Hydrating enemas

http://www.contentmentacres.com/HGhelps.htm

Hydrating Enemas (to stop dehydration and stop the vomit cycle (read in intro) that occurs when you are too dehydrated-not a "fun thing" but it helps a great deal. You can FEEL your body reviving from the fluid it absorbs so quickly. Faster, readily accessible, less invasive, less hassle and less costly than i.v.s. Enemas is what they used before i.v.s to save lives. Pedialyte can be used as a hydrating enema. Do NOT use the solution in disposable enemas you buy off the shelf...I drain out that liquid and use Pedialyte or the homemade equivalent. 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 quart water is a rough equivalent for a rehydration solution. You can also use a weak raspberry leaf tea with honey and a pinch of salt or Gatorade. Warm to about 100 degrees and go slow to avoid cramps. You need to begin this earlier rather than later.) REMEMBER: It is not enough to restore water to your body. You also need your electrolytes and digestive enzymes to be balanced. There is a list of symptoms of dehydration at the bottom of the page.

Hydrating enemas. It is basically water, with a lot of sugar and some salt.
Here is a hydrating enema formula for a 6 year old child:

• 0.75 liters of room temperature water
• 5 tablespoons of real sugar
• 1 tablespoon of real sea salt

Mix in enema kit until all is dissolved. Administer the enema. Have the patient hold the enema some 10 minutes. You can have the patient lie in different positions to let the enema go round and round the intestines. Distract the patient with television, movie, stories, games or anything so he can hold it. Then let him blow out in the toilet.
Observe patient and repeat if necessary.
You can then probably use oral hydration. See to it fats are ingested. Fats let humans be hydrated longer and steadier. If patient is so fat deprived, you can later on stick in some virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil as enema.
Enema is faster and safer than any IV drip in hydrating patients. You must have an enema kit at home. You must practice using it before hand. Remember to lubricate the anus and the enema end with something like ghee, other thick oils, or petroleum jelly — it’s not specific, any will do. Be careful with your insertion angle. Listen to the patient if it hurts… you have the wrong angle, try again.

The fourth step of the five-part panchakarma treatment is enema therapy or basti. Unlike traditional Western enemas, however, which use plain water, Ayurveda uses herbal infusions, medicated oils, or other natural substances to cleanse the colon and large intestine.
We choose from a wide variety of substances in creating the basti mixture. Among others, we may use infusions of aloe, rosemary, prickly ash (don't worry, it doesn't prickle), fennel, cinnamon, juniper, or ginger; essential oils such as bay, cardomom, eucalyptus, lemongrass, myrrh, and sage; or even coffee, milk, flax seed oil, sesame oil or yogurt.

Proctoclysis

Proctoclysis refers to the rectal administration of fluids developed for patients who require parenteral hydration, but who are unable to receive it by another route, because of contraindications or lack of technical resources. Decreased oral intake is an consequence of cancer associated anorexia, lassitude, depression, gastrointestinal symptoms or mass effect of the tumor that precludes oral intake. Absorption of fluids has been noticed after enemas. It is a safe, effective and low-cost technique for the delivery of hydration in terminally ill cancer patients, who do not have tumor involvement of the colon.⁷⁶ It does not need any sterile device or manipulation and can be delivered by family members or other non-professionals, with minimal training and oversight. Potential applications may lie in rural areas or developing countries with minimal access to health care professionals.
A #22 French nasogastric catheter is inserted approximately 40 cm into the rectum and normal saline or tap water is infused at a rate of 250 cc/hr. Hydration is well maintained at minimal cost and discomfort. In patients with severely restricted oral intake or dehydration, the decision to administer fluids should be individualized and made on the basis of a careful assessment that considers problems related to dehydration, potential risks and benefits of fluid replacement, and patients' and families' wishes.⁷⁷

WATER
water or filtered water – I recommend Reverse osmosis or distilled when I say filtered water! Very hydrating when held for anything up to 20 minutes offering an essential re-hydration message to the bowel and body. Use between 1 & 2 pints, maximum 2 pints.

CHAMOMILE Lovely relaxing enema this one! Still stimulates a release from the liver but is gentler than coffee. You can use camomile flowers or tea bags – flowers are stronger but make sure you really sieve them well as you don’t want the little bits going up your bum – enough up there already! Use 1 – 2 tablespoons of flowers and simmer for 20 minutes. If using bags, use 2-3 bags for 1 litre of liquid and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Camomile can be held for 20 – 30 minutes (if you can). Smaller ½ pint implants are also nice at the end of the day if you have trouble sleeping – this means the liquid goes in and you just keep holding and go to bed.

ALOE VERA This is a great anti-inflammatory enema and is also very hydrating for the colon and body. Add anything up to 2 tablespoons of Aloe Vera to your water enema. Hold for up to 20 minutes.

MAGNESIUM CITRATE Now then, Magnesium Citrate enemas are fabulous as magnesium works opposite sodium, hence it draws it out! So, when sodium levels are high (toxins) magnesium can be very relaxing and effective. I recommend 2 magnesium citrate capsules emptied into 2 pints of water and hold for up to 20 minutes. You can also add magnesium into a coffee enema for a more relaxing effect if you find coffee to be too stimulating. Magnesium is relaxing, hydrating & very cleansing. To get the most out of your magnesium, blend it into the water otherwise it can get all cloggy and not dissolved (thanks Jay!)


COFFEE The Coffee Enema contains caffeine, and it’s the caffeine, theophylline and theobromine that combine to stimulate the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and bile ducts! The effects of having a coffee enema are not the same as drinking coffee as the veins of the anus are very close to the surface of the tissue, hence the caffeine is easily and quickly absorbed (and in higher concentration) than it is when coffee is drunk. Additionally, coffee has a chemical makeup that is simulative and the enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates, help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the haemorrhoidal vein and then taken up to the liver by the portal vein. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away into the gastro-intestinal tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flooding of the lower colon, so, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile are carried out of the body and we are left with a happier and less toxic liver! Put 1 tablespoon of Organic Ground Coffee (if you are sensitive and just starting out doing enemas use only 1 teaspoon and gradually use more if and when you feel the need to) and 1 pint of clean filtered water into a saucepan and bring this to the boil for 3 minutes without a cover on it (this is so the fat burns off the coffee) then cover the pan and simmer on a low heat for 12 minutes (total cooking time 15 minutes). Sieve the coffee into a jug and then make this up to 2 pints of liquid by using more water making sure the liquid is at body temperature (you can just use the finger test for the temperature), this is ready to use. Place the liquid into the enema bucket and then run off a little liquid to get any air bubbles out... you don’t want these bubbles up your bum! You will have an on/off flow tap at the end of the tube. Hold between 12 & 15 minutes then release. Best to do a coffee enema in the morning as they can be stimulating.

LINSEED OIL – FLAX This enema is an eye opener in many ways!!! Linseed oil is an anti-inflammatory sodium releaser that promotes cellular activity and liver function. It is recommended that you always follow an oil enema with a water flush to make sure that all the oil has been released... however; oil can still pass out during the night! Use 250-500mls of linseed/flax oil, warm it first by placing the bottle in warm/hot water and then place it into your bag/bucket and top it up with warm water so it can flow nicely. When using a pint (that’s the oil and water combined), try and hold for 1 hour – release and then do a water flush.
