Hi! I have used enemas monthly for a number of years and they always bring great relief - you want to get one of those rubber bag with the hoses - any drigstore should have them - Don't let them make you feel bad - you are taking care of your health! When you get homw, rinse the bag and fill with warm water - I use tap water (Don't ever bother again with the pre- prepared ones and the oil sounds awful! but there are some "recipes" out there which you can research - when full, the bag holds about 2 quarts of liquid. connect the hose to the base that screws into the bag and the other end will be the plastic piece which is inserted into the rectum. Hang the whole assembly up about 3 feet above the the bottom - a shower head works well. If you need to use some vaseline to lubricate the plastic tip, that will help the insertion. The position is kneeling, head down, bottom up (not pretty but effective) reach around and insert the plastic applicator tip and - uh oh!! I forgot to tell you that you should have placed the plastic lock thing on the hose before you attached the applicator tip - sorry....:( There should be a plastic lock thingy about 1 - 2 inched from the applicator tip so that you can control the water flow throught the hose as you are in position. Try about a cup of water and let it out in the toilet - then try about 2 cups and let it out - You should be flushing a lot of crud already. Then finally you can try for finishing off with the rest of the water. Clean you equipment when done and probably best to let hang dry -
Hope this helps!

So,

Lots of good info so far, BUT, let me help, too.

First, never hang the bag too high. Two or three feet above your hips is the most you'll need.

Second, I never worried about tap water; filtered couldn't hurt.

Third, as far as solutions go, you can get a soap that's made for enemas in these cute little packages. I've tried them all as far as mixes go and the only thing that you need from what you've said is a teaspoon of Sea Salt and a teaspoon of baking soda pere bagfull. mix in a cup separately and add about halfway then top off. This will insure everything is mixed.

Forth, Don't worry about being awkward asking for equipment. They've got it and they sell it. Remember, they want to sell medicine and also the enema is a lost home remedy that has been around about five thousand years. Get your equipment , go home and keep your business to yourself.

Fifth, too, much of anything is not good. Once you are clear, use as needed. To get clear use one a day for three days or so. After that, if you think it is for you, set aside an enema day once a week. That is what many people do to clense and detoxify.

Lotsaluck buddy, I know just how you feel and how people make you feel,
