Coffee Enema: The Benefits & Instructions

What is the Purpose of Coffee Enemas?

Coffee enemas are used to stimulate the liver, gallbladder and colon to expel harmful stored toxins, Potent, naturally-occurring compounds in coffee including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline dilate blood vessels, bile ducts and relax smooth muscles, increasing the release of bile. This process helps relieve the toxic load on the liver, which filters a variety of toxins and free radicals from the bloodstream. In addition, coffee enemas help dislodge waste materials from the colon. The documented use of coffee enemas dates back to the 1800’s when medical doctors used the therapy to treat poisonings and in post operative care. They are a powerful cleansing therapy that can be administered in the comfort of your own home with a range of benefits including detoxification and immune support.
