Nutritional enemas - implants





http://www.enemabag.com/enema_implants.html


Implants can be extremely nourishing to the tissues of the colon. Medical doctors have been using anal implants for hundreds of years to get medicine and other healing agents into the body, especially when the person they are administering to is vomiting and can't keep anything down. In other words, enema implants were the original IV fluid.
Common enema implants are bifidonate and water, aloe vera juice, olive oil, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and coffee.
Some enema implants are recommended to be left in the bowels for minutes, others for hours. These are often not uncomfortable to hold, so you can even go about your daily activities as you retain your implant, or you can lie down and take a nap. Many people find that an implant plug is extremely useful while holding an implant.

 SAFE
Enema coffee, nutritious oils, and vegetable glycerin are sold through our extensive product website, www.optimalhealthnetwork.com, accessible from the Enema Kits and Products page.
COFFEE ENEMAS. It is now held by many health practitioners that any program that encourages healing, regenerating, rebuilding, weight loss, and detoxification is a healthier program when coffee enemas are used. Learn more
OIL ENEMAS. There are oils that can be used to lubricate the stool as well as provide nourishment, and thus healing, to the colon. Olive oil, butter oil, and coconut oil are nutritious and promote bowel movements. They cost more than mineral oil, but they offer healing to the colon and not potential harm.
VEGETABLE GLYCERIN ENEMAS. Vegetable glycerin is derived from coconuts and not to be confused with glycerine suppositories, which are derived from petroleum. Vegetable glycerin used rectally tends to work in 30 to 60 minutes to increase pressure in the colon and stimulate peristalsis, thus creating a bowel movement.
Enemas, using healthy solutions such as quality water, nourishing soaps, essential oils, and coffee, serve as strengthening exercises for the colon. The enemas stimulate the colon to vigorously exercise while evacuating itself multiple times. The result is a great increase in muscle tone, acceleration of peristalsis, and eventually, after several repetitions, a considerable reduction of transit time. Additionally, colon cleansing done in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle program may bring about overall health.

UNSAFE
MINERAL OIL ENEMAS. Mineral oil is used in enemas to lubricate the stool, which then often allows the stool to slip out of the colon. Mineral oil is derived from petroleum.  Mineral oil enemas are potentially unsafe for enema use because used internally, mineral oil has the ability to be absorbed by the colon. Once in the body, mineral oil goes into the liver, via the colon, as coffee does. Mineral oil depletes and poisons the liver, pulling out oil-soluble vitamins and minerals which are then excreted into the feces. Mineral oil enemas, done regularly, will lead to nutritional deficiencies.
Mineral oil is popular with drug companies due to its low production cost. Mineral oil is the leftover liquid of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil, and because it is abundant, it is very inexpensive. In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil than to package it for consumer consumption.

Basti: Enema Therapy

http://www.india-herbs.com/expert_advice/21 


Basti: Enema Therapy
Vata's predominant site is the colon. Ayurvedic basti involves the introduction into the rectum of herbal concoctions of sesame oil, and certain herbal preparations in a liquid medium. Basti, is the most effective treatment of vata disorders, although many enemas over a prescribed period of time are usually required. It relieves constipation, distention, chronic fever, cold, sexual disorders, kidney stones, heart pain, backache, sciatica and other pains in the joints. Many other vata disorders such as arthritis, rheumatism, gout, muscle spasms and headaches may also be treated with basti.

Vata is a very active principle in pathogenesis. If we can control vata through the use of basti, we have gone a long way in going to the root cause of the vast majority of diseases.
Vata is the main etiological factor in the manifestation of diseases. It is the motive force behind the elimination and retention of feces, urine, bile and other excreta. Vata is mainly located in the large intestine, but bone tissue (asthi dhatu) is also a site for vata. Hence the medication administered rectally effects asthi dhatu. The mucus membrane of the colon is related to the outer covering of the bones (periosteum), which nourishes the bones. Therefore, any medication given rectally goes into the deeper tissues, like bones, and corrects vata disorders.
There are eight main types of basti, according to traditional texts, each with their own indications and contra-indications as listed below.
1. Anuvasana (oil enema) is used in pure vata disorders and when a person is having excess hunger or dryness related to vata imbalances.
2. Niruha-Asthapana (decoction enema) is used, among other conditions, for evacuation of vata, nervous diseases, gastro-intestinal vata conditions, gout, certain fever conditions, unconsciousness, certain urinary conditions, appetite, pain, hyperacidity and heart diseases.
3. Uttara Basti (through the urethra with men or vagina with women) is used for selected semen and ovulation disorders and for some problems involving painful urination or bladder infections. This is not to be used for someone with diabetes.
4. Matra Basti (daily oil enema) is used by someone emaciated by overwork or too much exercise, too much heavy lifting, walking too long of a distance, too much sexual activity or someone with chronic vata disorders. It does not need to be accompanied by any strict dietary restriction or daily routine and can be administered, in the appropriate cases, in all seasons. It gives strength, promotes weight and helps elimination of waste products.
5. Karma Basti (schedule of 30 bastis),
6. Kala Basti (schedule of 15 bastis; 10 oil + 5 decoction)
7. Yoga Basti (schedule of 8 bastis; 5 oil + 3 decoction).
In karma, kala and yoga bastis, it is better to give both types of basti in combination and not the oil and decoction separately. The conditions under which these are recommended are too detailed to be able to list in this article. In general, the indications and contra-indications that apply to basti also apply here.
8. Bruhana Basti (nutritional enema) is used for providing deep nutrition in select conditions. Traditionally, highly nutritive substances have been used, such as warm milk, meat broth, bone marrow soup and herbs like shatavari or ashwagandha.
