Well, the best enema kit is made from non-toxic material, will have a variety of comfortable tips for insertion, will have a ton of 5 star reviews and will come in a discreet drawstring bag. Oh, and, it’ll be made by a company called Aussie Health Co.
Okay, we’re biassed, but seriously, if we can’t be the best in the world at making enema kits, then what can we claim!?
Before we begin though, it’s worth realising that we’ve come a long way since the first enema kits, like the one pictured below from the 17th century!
After years of refining, customer feedback and manufacturing samples, here’s the list of the best enema kits for 2018.
The best enema bag is Aussie Health Co’s Premium-Purity™ Non-Toxic Transparent Silicone Enema Bag Kit.
Why is it the best?
The best enema bucket is Aussie Health Co’s Premium-Purity™ Non-Toxic Transparent Silicone Enema Bag Kit.
I mean would you just look at it? She is a thing of beauty.
Why is it the best?
The best enema bulb is Aussie Health Co’s Clear & Cleanable™ 7oz Enema Bulb Anal Douche Kit.
Why? *drum roll* because we were the first people, on the planet, to create a transparent bulb so that you can make sure the liquid is completely drained before using it.
Yes I know what you’re thinking, my goodness, these guys are geniuses and well, we don’t want to too our own horn too much, but we’re pretty proud this bulb (well, as proud as you can be of an enema bulb)
Seriously though, why is it the best you ask?
Overall though, it’s the company behind these enema kits that should make this an easy decision for you. Here are some reasons:

A water enema recipe is simply an enema that is done using an enema kit and water. Some people like to use cold water while others believe that most effective is water that is just slightly above body temperature.
Water enemas are most commonly performed to simply moisten stool so that it can loosen and more easily be released.
Some believe this is essential as a routine bowel cleaning measure, while others believe it can help with removing toxins from the body.
Often those looking to remove toxins from their colon ensure they use only filtered water.
Epsom salt enema recipes consist of combining Epsom salts with water (some people recommend about 4 tbsp of Epsom salts to 2 liters of water).
These are similar to water enemas and are performed to aid with constipation by drawing more water from the intestine into the colon and also relaxing the intestinal muscles.
People believe that this results in a more effective cleanse and fix for constipation.
Herbal enema recipes are simply enemas where water is infused with herbal remedies.
These recipes are performed by individuals who believe that the active substances in the herbs can be absorbed by the intestinal walls and go directly into the bloodstream to induce healing effects).
Many people believe that first doing a cleansing enema to clear out their system and then following with a herbal enema allows for better absorption.
A popular herbal enema recipe is the garlic herbal enema recipe involves crushing 5 cloves of garlic up and letting them sit in a liter of water for a minimum of 15 minutes, then straining the water and administering the enema. Some people believe this can aid in removing parasites and candida.
Another popular herbal enema recipe is to boil a liter of water and infuse it with chamomile flowers, then to let the solution cool, strain it and add another liter of cool water. Some people believe this helps with hemorrhoids and soothing a colon.
Basic Yoghurt enema recipes can either consist of
a) mixing lukewarm water with 2-5 tablespoons of a powdered probiotic to create the enema solution.
b) mixing a quart of lukewarm water with a quart of "live cultured" yogurt (some people prefer different ratios for this).
These enemas are performed by those who believe they will help improve gut health by implanting beneficial bacteria into their gut.
Similar to the herbal enema recipes, people who do these types of enemas suggest doing a simple cleansing enema first to maximize the results.
A coffee enema recipe simply consists of taking 3 flat tablespoons of ground organic enema coffee and adding it to 1 quart of distilled water in a pot. Then let it boil for 3 minutes and then simmer for 20 minutes.
Finally, it should be strained and cooled until the water is body temperature.
Coffee enema and coffee enema kits are used by those who believe that by stimulating peristalsis they can effectively eliminate toxins from the body.
Coffee enemas are also a core part of the alternative treatment (for cancer and non-cancer related issues) known as the Gerson therapy. A further reason that they are performed is to attempt to rid the body of parasites living in the gut.

It can be a big mental barrier to get over with putting something where the sun don't shine - but don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds.
Make sure you give yourself plenty of time so that you don't feel the need to rush. Taking a shower to help you feel clean and relaxed can be a great way to start your enema therapy session.Curious about what the one thing you should NEVER do is?
You should never, EVER put any enema solution in your body that is above the body's natural temperatures.
Water that is hotter than 115 Fahrenheit (45 centigrade) puts you at risk for scalding your colon. So, for example, if you've just brewed up some enema coffee for a coffee enema - make sure to let it cool FULLY first before using it.

Many enema users want to know the exact coffee: water ratio, but the truth is that it's really completely up to you.
For practiced users, 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to 4 cups (1 quart) of distilled water is fairly standard, but each body is unique and may respond differently.
If you're sensitive to caffeine or are new to coffee enemas, we suggest that you be conservative with your coffee as you start out. Some first-time users have reported feeling nausea or jitters, and starting with a low "dose" may help to mitigate this.
Check the temperature of the enema solution. If it is too hot or too cold, it may be more difficult for the patient to hold. Not to mention, you run the risk of scalding or freezing and an area that is incredibly sensitive.
The solution should always be at body temperature.
Making sure you feel comfortable will go a long way in enabling an effective enema. Some prefer to lie on a towel, others in the bathtub. As long as a toilet is near, find the best spot and position for you.
Since you're immobile for the next foreseeable 15ish minutes, you may as well take advantage of the opportunity for relaxation. Whether it's meditation, reading, watching Netflix, or just resting and breathing–having a stress-free activity may help to alleviate any potential anxiety (or impatience).
Once you're mid-enema, you're not going to be in a position to make any adjustments, so before diving in, check the height of the bucket. Make sure it is less than 18” above your body, or else the coffee will flow too fast.
Trust us, there's nothing like a tidal wave of coffee coming at your bum to ruin the moment.
The clamp on your enema tubing is your friend. While instilling the coffee, don't be afraid to take a pause and stop the flow with the clamp as needed. And don’t forget to breathe!
If you feel cramping at any point, light massage on your tummy is an option that may help.
You can also try placing the tip of your thumb on the first knuckle of your ring finger and apply pressure to the knuckle. This is a pressure point that can help alleviate cramping in the lower intestine.

Keeping your enema kit spotless and dry after use, will not only keep nasty bacteria build-up and mold growth away but also increase the longevity of your kit.
And better yet, the process is simple, so it will be an easy addition to your enema routine.
If it’s possible, disassemble the entire enema kit, removing the tubing from your bag or bucket and taking care to open the valve, and remove the tip from the tubing.
Prepare hot, soapy water, and wash and flush your bag/bucket, tubing and tips out.
We prefer to use natural products whenever possible, and hydrogen peroxide is one of the most effective natural disinfectants, making it ideal for enema kit cleansing.
Reconnect all the pieces of your kit and pour two cups of 3% hydrogen peroxide into the enema bucket or bag. Allow some liquid flow through the tube and the tip before applying the clamp to trap most of the liquid.
According to experts, 3% hydrogen peroxide requires 2 1/2 hours to do its disinfecting magic effectively, so we recommend that you let your bucket/bag and tubing filled with the solution sit for that allotted time.
If you’re in a bit of a hurry, you can also leave it filled all day (or even overnight).
Once it’s disinfected, dump the solution into the toilet and rinse the entire kit with water to remove any residual peroxide.
Remove the enema tip (nozzle) from the tubing, and submerge it in a small bowl of hot, nearly boiling water. Add in a few tablespoons of peroxide and leave to sit in the solution for 8 hours, or overnight.
As this piece makes contact with your skin (and nether regions), it’s essential to ensure it’s disinfected.
Rinse when done, and dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
Disconnect the long silicone enema tubing once more and hang dry outside (if possible), out of direct sunlight. The steady outdoor airflow will assist in the drying process. Leave the tube to dry for 8 hours.
Although it’s rare, some longer tubing may be trickier to thoroughly dry. If necessary, you can use a hair dryer on a low setting to speed up the process.
If you have an enema bag, you can air dry it alongside your tubing. If you have a bucket, you can dry it off with a piece of paper towel.
Once all parts of your kit are completely dry, place and store them in your storage bag.

For a lot of people putting something into their bottom is the complete opposite of what they're used to having happen down there.
So, understandably there is a lot of fear and worry about doing an enema. However, with proper preparation there shouldn't be anything to fear.
Below is some information that we hope will alleviate any concerns and help you have a more enjoyable experience whether you're using an enema bulb, enema bucket or enema bag.
Most people are scared that inserting something inside their rectum will cause them some pain due to the size of the item being inserted stretching their anus.
But what is most commonly not acknowledged is that most often the enema nozzle tip is smaller than what normally comes out of the bum, so stretching shouldn't be a concern.
What can cause an enema to hurt is if the skin in the anus is torn during insertion or if there are existing skin fissures or hemorrhoids to deal with.
Coconut oil is a commonly used natural lubricant that we also recommend (unless you're using a pre-lubricated chemist bulb).
If you have mediated before you will know what to do, but for those of you who haven't we recommend spending 5 minutes with your eyes closed focusing on your breath going in and out of your nostrils... when you are ready to insert the enema nozzle tip you can also try gently pushing out your anus whilst inserting the tip as some people find this makes it easier to insert.
Here is a guided muscle relaxation meditation that you might like to try too!
Some people do find some discomfort whilst holding in the water from the enema (such as cramps from wind in the colon), whilst others find it completely fine.
We recommend focusing on the breath and breathing deeply if you do feel any discomfort and if you feel like you need to go to the toilet at any point - make sure you do!
However, if you have any other pain whatsoever, we recommend consulting your doctor as soon as possible.

]]>Here are 6 things you should know before you get started.
An enema for constipation is simply the process of inserting liquid into the rectum to help moisten hardened stool.
An enema for constipation is an excellent choice over laxatives as laxatives can upset the entire digestive system (when what is really causing the issue is just the hardened stool in the final part of the intestinal track).
Laxatives can also take quite a while to work (sometimes up to a day).
However, we always recommend consulting your doctor first to make sure that an enema is the right choice for your specific situation.
These are the ready to go enema bulb kits you find in your chemist (often from the brand Fleet).
While these can be a good option for some they use laxative chemicals to draw out moisture from your internal system and moisten the fluid.
Some people do not recommend using these kits as they believe the chemicals are harmful to the body.
Water enema bulbs are similar to the saline laxative bulbs, but you simply suck water into the bulb and squirt it into the rectum.
This can be a good choice for those looking for a quick fix, however for those regularly dealing with the issue or wanting to use more water and enema bag or bucket is an ideal choice.
As mentioned above and enema bag or bucket can provide more convenience for those who find they are regularly blocked up and/or are dealing with severe constipation that may need multiple enemas to fix.
Some people also like to use magnesium with the water to try to create the same effect as the saline enema bulbs.
A standard home enema process is what is usually recommended for an enema for constipation.
Enemas can take differing amounts of time to work based on your individual situation, but often enemas for constipation can start to be active within 10 minutes.
The most important thing to remember is that enemas for constipation can normally be fixed with an improvement of diet.
Eating more plants and roughage, plus drinking more water often is enough to prevent the need for one - however, if you are in a painful situation - please check out our enema supplies to help fix the issue.

]]>The fact of the matter is, the secret to a comfortable enema position is all down to experimentation and finding what's most comfortable for your body.
Some people will say that the left side is best to get the flow correct. Others will swear that standing on their head gives them the best results. At the end of the day, you just need to try different positions yourself and find out which works best for you.
There are 3 main positions that people most commonly use when doing an enema, and we recommend trying them out in the following order:
One final tip is to always make sure you're trying these positions out when you're nearby a toilet! Once you're more experienced you may be able to do your enemas further away - but best to play it safe to begin with.
