Step 1
Warm up your body. Walk around or do some mild exercises.
-
Step 2
Hang the full enema bag from an IV pole or towel rack. You don't want it more than 2 feet higher than you or it will run too quickly.
-
Step 3
Attach the end of the colon tube onto the tube of the enema bag. Medium-size colon tubes, like the size 24 or 26 French DAVOL, are preferable over a smaller size that can damage the colon.
-
Step 4
Lubricate the colon tube with a pure natural vegetable oil or Vitamin E cream.
-
Step 5
Lay down in a comfortable place on your left side. Take a deep breath and insert the tube into your colon. Start a small flow of the enema, which will create a channel. Move the tube inside slowly. The soft rubber-like tube will go in anywhere from 12 to 20 inches, however if it only goes in a few inches, don't force it. That will probably be enough.
-
Step 6
Once the tube is partway in, turn onto your back. Lift your hips up onto a pillow to let gravity do some of the work.
-
Step 7
Relax. Breathe evenly and let the water go in deep no matter how far the tube is in. Take the enema for 5 to 20 minutes. Let it sit for a while before getting up onto the toilet to expel.

on 3/30/2009 For Step 5, prior to inserting the tube, it will be much easier and more comfortable if you lubricate around your anus and inside the first inch or so.For step 7, if you start to cramp, or become uncomfortably full, use the shutoff to stop the flow for a minute or so. This will allow some time for the water to distribute higher into the colon and reduce discomfort. Then resume the flow until the bag is empty.
