Baking Soda Enema Benefits & Side Effects (Plus Recipe Directions)

How to make a baking soda enema

I love enemas! I've been doing coffee enemas and boasting about their benefits for decades. Today I'm going to introduce you to another favorite colon cleansing enema! The amazing baking soda enemas!

My Baking Soda enema recipe is a unique intestinal cleanse combining sea salt and baking soda that will have you kissing your irritable bowel syndrome goodbye! It is a way to gently cleanse the human body while gaining a plethora of health benefits.

An enema is a procedure of introducing fluid into the rectum via the anal canal. The main function of an enema is to clear the body of accumulated toxins through the colon! Any people notice a sense of well-being after a colonic or enema. The history of doing enemas goes way back to the Egyptians. I've been doing enemas and clinics for 20 years and believe in the healing powers of cleaning the colon! Health begins in the gut! We're only as healthy as our digestion. One of my favorite enemas that always leaves me as a chipper Lil butterfly is a baking soda sea salt enema!

The human body pH is 7. 35, when baking soda and water are mixed, their combined pH level becomes more than the body pH level. Therefore leaving the body in an alkaline state where parasites and disease cannot thrive. Most of my clients after taking a baking soda enema feel an elevated mood and content feeling; this is due to the enhanced activity in receptors to the brain. The enema tends to increase the absorption of certain chemicals like serotonin and endorphins.

Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass repopulates your gut flora and alkalizes your digestive system.

Epsom salt

The use of Epsom salts can further aid the body in releasing mucoid plaque from the body.

Garlic

Garlic helps aid the body in ridding itself of candida (yeast overgrowth).

Just like a coffee enema, coffee helps to stimulate the portal vein to release old bile from the liver. This allows the bowels to move more freely.
