Liver Detoxification With the Coffee Enema

Liver Detoxification With the Coffee Enema

For quite some time, the coffee enema has been a method of liver detoxification. It is considered a low-volume enema, meaning that the coffee does not travel further than the sigmoid colon.

Sitting between the sigmoid colon and the liver is a duct called the entero-hepatic circulation system. Fecal matter is toxin filled by the time it reaches this duct. By employing a coffee enema for liver detoxification, the time that it takes for the fecal matter to reach the bowel is hastened.

The therapeutic benefit of the coffee is a result of the caffeine it contains being absorbed into the entero-hepatic system. This absorption detoxifies the liver and causes its ducts to purge into the sigmoid colon from where it can then be eliminated. When the bowels are purged, other toxins from the body can then enter the liver for the purpose of detoxification.

The caffeine in the coffee is not absorbed into the body since it does not go further than the sigmoid colon. However, if you are allergic to caffeine or experience side-effects from its use, coffee enemas may not be for you.

Here is an effective and simple recipe for a coffee enema:

1. Bring one quart of water to a boil (do not use an aluminum pot)

2. Add to the boiling water 2 tablespoons of coffee and boil for an additional 5 minutes.

3. Remove the coffee from the heat and cool it to about 90 degrees or lower.

4. Strain the grinds out and measure the coffee evenly into two 1 cup measuring cups.

5. Take the enema bag and clamp the end of it.

6. Take one of the measuring cups of coffee and pour it into the enema bag.

7. Release the clamp from the enema bag and let the coffee begin to flow. Once the flow begins, clamp the bag immediately once again. This is to test that the coffee flow is working properly.

8. Hang up the enema bag no higher than 3 feet.

9. Lay down on the floor face down bringing your knees to your chest. Insert the nozzle into your rectum. You can also lay on your side with your top leg lifted up to your chest if this is more comfortable.

10. Once the nozzle is inserted, release the clamp from the bag and allow the coffee to flow into your colon.

11. When you feel “full” or when the bag is empty (whichever comes first), clamp the tube.

12. Try to hold the coffee for 10 minutes before emptying your bowel.

13. Once you have successfully emptied your bowel, use the remaining measuring cup of coffee to repeat the process.

As a result of the coffee, the enema may make you feel slightly jittery and energized.

Repeat the use of coffee enemas as needed.

Regular use of them for liver detoxification can help your liver to function more effectively.
