Coffee Enema


There are many factors that can negatively affect the gut, many of which are unavoidable or difficult to deal with in modern life. These various toxins include:

  • stress

  • antibiotics

  • long term physical and/ or mental illness

  • other medications

  • operations that require anaesthetic

  • hormonal changes due to pregnancy, menopause or contraception

  • poor diet

  • overconsumption of toxins like alcohol, caffeine and sugar

  • environmental factors

A coffee enema is the insertion of organic ground coffee into the colon usually after a colonic hydrotherapy treatment, helping to cleanse the liver of toxins. These toxins occur from the normal metabolisms of food as well as the carcinogenic toxins from our polluted environment, drugs, food and water pollutants such as pesticides, preservatives, hormones, excreted prescription drugs and fluoride.

  • Colon coffee treatment mainly aims to cleanse the colon and detox the liver. The coffee enema/treatment stimulates the liver to produce more bile; the coffee contains caffeine, theophylline and theobromine which promote the relaxation of smooth muscle causing dilation of the bile ducts and blood vessels. The bile from the gall bladder draws out environmental, metabolic toxins, Candida Albicans and other parasitic-like organisms.

  • To be most effective a coffee enema usually follows a colonic hydrotherapy treatment.

    Up to 750ml of warm organic Robust ground coffee is inserted into the colon.

    The client relaxes for 15 minutes whilst the treatment works.

    After 15 minutes the coffee antioxidant is absorbed by the colon.

  • Cleanse the blood and clear the liver of toxins to improve it’s many metabolic functions

    Boost the immune system & cell energy production and repair

    Remove accumulated toxins associated with general nervous tension, confusion, depression, allergy-related symptoms and severe pain.

  • Sometimes, due to lessening of the blood toxic load, an increase in energy may occur, and some people may feel slightly jittery, although most find the enemas relaxing.

  • When you roast coffee for drinking it cracks like popcorn. The moisture in the coffee bean is heated to a point where it turns to steam and cracks the coffee bean. When this happens a lot of the desirable chemicals in coffee for detoxing is steamed away. Roast the drinking coffee still darker, like a French roast, and it will crack a second time, thus losing even more caffeine and palmitic acid (more to come on these). This is why scientifically, but counter-intuitively, the darker the drinking coffee the less caffeine it contains.

    So for detoxing you want a coffee that is lightly roasted and not allowed to crack. This preserves the caffeine and palmitic acid inherent in the coffee bean. By the way, you can drink this coffee but it tastes nothing like coffee.

  • The detoxing process and colonic nature of the enema itself pulls bad toxins out of the body, but can also pull out some good nutrients. So anyone on a detox program really needs to pay extra attention to nourishing themselves i.e. probiotics, and not feeding themselves ‘full’, but instead giving themselves nutrient dense foods i.e. super greens and alkaline foods.

    So that is often why people choose to have a coffee enema as part of their detox program, especially after a particular time of over indulging! Your liver is an important part of the digestive system and a big piece of anatomy, so worth looking after!
