Everything that has been ingested by the body, both good and bad, must be filtered through the liver. Coffee stimulates the liver and gall bladder, opening the bile ducts and producing flow in the liver, which helps expel toxins. This then allows the body to reabsorb new nutrients more effectively, promoting healing and pain relief. Thus, while coffee enemas can relieve constipation, they serve to stimulate both the intestines and the liver.
Approximately 500 species of bacteria, including yeast and other bacteria that make up the gut flora, exist within the human gastrointestinal tract. These “friendly” bacteria are important for proper digestion, and overall intestinal health. In the body, there also naturally exists a number of microorganisms such as coliform bacteria (E.Coli), yeasts, fungi, parasites, and bacteroids. Unfortunately, today’s lifestyle and environment can cause a depletion of “friendly” bacteria, and thus, an imbalance of intestinal bacteria. This can be the effect of antibiotic use, hormone replacement (especially immunosuppressants such as steroids), an improper diet that is high in sugar, alcohol, and stress. Probiotic enemas can help the metabolism, which impacts obesity and type 2 diabetes; nutrition absorption; immune function; physiology—especially ADD, ADHA, or autism; and intestinal inflammation, such as IBS, ulcers, or colitis.
Turmeric is one of the most powerful herbs on the planet in regards to fighting or even reversing illnesses. Turmeric enemas are a wonderful tool to help combat candida and yeast overgrowth, and include antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal properties. These enemas can also aid in the digestion of sugars, fats, and oils.
