How often should I give an enema?
We recommend you consult your physician or read the instructions provided on your pre-filled enema. We do not promote alternative enema therapies.

Are enemas safe?
With minor instruction and if your only intestinal related health problem is constipation, then absolutely! If you are unsure check with your health care provider before using enemas.

How often should I take an enema?
If you are chronically constipated, it’s OK to start out taking an enema every day. But soon the muscular walls of your lower intestine will begin to tone-up and you will experience more and more natural bowel movements. (Try to establish a regular time for natural bowel movements and never ignore the urge to have a bowel movement.)

How much liquid should I use?
Most physicians try to limit the amount of liquid to use to 2 quarts. I recommend a maximum of 3 quarts, or as much as you can comfortably hold administered very slowly to lessen cramping. It’s important to remember that enemas should never hurt beyond some mild cramping. If you never use force to administer or retain your enema the threat of stretching the large intestine is essentially eliminated.

Should I add soap or other ingredients to my enema?
If you’re constipated or if you have been taking laxatives then your bowel is irritated enough already! NO . It disturbs the mucous and irritates the lining of the intestine. However there are some additives for enemas that can be very beneficial.
