Coffee Enema Instructions
Supplies needed to make a concentrate:
Light roast organic coffee (not decaf)
Enema bag or bucket
Purified or Spring water or filtered tap water
Organic coconut oil
Hydrogen peroxide
Stainless steel or glass pot
Fine mesh strainer
Thick towel to lay on
Pillow if desired
The coffee concentrate can be made and stored in the refrigerator for 7 days.

To make:
In a stainless steel or glass pot, bring 1 cup of organic coffee grounds and 1 quart (4 cups) purified
or spring water to a boil for 5 minutes. Then simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Strain using a finemesh strainer.
Add additional purified or spring water to bring mixture back to 1 quart (4 cups). Store in glass or
stainless steel container in the refrigerator.

To use:In a stainless steel or glass pot, heat 1 cup of coffee concentrate with 3 cups of purified or springwater. Be sure not to overheat! If so, allow to cool to body temp before using. This amount is for 1
enema session. Most people start with ½ sessions for a few times before using a full session.
Place a folded thick towel on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub. Place a pillow for your head near
the towel.

For 1/2 session:
Following your enema bag or bucket instructions for use, place 2 cups of your mixture (½ cup
coffee concentrate with 1-½ cups water) in bag or bucket. Be sure to clamp your hose off first. Thebag or bucket should hang or be held up about 18 inches above where you are lying.
Lubricate the tip with coconut oil.
Lie on your right side or your back and insert the tube slowly into your rectum about 3 to 6 inches.
Release the clamp and allow liquid to flow until bag or bucket is empty.
(continued on the next page)Remove tube and either remain on your back with feet elevated or turn to your right side. Hold thecoffee for 12-15 minutes. (never longer than 15 minutes). Don’t worry if you have trouble holding it
for that long. It will get easier the more you do it.
After no more than 15 minutes, head to the toilet and expel the contents. This may take a few
minutes. All of it may not come out at one time. Don’t worry.
Repeat using the other 2 cups of your coffee preparation. This completes your session.
If you prefer to do a full session, (recommended) use the 4 cups coffee solution at one time andinstill rectally as directed above. Hold for 12–15 minutes then empty contents into toilet. This
completes your session. May repeat this session in 4 hours if desired.
After each use, rinse the bag or bucket with warm water. Rinse tubing with hot water then peroxideand hang to dry.

Helpful Tips
The best time to do the enema is shortly after a bowel movement. Try to do this in the morning or
early afternoon. Many use the enemas at night and don’t have trouble with sleep.
For ease in retaining the coffee enema you may add ¼ tsp. celtic sea salt to your warmed enema
solution before inserting.
If gas is a problem, move around a bit before taking the enema. Raise your hips after coffee isinserted. This will relieve any gas you may have.
If constipation is a problem, you may want to use a warm water enema first to expel impacted feces.
Urinate before you begin the enema.
You may remain lying on your back with hips elevated for comfort.
If cramping occurs take deep breaths in through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth until
cramp passes. This is not usually a problem.
It is safe to take a coffee enema up to 6 times daily (this is used for cancer patients in Gerson
therapy). You will reap health benefits by taking the enema daily. Some use it daily for years without
any problems. Let your symptoms be your guide.
There are no known dangers to using coffee enemas on a daily basis.
If you do not expel all or most of the coffee, it means you are dehydrated. Drink more water!
You may also use a mineral supplement daily such as MegaFood Balanced Minerals or a liquid tracemineral formula.
