The most important thing while performing an enema, apart from the enema equipment, is taking your time while doing so. By taking the required time, you can most certainly perform the enema without any complications or aftermath. Being gentle and slow at every step, such as inserting the nozzle and releasing the water slowly inside the colon can make a huge difference to your colon cleansing session. Allow only ½ to 1 cup of water into the colon at a time, to avoid any cramping or discomfort.
Open the enema pinch clamp and allow the solution to flow in for 5 to 20 seconds, and then close the clamp. This is a crucial technique for performing a safe enema. Opening and closing of the clamp allow you to control the amount of water that goes into the colon. Along with that, allowing the water to flow in this manner helps you cleanse the colon deeply. Keep the pinch clamp in your hand, so that you can control the water flow into your body by frequently opening and shutting the clamp.
If you allow the enema solution to flow in too quickly, you are more likely to experience some kind of discomfort. It may stimulate the peristaltic movement in the sigmoid and rectum, making it difficult to hold in the solution.
If you experience even the slightest feeling of cramping, immediately stop the flow. Take a deep breath and slowly breathe it out. To calm down your nerves, dab some essential oil on your hand before starting with the enema. When the cramping subsides, you can again allow the solution to flow into your colon slowly until you have taken in 1 to 2 quarts of the solution.
If you follow these tips, you are unlikely to have any difficulty while performing the enema.
