There are many ways to make an enema at home using natural ingredients. It is best to check with your doctor or healthcare professional before using an enema to make sure it is safe to take, depending on your particular medical history.

Steps

Method 1 of 7: Method One: Olive Oil Enema

1. 1 Mix olive oil with distilled water. Combine 2 tablespoons in a small saucepan. l. extra virgin olive oil with 1.5 liters of distilled water.
   • Olive oil is a gentle way to soften stools. It also lubricates the rectum, making stools easier to pass.
   • For a slight variation, it is possible to mix 2 tbsp. l. olive oil with 1 liter of whole milk and 0.5 liters of distilled water.
     • As soon as the large intestine metabolizes milk, the bacteria living there form a gas that pushes the enema further into the intestine and makes it more effective.
2. 2 Warm solution. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat it gently over medium heat. Heat the solution to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
   • When making an oil enema with milk, keep a close watch on the contents in the pan to prevent the milk from clotting. If the milk is curdled, do not use the solution; pour it out and start over.
3. 3 Enter and hold the enema for at least 5-10 minutes before emptying your bowels.
   • For some people, milk can react violently quickly enough. You should at least try to administer the entire enema before having a bowel movement, but beyond that, there is a strict time limit for milk-based oil enemas.

Method 2 of 7: Method Two: Acidophilus Enema

1. 1 Heat distilled water. Use a small saucepan or kettle to heat 2 liters of distilled water to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius).
   • Heat water gently on the stove over medium heat.
   • The water can be hot, but not more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Avoid any temperature higher as very hot water can harm your body.
2. 2 Mix powdered acidophilus with warm water.... Stir 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dry acidophilus in warm water until it is completely dissolved.
   • Alternatively, you can crush four to five capsules of dry acidophilus, or use 4 tbsp. l. (60 ml) probiotic yogurt.
   • Acidophilus is a live culture and a type of beneficial bacteria. When it is injected directly into the colon environment with an enema, bacteria spreads more efficiently and can help the colon to clear out.
   • This type of enema can be especially helpful for those with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, hemorrhoids, or colon cancer.
3. 3 Insert and hold the enema for at least 10 minutes before emptying.
   • If you don't hold the enema for at least 10 minutes, the beneficial bacteria will not be able to penetrate deep enough into the colon to work effectively.
   • Holding the enema for more than 10 minutes will increase its effectiveness, but you should be emptied, usually within 20 minutes.

Method 3 of 7: Method Three: Salt Water Enema

1. 1 Heat distilled water to a comfortable temperature. Heat 2 quarts (2 L) of distilled water to a temperature between 98 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (37 and 40 degrees Celsius).
   • Pour water into a small saucepan or kettle. Place it on the stove and heat it over medium heat until it reaches the desired temperature.
2. 2 Dissolve sea salt in water. Add 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure sea salt to warm water. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
   • Enemas made with pure sea salt are one of the mildest types of enemas you can use, making them a good option for those who have never used an enema before. Salt reduces the amount of water absorbed into the bloodstream, but does not draw water from the colon, which means you will feel more bearable with this enema than with most others.
   • For a more potent enema, use 4 tbsp. l. (60 ml) Epsom salts instead of sea salt. Epsom salt contains a large dose of magnesium. They increase the water in the intestines, thereby flushing the intestines more rapidly. However, do not use Epsom salts if you experience stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting.
3. 3 Enter and hold the enema for as long as you would any other. Hold it for as long as possible to maximize efficiency.
   • Note that enemas made with sea salt should be held for no more than 40 minutes.
   • Salt water enemas made with Epsom salts work more quickly and may possibly facilitate a void in 5-10 minutes, but should not last more than 20 minutes.

Method 4 of 7: Method Four: Lemon Juice Enema

1. 1 Heat distilled water. Using a kettle or small saucepan, heat 2 quarts (2 L) of distilled water on the stove over medium heat.
   • The water must be heated to a temperature within the natural range for the human body. Ideally, the temperature should be somewhere between 37-40 degrees Celsius.
2. 2 Combine water with fresh lemon juice. Add 2/3 cup (158 ml) fresh lemon juice to the water. Mix well.
   • Three medium-sized lemons should be enough for the required amount of juice. Make sure the juice is filtered before adding it to the enema water.
   • Lemon juice will cleanse excess feces from the intestines while balancing the pH level in the body.
   • By applying an enema with lemon juice once a week, it is possible to soothe the discomfort caused by colic and chronic constipation.
   • Note that the acidity of lemon juice can irritate the intestinal mucosa, so this type of enema can cause cramping. As such, this type of enema is not recommended for individuals with an abnormally sensitive digestive tract.
3. 3 Inject and hold for 10-15 minutes or as long as you can handle without causing cramping or other intense pain.
   • Since lemon juice is so acidic, it can interfere with holding the enema for a long period of time. You should try to hold it for at least 5 minutes before emptying to get an effective result.

Method 5 of 7: Method Five: Enema with Milk and Treacle

1. 1 Heat whole milk. Pour 1-2 cups (250-500 ml) whole milk into a small saucepan. Heat it on the stove over medium to medium-high heat, bringing it to a low boil.
   • Stir the milk and watch it carefully during warming to prevent it from curdling. Do not use yogurt in an enema.
   • This type of enema can be a very effective way to clear excess faeces from the colon. In fact, it can lead to an extremely unstable reaction in the colon, so it is best used with caution and as a last resort.
2. 2 Mix the molasses with the milk. Remove the pot from the stove and stir in 1-2 cups (250-500 ml) of the molasses molasses. Continue stirring until the two ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
   • The amount of molasses must match the amount of milk used.
   • Mixed sugar with milk and molasses feed the bacteria in the colon, thereby promoting the production of gas, which allows the enema to pass easily further down the gastrointestinal tract. These sugars also increase the moisture level in the large intestine, making it easier for feces to pass.
   • Note that this type of enema is known to cause severe cramping.
3. 3 Let the solution cool slightly. Leave the molasses milk at room temperature until it has cooled down to a temperature safe for use inside the body.
   • The ideal temperature range is between 98 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (37 and 40 degrees Celsius).
4. 4 Enter and hold as much as possible. When the enema has cooled sufficiently, insert and hold for as long as possible before emptying.
   • At the very least, you should try to insert the enema completely before emptying. Applying the entire enema will increase your chances of getting an effective result.
   • Note that this is one of the dirtiest types of enemas that can be done at home. You can use a disposable bag or replacement hose. Keep thick towels with you in case of leakage or premature bowel movements.

Method 6 of 7: Method Six: Garlic Enemas

1. 1 Mix water and garlic. ... In a small non-aluminum saucepan, combine two minced garlic cloves in 1/2 quart (1/2 L) distilled water.
   • You can use up to three cloves of garlic if they are relatively small.
   • Garlic helps remove excess mucus in the liver and intestines. Because garlic has natural antiseptic properties, this type of enemas is commonly used to treat intestinal worms, bacteria, parasites, and fungal infections.
2. 2 Simmer for 15 minutes. Place the saucepan on the stove. Bring the garlic water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. 3 Cool and strain. Remove the pan from the stove and let it cool at room temperature. After the solution has cooled, strain to remove whole pieces.
   • The enema solution should cool down to a temperature of 37-40 degrees Celsius.
   • Strain the solution through a fine metal sieve. Remove whole garlic chunks and inject the liquid into an enema. "Use only the liquid portion of the solution in the enema."
4. 4 Add more water. Add enough distilled water to the garlic water to create a total of 1 liter (1 L).
   • The water you add should be warm enough. The enema temperature should be at least 37 degrees Celsius.
5. 5 Enter as usual and hold the enema for up to 20 minutes.
   • Try to hold the enema for at least 10 minutes before emptying. By holding it for a long period of time, you increase its effectiveness, but do not exceed the holding time of 20 minutes.

Method 7 of 7: Method Seven: Tea Enema

1. 1 Boil water. Bring 1 liter (1 L) of distilled water to a boil in a kettle or small saucepan.
2. 2 Pour hot water over the tea leaves. Place three chamomile or green tea bags in a non-aluminum bowl and top with boiling water. Let the tea steep for 5-10 minutes.
   • Note that you can choose to use 2 tbsp. l. (30 ml) loose leaf tea instead of three bags.
   • Chamomile tea can be brewed for 5 to 10 minutes, but only green tea should be brewed for 5 minutes.
   • Chamomile tea helps to calm and cleanse the colon. It can also cleanse the liver. Chamomile enemas are commonly used to treat hemorrhoids.
   • Green tea contains beneficial antioxidants that can improve your gut health. An enema made with green tea is commonly used to help replenish beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.
3. 3 Remove the tea leaves. Once the tea has been brewed for the proper amount of time, remove the tea bags.
   • If using loose leaf tea, strain the tea through a fine mesh filter. Remove the leaves and save only the liquid tea. "Use only the liquid portion in the enema."
4. 4 Add more water as needed. If necessary, add enough distilled tea water to bring the volume up to 1 L (1 L).
   • The water you add should be warm enough.
   • Before administration, the tea enema should reach a temperature of 37-40 degrees Celsius.
5. 5 Enter and hold for several minutes using standard methods. Hold it for 20 minutes before emptying.
   • For any effective result, you should try to hold the enema for at least 10 minutes.

Tips

• Like tea, freshly brewed coffee can also be used as an enema solution with coffee.

Warnings

• Administer any enemas close to toilets, especially when using quick-acting enemas that work within minutes.
• Use only filtered or distilled water in the enema solution. Never use hard water or water containing chlorine or other impurities.
• Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, do not give enemas more than once a week.
