Improper nutrition causes chronic constipation, bloating and fecal stones. All these problems can be quickly solved with enemas to cleanse the intestines. These procedures can be performed by every person, even at home. You can also use laxatives to cleanse your intestines. All of these methods will be discussed in detail and described in this article.
General information about cleansing the colon with an enema
A huge amount of slag accumulates in the human body over the years. Parasitic infestations, fecal stones, undigested pieces of rotten meat, inflammation in some areas, erosion and small ulcers throughout the mucosa. Alas, this picture is not uncommon and is real for 45% of the population over thirty years of age. Those people who monitor their diet, adhere to vegetarianism, regularly do cleansing enemas and procedures, things are much better.
Why do we brush our teeth daily, wash our face and use deodorizing agents, but at the same time completely forget about hygiene for our own body? The intestine processes kilograms of food and deserves the exact same purification as any other part of the human body.
What will be needed for a bowel cleansing procedure at home
In a pharmacy you need to buy a pear with a tube. They differ in the volume of the rubber part (for filling with liquid) and the length of the tube. Tips can also be made of different materials. It is optimal to choose silicone - it will not cause pain.
You will also need dry chopped herbs and other ingredients from which a decoction will be prepared. Pharmaceutical preparations and an enema for cleansing the intestine equally have useful properties. If the patient is considering what to prefer, let him consult a doctor. If there are contraindications for enemas, you can use modern laxatives on plant extracts.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to conduct a light cleansing of the body, switch to proper nutrition. It is advisable to abandon the use of alcohol. Smoking must also be gradually abandoned. Nicotine has a devastating effect on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
Preparation for the procedure
A couple of weeks before the course of enemas to cleanse the intestines at home, you need to switch to proper nutrition. This will help to facilitate the detachment of fecal stones from the walls of the intestine and will contribute to their easier withdrawal.
Exclude meat fried foods. Fatty pork, lamb, fat. Give preference to light dairy products, fruits and vegetables. Feel free to eat apples, bananas, pears, plums, and pineapples without restriction. It is a plant food rich in fructose, which, in turn, directly feeds the brain. It's time to abandon the forcibly grafted food culture of eating heavy fatty meat. If you fully switch to proper nutrition, the course of enemas will be easy and painless, and in the future the need for this procedure may even disappear.
Safety rules: how not to harm yourself?
Here are simple safety rules for enemas at home:
- No sudden movements: you can damage the intestines and sphincter, and you will have to deal with a completely different treatment. Careless and gross movements can cause damage to the walls of the mucosa and internal bleeding.
- Do not use too hot or cold solutions to fill the enema. The optimum temperature of the composition is room temperature, in the range from 22 to 35 degrees.
- Before using herbal infusions, always check them for an individual allergic reaction.
- You should never carry out a procedure with equipment whose integrity is impaired: the hose is damaged or the bulb is torn. This often leads to injury.
Soreness of the procedure
A very important note: if at some stage of the purification at home the patient felt severe pain, it is necessary to immediately interrupt the procedure. If preparation for the course has been completed, and the patient has no chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, then no unpleasant sensations should arise!
Home cleansing of the intestines with or without enemas should never cause pain. If they arose, it means the violation of the technique of the procedure. There should not be any sudden movements - this can lead to injuries of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. A properly set enema for cleansing the intestines should not bring any sharply unpleasant sensations.
Detailed description of the technique
There are two ways to cleanse:
- lying on the couch;
- in a standing position;
- being in the bathroom.
All of these methods are quite effective. It is necessary to choose what is convenient for the patient based on his individual preferences. Someone is embarrassed to take a knee-elbow pose, someone cannot lie for more than five minutes on one side, someone is not able to relax while in the bathroom. The best method will become apparent after several procedures.
In a Esmarch mug, a pre-prepared solution is poured, from a liter to three. It is advisable to lubricate the tip of the tube with oil or baby cream to facilitate insertion. If the tip is silicone, you can do without using grease. Air is released from the pear, fill with solution. Slightly unscrew the tap on the hose. After the fluid starts to flow out of it, twist it and start the procedure directly.
The tip is inserted into the rectum with smooth movements of three to seven centimeters. The faucet is slightly opened and waiting for the water to fill the intestines. A little liquid remains in the pear. The patient must retain the cleansing solution for at least fifteen minutes.
Walker Bowel Cleansing
The essence of this method is the use of a large volume of solution. In some cases, up to four liters. Do not use this method to an unprepared person.
It is important that the entire cleansing solution passes into the intestines. For this, the patient must breathe deeply and evenly. Massaging movements of the abdomen will help the fluid to distribute evenly and cleanse each section of the intestine.
The duration of the cleansing enema according to Walker is about fifteen minutes. Do not keep the solution in yourself for too long. A complete contraindication to this method is the presence of ulcers and scarring of the intestinal mucosa.
Bowel cleansing according to N. Semenova
One of the most rigorous methods of purification. She is loved to use radical vegans and raw foodists to completely leave the remains of meat food from her body. They believe that thereby improving the overall energy of the body.
The essence of the method is an enema twice a day. Early in the morning (at dawn) and late in the evening, for two weeks on a daily basis.
A series of cleansing enemas according to N. Semenova allows you to clean out all fecal deposits. Due to this, a large weight loss occurs.
Doctors are negative about this technique. It is strictly contraindicated in people with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Frequent and aggressive exposure will aggravate existing problems and entail new ones.
Bowel cleansing according to E. Schadilov
The gastroenterologist E. Schadilov developed a rather mild and gentle scheme:
- day of the first cleansing;
- a second cleansing after five days;
- third purification in four days;
- the fourth purification in three days;
- fifth purification in two days;
- sixth purification in one day.
The result will be a patient's feeling of lightness and getting rid of about three to seven kilograms.
Contraindications to such a cleansing
You should not use any of these methods in the presence of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, even in remission.
The presence of kidney stones and gall bladder also serves as a direct contraindication to such procedures. Remember - bowel cleansing without enemas is also possible. It is necessary to carefully choose the best option.
