Looking to detox but not sure where to start?
A coffee cleanse is a great idea that takes only minutes out of your day and doesn’t require any long term commitment.
What you will need:
1. Organic coffee – never use regular coffee as many of them contain pesticides which could make your health worse rather than helping. What I use and suggest is made by The Aussie Company. It is specifically made for coffee enema usage and is finely ground. No chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. USDA organic.
2. The Enema Kit – Bag, tube, tips, and hanger! Easy to use and clean.
3. A Keurig or coffee Pot to brew the coffee. Just use one serving as if you were making one strong cup of coffee.
4. A Towel to lay down comfortably on the floor.
5. 15 to 20 minutes of privacy.
To prepare for a coffee enema, do the following:
- Add 3 rounded tablespoons of slightly roasted drip ground coffee into approximately 1 liter (a little over 1 quart) of boiling distilled or filtered water.
- Continue boiling for three minutes and then simmer for 15 minutes.
- After cooling, filter and add water to replace the evaporated liquid to achieve a solution of about 900 milliliters (almost 1 quart)
- Wait until the solution is close to body temperature before using it.
- Set up a space on your bathroom floor lined with old towels to do the enema. The place you do your enema should be a spot where the enema bag can be hung overhead, like near a door.
- Position a timer or stopwatch nearby so you can track the timing of the procedure, which should take about 15 minutes.
To administer a coffee enema, do the following:
- Hang the enema bag so the top is about waist-high. Close the clamp on the hose to avoid leakage when it is filled.
- Pour the enema coffee into the enema bucket or bag.
- Use a salve or lubricant to moisten the end of the hose or nozzle.
- Hold the end of the hose slightly higher than the coffee in the enema bag. Open the clamp just enough to purge air from the hose and allow coffee to fill the hose almost to its end.
- Pulsed squeezing of the hose will force trapped air pockets out. Then, close the hose clamp.
- Lie on your left side, pull your knees up, and gently insert the nozzle of the enema hose or colon tube 4 to 6 inches into your colon.
- Allow the coffee to flow in slowly, using the clamp or squeezing the hose with your fingers to regulate it.
- Hold the coffee in your colon for about 15 minutes, then proceed to the toilet to release the enema.

We have personally found that these cleanses help us feel better, more energetic, less bogged down, and even help to eliminate chronic headache.
