enemas were originally created by Dr. Max Gerson, who founded the Gerson Therapy technique.

How often should I perform coffee enemas?

We generally recommend 1-3 coffee enemas per week. The frequency depends on your sensitivity level, detoxification status, and symptoms.

Can I use binders with coffee enemas?

You can use binders before or after your coffee enema. We generally recommend before!

Can coffee enemas make you feel sick?

Just like any protocol, it is possible. But if you follow our tips, you will likely not feel sick. If you do, decrease the amount of coffee in your enema and increase the amount of electrolytes you consume after your enemas. Please talk to your practitioner for more guidance!
