Enemas have been used to maintain health and remedy issues for thousands of years. Some of the earliest known medical writings, The Edwin Smith Papyrus (circa 1600 BC) and the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BC), describe enemas in detail.
Hippocrates, the “Father of Western Medicine,” advocated enemas for the maintenance of optimal health.
Another early writing about internal cleansing with water is recommended and described in great detail in The Essene Gospel of Peace (Book 1, p 15-16), a Dead Sea Scrolls text written around the second century AD.
Native Americans from both North and South America used enema bags made from animal bladders and other materials for seasonal cleansing and to maintain regularity. Ancestral African tribes also made and used enema bags in using similar methods.
Enemas have been around for centuries as a means to purge the body of toxins and maintain regularity, which is vital for health. When it comes skin health, enemas a multitude of benefits that come as a result of improving the health and functioning of the eliminatory organs.
The skin is the largest organ, and ultimately, its health reflects overall health. Enemas help reduce the toxic load and helps your liver and colon eliminate more efficiently, preventing toxin reabsorption and improving skin health.
You may be wondering, what does coffee have to do with this?
A 1982 study by the National Research Council (NRC) in the United States showed that coffee enemas have the power to reduce systemic toxicity by up to 700 percent. This is because caffeine and other beneficial compounds found in coffee — when not consumed by mouth and therefore diluted by the digestive tract — work together to stimulate the liver directly to increase production of glutathione S-transferase (GST). This is a powerful detoxifying enzyme that binds with, and flushes out, toxins in the body.”– Angela Doss
Additionally, by increasing bile flow, coffee enemas increase the alkalinity of the entire intestinal tract, making it less hospitable to parasites and destroying many other types of infections (yeast, candida) in the small and large intestines and improves flora quality.
