So I'd like to talk to you about enemas. enemas are a big part of naturopathic philosophy. an enema kit, you can actually order from any of the naturopathic companies such as Nutri gold or psycho plan. And there are companies online that actually sell them, I'd recommend a transparent Anima case that actually, you can feel with your own fluids, when that's not doesn't have any solution within it. And that case is like transparent with like a hot water bottle with a tubing. And these also come with instructions when you purchase them.

And the main thing is that that the enema kit is filled with filtered water that slightly warm so the water needs to be clean water, bottles water, with no additives within it. So tap water wouldn't be enough you need to be filtering that and the temperature needs to be just above body temperature but not boiling for obvious reasons not to code because the body won't hold the water if the system is cold. The water's cold. So you put one to two pints into enema kit and then that would need to be comfortable in your own bathroom nearer to a loo and lying down on the floor either with the Nisa or to the size, and then the nozzle of the enema kit gets inserted rapidly and the water flows in through holding the bag either on the hook or holding it with one hand, the water comes into the colon, and that then gets allows column to be hydrated but also you can actually detoxify the colon in this way.

So if you haven't done an animal before, I'd recommend that you read the instructions or consult with an osteopath. And the first port of call is actually using one pint of water into an enema kit and then allowing that to flow into the body. It feels like a big like an internal mass. So it can feel slightly uncomfortable for some people, but it won't cause any serious Such as in terms of that stage other than feeling like you need to go to the toilet. There it can go. Either way for the first enema, you could find them to absorb all the water, and that's okay, maybe nothing comes out for the first one.

But usually if you do a second one and even a food straight after each other, you start to get some toxicity move in, and that might feel a little bit like diarrhea, and that's normal. So one and pint enema two to three times straight after each other. That gets the lymphatic system moving helps to hydrate and again if you have any concerns, always consulting with a naturopath is really important to you before you embark on this technique. There are many different animals that you can apply, for example, common melanoma to help to soothe the liver and deal with inflammation in the colon. There's also other things that can go into an enema water such as magnesium powder, using wonder grams and magnesium Ginger water solution which again gets absorbed by the colon. These are techniques you might need to use more work with your practitioner.

But certainly the water enemas the three consecutive water enemas are is very, very useful and safe to cleanse and also contraindicated in pregnancy. And so you wouldn't want to be doing enemas in pregnancy, but other than that they're pretty safe. Make sure you do your reading around them and or consult with us or another naturopath in order to understand them fully. There are some other techniques which we use in the philosophy, such as coffee enemas, which is part of the Gerson technique. Again, consult with a practitioner, have a read around this technique. There's many other solutions you can put into an enema water such as Aloe Vera, very, very soothing to the liver very effective as a detoxifier.

That you need to think about what you're trying to achieve through these animals and what might be going on for the individual. taken us a little bit further to colonic irrigation. colonics is when you go to a practitioner and using a high level of water through a been action going into the body. So it's a bit like stimulating the whole system at a cellular level. And so the detox in terms, detoxification process can be much stronger through this technique, because a lot more water's going in, and it's like a sort of pumping action. So it will stimulate the lymphatic system.

With this technique, it's really useful to set your consultation and your appointments around the particular phase of the lunar cycle where you're working with the Wayne engineer moon. The new moon phases is a greater time of detoxification within the natural cycles. And so if you've got an idea of that process, and your practitioner has an appointment, went into new moon on the closest of the name and the better the ability to detoxify the sun Only when it's much stronger than the other times of the month. And so it can be the difference between you know, not getting what you want out of from chronic compared to, you know, feeling quite great after having went around the new moon. So just to explain that a little bit further, the body absorption rate is much stronger around Full Moon, due to the fluid level balance and the way the moon affects the balance of fluids within the body.

And so for me, I'm the absorption phase and he tried to detoxify the colon in that way to the full moon phase, you might find the body's trying to hold on, we could create stress and also logged in symptoms and really can mean that the body's not having that natural detox that you would want. So it can be really effective to explore this, these lunar effects on the body and to choose the right time for you the right technique for you, and also to do it safely. If you're unsure with the guidance of a practitioner
