Autoimmune sufferers and health nuts swear by coffee enemas.  When it come to coffee enemas, weight loss is not the only benefit.  If the idea of pumping organic java up your rectum is off-putting to you, consider that this treatment has been around for a long time, and is one of the best ways to remove toxins.

In fact, the earliest known documentation of the treatment is in the Edwin Smith (circa 1600 B.C.) and Ebers (circa 1550 B.C.) papyri, ancient Egyptian medical texts. Since the coffee enema’s earliest days, many healthcare practitioners across the globe have considered the practice to be a staple treatment for their patients.

Coffee enemas have historically been used to treat ailments ranging from cancer to depression. They have also been cited to:

  1. Detoxify and improve glutathione levels
  2. Ease PMS symptoms, such as cramping and bloating
  3. Reduce anxiety
  4. Improve digestion
  5. Banish Candidia
  6. Boost energy
  7. Contribute to hormone regulation
  8. Improve mental clarity and focus
  9. Reduce chronic pain
  10. Improve skin health

Coffee Enemas & Weight Loss

Dr. Raymond Tolmos, a chiropractic internist at Frontier Spine and Health Care, often recommends coffee enemas to supplement other treatments for internal disorders, such as gastrointestinal issues, autoimmune conditions, and weight loss.

“Coffee enemas provide many health benefits that you cannot find anywhere else. For certain patients, they play an invaluable role in their healing.”

How Do Coffee Enemas Work?

Toxins are everywhere. They’re in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. As such, it’s crucial that we help our bodies detoxify. Fortunately, coffee enemas are among the most effective methods of detoxing.

When introduced to the colon, coffee is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to the liver, promoting a beneficial increase in the production of glutathione, which is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a major role in driving toxins from the body. Detoxification of the liver, however, is only beneficial if the toxins have somewhere to go.

Lindsea Burns, nutritional therapy practitioner at the Atlas Health Care Center, explains:

“Our liver is doing the most work and it has the least access to the outside world… We can support the liver all we want, but it’s only doing the cleaning. It’s not taking out the trash. It’s also important to support the gallbladder, which is basically how the liver takes out the trash.”

Burns continues: “The coffee enema can actually stimulate… the biliary ducts [causing them] to open [and] release toxins into the intestinal tract for excretion. So we’re able to support the body internally to do all the work in detox and then we also have a way to help the body eliminate those toxins.”

In short, a coffee enema is a great way to “take out the trash” and refresh your body.

How Are Coffee Enemas Performed?

Many coffee enema users purchase kits online and do them in the comfort (and privacy) of their homes. You can even get a bag for when you travel. The process is relatively simple and consists of:

  1. Preparation of the solution
  2. Delivery of the solution via the rectum
  3. Release of waste
  4. Repetition of steps 2-3
  5. Cleaning your kit with warm, soapy water

Coffee enemas are inexpensive. Anyone can purchase a kit and coffee for under $35, each. The bad news? Well, it could get a little messy. To ensure that your experience goes as seamlessly as possible, here are some tips from the experts:

  • The Body May Not Follow Instructions

Dr. Tolmos explains: “One enema consists of two parts… You want to generally try to retain it for 15 minutes, if possible… But sometimes on the first one you just can’t do it like that.” He notes that, for the first half of the procedure, holding the liquid in can be a challenge beyond 3-4 minutes —and that’s perfectly normal.

  • Cleanliness Is A Must

When choosing an enema kit, we recommend glass or stainless steel for home enema use.  Glass and Stainless steel are unaffected by coffee acids compared to latex rubber bags.  They also last longer and are easier to clean and keep clean. You don’t need to concern yourself with bacteria that can grow inside  moist enema bags. Plastic can leech.

After every use, the kit should be washed thoroughly before going into storage. However, washing the kit is generally pretty easy. Burns says, “I wash mine with soap and water and I’ve never had a problem.”

  • Avoid Coffee Enemas During Periods Of Constipation

While water enemas can be effective treatments for constipation, coffee enemas are intended for detoxification and won’t help much with irregular bowel movements. Burns recommends that, prior to a coffee enema, users should attempt to clear their bowels:

“If Saturday is your coffee enema day and you haven’t had a good bowel movement and you still really want to do that, I would maybe start with 8oz of a water enema to try to clear out the colon before you do the coffee enema.” And for people who are chronically constipated, Burns adds, “Even just taking some magnesium before you go to bed should help you have a smoother bowel movement in the morning, which then would allow your coffee enema to be a lot easier.”

  • Let The Coffee Cool Before You Put It Up There

According to Burns, a steaming-hot coffee enema is not a pleasant experience. “Definitely make sure that, after you boil your coffee grounds and you strain it, you let it cool to body temperature. Because that’s not fun if you have hot coffee,” she says.

  • Use A Dark Roast

Dr. Tolmos suggests that users choose dark coffee, which fosters the release of natural oils that promote glutathione production.

  • Don’t Expect Caffeine Jitters

Despite the fact that coffee enemas contain caffeine, they actually have a calming effect on the body. Burns says: “I personally am someone who’s super sensitive to caffeine and a caffeine enema is not something that gives you a caffeine energy boost. Like I get super jittery when I drink caffeine but a coffee enema is actually super relaxing to me.”

With that said, you may feel jittery or buzzed or nauseous the first couple of times. That means you are detoxing quickly. In this case, you may want to do another coffee enema. Also consume electrolytes or minerals to replenish your body.

  • Optimize The Process With Binders.

To optimize the release of toxins, many coffee enema aficionados recommend taking binders like activated charcoal and chlorella. You might try taking 15 caps of activated charcoal 15 minutes before you take the enema. The charcoal/chlorella absorbs the bad bile and keeps it from re absorbing into the system. Also, remember to drink a lot of water before, during, and after the process.

One Final Note

Dr. Tolmos warns that, although a coffee enema can be very beneficial, it isn’t a cure-all: “This is something to stimulate your process, not something to rely on solely.” Similarly, Burns notes, “Every person is so different… It’s a puzzle every time I meet with a client.” While coffee enemas work great for some, they may not be the best treatment for others. Individuals should pay attention to their bodies and adjust their detoxification plans accordingly.

  1. Excuse me but to become a chiropractor in the state of Florida which is what I did, you need to have a 4 year degree before even entering chiropractic college which was an additional 4 years. I took the exact same prerequisites alongside the premed students. Some of my classmates thought I was crazy for not going into med school because I had the grades.
    to get in. But I wasn’t interested in drugs or surgery and preferred learning about alternative therapies. And instead of learning about drugs and surgery we were taught more about “how the body works”. My degree is Doctor of Chiropractic. But you’re right coffee enemas rule.
    Dr. Kevin Wells

  2. While I’m all for coffee enemas, when I here a “Dr. Raymond Tolmos, a chiropractic internist” presented in this article as if he were a Medical Doctor (MD), it truly turns my stomach. It’s sick because this guy studied for 1-2 years in chiropractic school, and did NOT do the 4 years med school, 4 years residency in which you actually are taught how the body works. What a joke.. Coffee enemas rule tho

  3. I am a big fan of Dr Jay Davidson, & this video is very good for those starting out. Coffee enemas are energizing, so I recommend doing them first thing in the morning. I like optimalhealthnetwork.com for their coffee & video instructions. They recommend doing an enema series, including 2 regular enemas & then the coffee enema. I take chlorophyl & bentonite clay before I start the enema prep. I take chlorophyl capsules & I put liquid chlorophyl in the coffee enema to help absorb toxins. I also use essential oils in the enema. I add the EO to 1/2 tsp sea salt. Tangerine oil helps the lymph. Grapefruit oil helps break down gallstones & thin the bile. Frankincense oil is very healing. I use Clove oil when I suspect yeast/candida but once the yeast is gone I quit the clove oil. I think of clove like a medicine & only use it when needed. I use enema soap & ACV in my precoffee water enemas. I make 4 cups worth & use half then purge then use the other half. I was very reluctant to try coffee enemas, but once i got past the ewe factor, I found them to be one of the most useful tools in my healing regimen. I had cancer & when tested found out that I also had Hashimotos autoimmune Thyroid disease, lyme disease, gluten intolerance & leaky gut. An organic diet, low in sugar & high in good fats along with detox has been essential to my healing. For Lyme Dr Davidson is best, for thyroid Isabelle Wentz is best. For cancer Chris Wark is my favorite. Dr Axe cured his moms cancer after chemo & a reoccurrance. The late Dr Nicholas Gonzales cured hundreds of people of cancer using enzymes & coffee enemas. As Dave Asprey would say, true healing requires us to be bio hackers these days. I use the same brand of organic coffee for my Bulletproof coffee as well as my coffee enemas. I also use probiotics & eat probiotic foods & take a superfood supplement. Hope this helps anyone struggling to regain their health.

  4. Coffee enemas are energizing, that is why I recommend doing them first thing in the AM.

  5. Um, how was coffee enema recorded as far back as 1600 B.C., when coffee itself existed only in South America until only a few hundred years ago? Hmmm…

  6. I did a coffee enema only one time – at night before going to bed. It had the opposite effect of calming and I barely slept that night.

  7. Charcoal chaser .. of course! Great tip, wish I’d thought of it. Starting it today! Here are a couple of others I think enhance the detox effect:

    1. Heat – during the session I apply a jade heating pad to my right side, as warm as is comfortable. It helps dilate the hepatic vessels, stimulate extra blood flow to the area and better liquify any thickened sludge*.

    2. Vibration – I normally spend each 15 min retention time reclining with my right hip on a floor cushion and my right elbow on the platform of my vibration machine, which is set to low frequency and range, rib cage against my arm. A slow, gentle, forward and back rocking motion adds another massaging frequency to the works (I also find it helps to keep the enema solution from traveling up the descending colon too far.) Sometimes I spend one of the two-part infusions very gently rebounding, feet not or barely leaving the mat, but some rebounding after the enema is always good.

    *Consuming anything with suet (kidney/liver fat) is hugely negative, particularly for the liver, as this fat is solid at body temp. It’s usually consumed heated and liquid but it will solidify inside you and that very clogging sludge is the last thing we need anywhere in our plumbing. Muscle fats are liquid at body temp, but not organ fats like beef/lamb suet. Even some pork fat is solid at body temp. Lots of lecithin intake with fat helps to keep it in a soluble, available and well-dispersed form, avoiding sludge.

    Thanks for the great charcoal idea!
