We all know that enemas are a powerful detoxing tool to help take the ‘bad stuff’ out. But when it comes to detoxing, it is just as important that you are putting the ‘good stuff’ back in.
Having a post-enema routine is important when detoxing to help support your body. It can also help to relieve detox symptoms which can be common, especially when your body has high toxicity or inflammation. So what is the good stuff?
- Electrolytes
- Probiotics
- Good nutrition
Let’s take a look into why these three things are important.
Hydrate with electrolytes
When doing enemas, it is important that you stay hydrated. Electrolytes are essential minerals with an electric charge that play a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve signaling within the gut.
They help regulate water movement in cells, support digestive function, aid in muscle contractions, and promote enzyme secretion. Maintaining optimal electrolyte levels is key to a healthy gut microbiome.
During an enema, you absorb a significant amount of water, which is then released on the toilet. It is possible to experience fatigue or mild flu-like symptoms, which are normal aspects of the detoxing process, especially if you are releasing a high amount of toxicity. To support your body through this phase, it’s important to stay hydrated and that's where electrolytes can assist to help minimise detox symptoms, enhance hydration, and support a healthy gut.
Happy Bum Hydrate is a unique electrolyte blend, designed to complement your enema detox journey. Packed with fulvic acid, vegan BCAAs, L-glutamine, and zinc, it helps replenish vital nutrients post-detox while elevating your gut health.
Take pre and probiotics
Taking a prebiotic and probiotic can help to reset your gut microbiome as it adds beneficial bacteria to your colon to help with your gut function. This is important for anyone doing enemas because not only have you rid your body of bad bacteria, but in the process, you may have cleared some of the good bacteria that your body needs to maintain a healthy balance.
Prebiotics and probiotics are essential for repairing and balancing your gut flora, which enhances your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and vitamins more effectively. They also help to strengthen your immune system, helping your body fend off diseases, regulate bowel movements and reduce the risk of infections.
Happy Bum Biotic is specifically formulated to enhance gut health, featuring the scientifically proven LactoSpore Bacillus. This powerful strain can help alleviate symptoms of IBS and IBD by colonising directly in the large intestine. When delivered via a bulb straight to the source, it boasts a significantly higher absorption rate than many traditional probiotics.
Additionally, Happy Bum Biotic includes Acacia Gum, a natural prebiotic fiber that nourishes healthy gut bacteria. This expertly crafted blend supports the repopulation of beneficial bacteria, which is crucial for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome - especially important for those regularly detoxing.
Good nutrition
After an enema, it’s important to be mindful of the foods (and drinks) that you digest. Aim for un-processed foods that are hydrating, rich in fibre, and high in nutrients to support your digestive health. On the other hand, avoid drinks and foods that might irritate your digestive system, such as processed or greasy foods, refined sugars, and overly spicy foods. Remember to eat mindfully and chew your food properly too.
Poor digestion can disrupt the balance of your gut flora and weaken the intestinal lining, leading to inflammation, compromised immunity, and a decline in overall health. Considering these factors, it's clear that incorporating Happy Bum Gut Greens into your daily routine—or using it in an enema—can offer significant benefits for everyone.
Our Happy Bum Gut Greens combines alkalising greens with digestive enzymes to give you the perfect blend of nutrients you need. This powerful blend not only supports gut health but also aids in the elimination of heavy metals from the body, further promoting detoxification and overall well-being. Best of all, you can add this to your juice or smoothie, your enema or your bulb for faster absorption.
To help replenish minerals and further support detoxification, you can use our Happy Bum Gut Scrub which is made from 100% Diatomaceous Earth. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural mineral powder that can help bind and remove parasites, heavy metals, and toxins during a detox. This amazing natural ‘internal exfoliator’ can even help to support hair growth, healthy skin, strong bones and healthy teeth!
Our Happy Bum Fibre is a blend of soluble and insoluble fibre. A delicious, multi-functioning fibre blend designed to gently increase fibre intake and enhance digestive wellbeing.
Consider an enema bulb implant kit
For faster results after an enema, consider using a Happy Bum Bulb Implant Kit. This kit is designed to administer probiotics and herbal blends straight into the bloodstream.
This therapeutic solution of only 100-200ml can reach your liver in minutes through the rectal veins. They’re easy to use and work best directly after an enema.
Caring for your gut after an enema is important. Focus on eating hydrating, fibre-rich, and probiotic foods while steering clear of irritants like processed foods and excessive spices. Stay hydrated with electrolytes, listen to your body, and be patient as your gut adjusts.
Good after care helps your digestive system recover faster, minimises detox symptoms, and can support your overall health.
Happy detoxing!
