The Truth About Coffee Enemas (And Why I Still Do Them)
Let’s Get This Out of the Way: Yes, It’s Exactly What It Sounds Like
If you're picturing coffee going where coffee doesn’t usually go… you're right.
But before you run for the hills, listen up:
Coffee enemas are one of the most powerful liver-support tools you’re probably not using (yet). And once you understand how they work, they might become your new secret weapon for detox, hormone support, and gut healing.
So, Why Coffee? And Why There?
When organic coffee is introduced rectally (yes, we’re being adults here), it doesn’t get digested like when you drink it.
Instead, it:
- Triggers the liver and gallbladder to dump bile
- Boosts glutathione production by up to 700%
- Stimulates peristalsis to get things moving
- Flushes out old toxins that get stuck in bile circulation
Basically, it’s like giving your liver a high-pressure rinse from the inside out.
Coffee Enemas vs. Oral Coffee: Totally Different Game
You might love coffee in your mug, but when it comes to detox, oral coffee can:
- Spike cortisol
- Irritate the gut lining
- Dehydrate you
Enema-style coffee? It skips digestion and goes straight to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. Think: bypass the traffic, get right to the cleanup crew.
How to Do a Coffee Enema (Without Freaking Out)
You’ll Need:
- Organic enema coffee (don’t use regular Folgers, no offense, Grandma)
- Enema kit (silicone or stainless steel preferred)
- Filtered water
- A bathroom with a towel and patience
Step-by-Step:
- Brew 2-3 tablespoons of enema coffee in 2-3 cups of filtered water. Let cool to body temp.
- Pour into your enema kit.
- Lay on your right side or back, insert the nozzle gently, and release the coffee.
- Try to hold for 10-15 minutes (do your deep breathing here).
- Head to the toilet and let your liver say goodbye to the junk.
What to Expect
Most people feel:
- Lighter and clearer afterward
- A gentle energy boost (from detox, not caffeine)
- Less bloated or backed up
- A little weird the first time but that passes fast
You may also notice:
- More frequent or complete bowel movements
- Headache relief
- Mood shifts as toxins clear
A Few Safety Tips
☕ Use only organic enema-grade coffee
🧼 Clean your equipment thoroughly each time
🚫 Avoid if pregnant or severely depleted (start with castor oil packs instead)
📆 2-3x/week is a great starting point daily is fine if you're mid-protocol
Real Talk: It’s Not Glamorous, But It Works
This isn’t something you’ll see on an Instagram reel with soft lighting and floral tea. But the benefits?
Backed by science and thousands of holistic practitioners.
I personally use them:
- When I feel sluggish or puffy
- During detox phases or parasite cleanses
- When I need hormone balance support (bile is where estrogen gets dumped!)
One More Thing
Before you grab the organic coffee and call it a day, just know, this isn’t a one-tool fix. Coffee enemas are powerful, yes. But they work best when you support your drainage pathways as a whole.
These tools are meant to work together, not alone.
And if you’re thinking about detoxing, whether it’s parasites, mold, or just everyday toxin buildup, your liver is going to need some serious love to handle the extra load.
That’s why I created a simple 3-day reset to kickstart drainage, boost energy, and prep your body for deeper healing.
