Instructions on \”How to do a High Enema\”
(A \”high\” enema means it goes to the beginning of the colon on the right side.)
Supplies:
- Fountain syringe bag (purchase at Drug Store for about $10.00)
- Filtered water
- Enema enhances: herbs, chlorophyll, aloe vera (as recommended by a health practitioner)
Steps to a great experience:
- Fill bathtub 1/4 to 1/2 full of warm water (or cool if you want).
- Hang fountain syringe bag on shower head or and adhesive hook, so tubing can reach down into bathtub.
- Have 1 or 2 – 1 liter glass jars ready with enema solution. (Prepare while bathtub filling.)
To prepare:
- Fill liter glass jar 1/2 full with cool, filtered water.
- Heat up some filtered water on the stove. (Don\’t use hot water from tap.) Add to cool water till reaches body temperature.
- Add Enema Enhancer recommended to you.
- Fill fountain syringe bag 1 liter at a time. (Make sure clamp is closed before filling.)
- Lay in bathtub on back. Open clamp to allow enema solution to just start to flow out; shut clamp. (This ensures no air is in the tubing before inserting rectal catheter.) After lubricating rectal catheter, insert into rectum.
- Open clamp and allow enema solution to enter slowly. Close clamp when feel pressure at rectum. Massage enema solution further up into the colon from left to right.
- Turn on right side. Open clamp again, allow enema solution to enter slowly. Massage colon as solution enters. Close clamp when feel pressure at rectum.
- Stay on side until feel urge to release. After releasing continue refilling colon with enema solution until finished.
- Raise knees above rectum by placing small stool or pillow under our feet while on the toilet. Massaging colon from right to left promotes better releasing when on toilet.
- When finished releasing, rinse fountain syringe bag with water allowing water to drain out tubing. Wash rectal catheter (after removing it from tubing) well with soap and water. Store rectal catheter in a clean container for future use.
- It is a good idea to smell the fountain syringe bag prior to each use to detect any bacterial contamination. If detected, soak in 3-5% hydrogen peroxide for at least 30 minutes. Then rinse well with water. (This can be used as a preventative measure as well.) Antibacterial soap (i.e. Nutribiotic) would also work well. Remember: rinse with lots of water after cleansing the bag.
NOTE: Enemas can be used daily when cleansing or detoxifying and then as needed. It takes a long time to rid the colon of a lifetime of waste! Using oral bulk fiber cleansers etc. will ensure your colon is getting a good workout and increasing its muscle tone, rather than becoming dependent on enemas. Also, increasing whole grains, vegetables & legumes in your diet will increase fiber intake.
Happy Cleansing

This is one of the best blogs!
Great information.
Thanks.
Very well written informative article.
Especially for those who are new to enemas.
Good telling to fill the tub with warm water. I fill the tub about half full of warm water. Put towel in the tub. Makes it comfortable to lay on the towel while getting an enema. Laying in tub of warm water makes the enema so relaxing.
Make absolutely sure the shower rod will hold the weight of the enema bag. Years ago when getting an enema my shower rod gave. I was using a open top enema bag then. Big mess.
I have a cord I now use with the enema bag. Hang the bag from the shower head. Where shower comes out of the wall. I made the cord so it lets the enema bag hang at the proper height.
Giving enema to the child…best to use the bulb syringe instead of the bag. Read the garlic enema blog on here. There is recommendation for when to stop using the bulb syringe and start giving the enemas with the bag instead.
The bulb syringe cost a few dollars. They come in 4, 6 or 8 oz size. Consult with your doctor which is best to use.
I use the 8 oz one for giving enemas.
I give the bulb enema either across my lap way or on a table. If using a table make sure it is sturdy. Never leave the one getting the bulb enema on the table! If need be ask another mom, friend, sitter to assist you.
Talk with your doctor, holistic doctor, before giving an enema.
