Purchase an enema bag at any drugstore or online and rinse it out with hot water before filling it with your cleansing solution. Review the directions that come with the enema bag carefully before you get started.

Understand that relaxation is important to colon therapy. Find a place you can be alone, light some candles and play relaxing music. Whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. Breath deeply.

Fill your bag with your cleansing solution (be sure it is warm, but not too hot) and let it run for a second into the sink before clamping the hose shut. This will prevent you from getting any air-bubbles in your tube.

6
Hang your bag from a doorknob, towel-rack or hook. Avoid hanging it too high, as too much pressure can be uncomfortable.

Lie on your side with your knees against your chest. Lubricate the tip and insert the tube of the enema bag into your rectum until it meets resistance - make sure not to insert it past the point of resistance. Turn onto your back with your feet flat on the ground and open the valve of the enema bag. Relax and massage your colon area with a rubber ball, a tennis ball, or your hands to help matter break free.

Gently roll from side to side, allowing gravity to pull the water through the twists and turns of your colon.

Go to the bathroom when you feel the need. If you don't feel the need in 15 minutes, massage the muscles along your spinal column, twist your torso and reach your hands to the ceiling. In the very unlikely event that nothing comes out at all, you may need to consult a doctor.

Repeat the process, refilling the bag as many as six times. Make sure to expel all of the water before refilling.

Tips & Warnings
If this is your first internal bath, you will probably feel more comfortable in the bathroom, or maybe even in the bathtub. But realize also that this is not a messy process and it is unlikely you will spill water all over your floor. Still, do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable.
Realize that water enters the body on the left side (descending colon) via the rectum, moves up across the body under the ribs (traverse colon) then down the right side of the body (ascending colon) left to right, or counter clockwise.
Colon therapists recommend internal baths when recovering from colds and flu, as it allows the body to eliminate infected mucus more quickly and easily.
Follow the instructions on your enema bag carefully.
It is normal to feel nausea and discomfort when expelling the waste after an internal bath. This is the result of toxins passing from your body in high concentration.
