☕ Coffee Enemas 101: What They Are, Why They Work, and How to Do One at Home

If you're curious about natural ways to boost your energy, clear your skin, support your liver, or just feel better—coffee enemas might surprise you.

While they may sound unconventional, coffee enemas have been used for over a century in natural healing protocols, including the famous Gerson Therapy for cancer. And they’re making a big comeback in the wellness world, for good reason.

Here’s a simple, no-fluff breakdown of what they are, why they’re powerful, and how to do one from the comfort of your own home.

✅ Why Try a Coffee Enema?

A coffee enema isn’t just about clearing the bowels. The real magic happens in the liver.

The caffeine and antioxidants in the coffee (when taken rectally) travel directly to the liver through the portal vein. Once there, they help stimulate the release of bile, increase your body’s production of glutathione (the master antioxidant), and flush out toxins and excess estrogen.

Regular coffee enemas may help with:

• Detoxifying the liver and colon

• Reducing estrogen and chemical buildup

• Increasing energy production at the cellular level

• Improving mood, sleep, and digestion

• Clearing skin and relieving brain fog, bloating, and headaches

It’s a full-body upgrade that’s affordable, safe, and simple to do at home.

🛒 What You’ll Need

To get started, you'll want to invest in a few key supplies:

• Enema Kit:

  • Stainless steel kit (my favorite)

  • Budget-friendly bag kit (just replace monthly)

• Organic Coffee:

  • I recommend Purity Flow Roast – Use the link for 20% off

  • Medium roast, dry (not oily), and pesticide-free

• Filtered Water:

  • Best water filter: Therasage Structured Water Filter (use code beyou for 10% off)

• Trace Minerals:

  • Add minerals to your water for hydration and replenishment. I love these Trace Ocean Minerals (affiliate link)

☕ How to Prepare the Coffee

1. Boil 2–3 cups of filtered water

2. Add 1–2 tablespoons of ground organic coffee

   • (First time? Start with just 1 teaspoon to avoid jitters)

3. Simmer for 10–15 minutes or brew in a French press or coffee maker

4. Cool to body temperature (warm to touch)

5. Strain and pour into your enema bag or bucket

🛁 How to Take the Enema

1. Lay down on a towel in your bathtub or bathroom floor

2. Lubricate the enema tip with coconut oil

3. Insert 1–2 inches gently

4. Let in 1–2 cups of the prepared coffee

5. Clamp the tube and try to retain for 15 minutes

   • Shift positions or breathe deeply to hold longer

   • Use the time to relax, meditate, or read a book

💡 Tips for a Better Experience

• Go to the bathroom first (or use a plain water enema to clear the bowel)

• Massage your belly or the tops of your feet if bloated

• Add ½ tsp Epsom salt to reduce spasms

• Eat a light snack before or after if blood sugar drops

• Can’t hold long? Start with shorter sessions and work your way up

• Always clean your kit with soap and hydrogen peroxide after use

🕒 How Often Should You Do Them?

Coffee enemas can be done:

• As needed — when you feel sluggish, toxic, constipated, or moody

• Once a week for general wellness

• Up to 1–2x/day during deeper detox phases

Tune into your body. You’ll know when it’s time.

A Gentle Reminder

Coffee enemas are generally safe and gentle when done correctly. If you're unsure whether they're right for you, talk with your trusted wellness provider (that would be me if we work together).
