As a detox and wellness brand, we get a lot of questions about the use of coffee enemas, usually regarding who they’re for and what they actually do. Enemas are a very versatile detox and wellness tool that can aid with many different things. While water enemas are fantastic for constipation, coffee enemas offer a more elevated detoxification. Which one is right for you?
Water Enemas
Most people are suitable candidates for water enemas, but they are most beneficial for those with constipation. The water comes into the colon stimulating a manual release from the colon and produces a bowel movement near immediately. Enema in, sit on the toilet, waste out - it’s simple! Extremely effective for those who have lazy bowels, constipation, bloating or enjoy the benefits of colonics and want a way to do this at home yourself. Stress is another big impactor for constipation! So many people who eat well, exercise and drink water still suffer. So this is a great option for them to get natural quick relief.
The only people who aren't suitable for water enemas are those who have had their entire bowel removed or those with kidney or heart issues. As a water enema would change the water level in the body, you would need to talk to your doctor before use with any of those more serious conditions.
What is a coffee enema?
A coffee enema is a tool to help cleanse your colon and support liver detoxification by gently introducing warm organic coffee solution into the colon via the rectum. This softens the stool, increases liver bile flow and naturally stimulates the peristaltic motion to help release toxins from the liver and bowel. During a coffee enema, organic caffeinated coffee is used instead of just water to help stimulate the liver’s production of glutathione, a crucial antioxidant for detoxification, by 600 - 700% (wow!), while also assisting the body in eliminating toxins and parasites. You then hold the 700 - 800ml of coffee in the colon for 10 - 15 minutes which is when the magic happens. During a 15 minute coffee enema hold, the entire blood supply passes through the liver for filtration 4 - 5 times for filtration, removing toxins and chemicals from the blood and tissue.
How do I know if coffee enemas are for me?
First let's talk about who they are not for. Coffee enemas are not for anyone who is pregnant, has extreme kidney or heart issues. They are also not suitable for anyone with a coffee allergy, histamine problem or if you have a colostomy bag. They are a deeper form of internal detox that support the body to detoxify and eliminate effectively from the colon.
Who are coffee enemas most suitable for then? Anyone who is looking for natural liver detoxification support, constipation and bloating relief and a way to allow the body to heal, reset and naturally rebalance. They are an essential part of the Gerson Protocol for healing and have been used at home safely for centuries.

Can anyone do coffee enemas?
As powerful as they are, coffee enemas aren’t for everyone. If you’re pregnant, recovering from surgery, or dealing with certain medical conditions, it’s best to consult a qualified health practitioner before starting.
Always listen to your body and seek guidance if you’re unsure. And if coffee enemas are not for you, maybe a water enema or one of herbal blends is what you need!
