Enema is an ancient technique in which a liquid is forced into the rectum through the anus to induce bowel movement, cleanse the colon and treat colon-related diseases. At times, it is also used to re-populate the colon with good bacteria.
Most
nature therapists believe that for the body to function
properly bowel movement is very important. The reliance
on junk food, refined and processed foods combined with
stress in modern life throws the alimentary track off
course leading to whole range of diseases. One of them
is Candidiasis.
The most
common presentation of Candidiasis is Vaginitis or
vaginal Candidiasis. But the Candida is not limited only
to the genitourinary tract. This yeast, a part of the
normal gut flora, starts multiplying unchecked under
certain conditions. In the intestines they mutate from
the spherical form to the filamentous hyphal form and
secrete toxins. These toxins affect the intestinal wall
increasing permeability and causing nutrients to leak
out. It becomes critical to get rid of the Candida. The
antifungal medications have serious side effects. Use of
enemas is safe and effective
alternative
There are
many different enemas that may be effective for Candida
control. Some of them are:
1. Yoghurt
enema. Home-made yoghurt is good as it contains live
bacteria which help in cleansing and also re-population
of beneficial flora.
2.
Garlic-Epsom salt enema. Three cloves of garlic are
chopped and boiled in two quarts of water, simmered for
five minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt and use
when still warm.
3. Epsom
salt enema. The Epsom salt increases the amount of water
absorbed by the intestine and this has a laxative
effect. This enema is highly recommended as a
cleanser.
4. Salt
water enema. This prevents accumulation of water in the
kidneys.
5. Milk
enema. Milk is mixed with water and olive oil. Honey may
also be added.
6. Salt
and soda enema. Equal quantities of baking soda and sea
salt are mixed in water. Believed to clear toxins
present in the colon.
7.
Glycerin and mineral oil enema. Equal quantities of
salt, mineral oil, and glycerin are mixed with water.
8. Vinegar
enema. This is made with white vinegar and warm
water.
9. Wheat
grass enema.
10. Coffee
enema. Regular ground coffee is used for this enema. The
caffeine helps detoxify the liver.
11. Aloe
vera juice and olive oil in equal proportions. The olive
oil may be replaced by flaxseed oil.
12. Apple
cider vinegar enema.
13.
Alfalfa enema. Make decoction with alfalfa powder and
water. Use warm.
14. Anise
powder enema. Anise has stimulating and carminative
properties, useful in relieving colic and
flatulence.
15. Lemon
juice enema. This may increase
cramping.
While enemas may help get rid of the Candida from the colon, they will not permanently eradicate it. Candida is a result of many external and internal factors in play. To effectively challenge all of them a holistic remedy is called for. A holistic therapist will take into account the mental and emotional condition of the patient along with the physical symptoms. Only when all these factors are taken care of, the body will heal itself.
