ENEMA

Also known as ‘Rectal Irrigation,’ it is a cleansing procedure of the rectum & a small portion of the colon. At Cauvery Nature Cure Centre, guests are treated with customized cleansing procedures based on their complaints. There are different types of enemas based on the temperature (Cold, Neutral & Hot) and the material used (Water, Oil, Buttermilk, Herbal, Epsom salt, etc.). Since elimination is one of the important cleansing (therapeutic) aspects in Naturopathy, enema is one such therapy that helps in maintaining one route of elimination in your body. Enemas work by releasing the liquid into the colon and large intestine via a tube inserted into the anus. They are also used to relieve constipation sometimes when other measures like laxatives or dietary measures aren’t working. In case you’ve never heard about the use of an enema, you’re in the right place. An enema is a procedure that stimulates stool evacuation and relieves constipation. It’s a liquid treatment that conveniently helps push waste out of the colon, with your body reaping many benefits in the process. The average person has almost 5 kgs, if not more, of waste inside their large intestine, so periodically including enemas in your routine can be advantageous to your health. They are especially helpful to those individuals who do not have at least one regular bowel movement per day. A cold water enema is helpful in inflammatory conditions of the colon, especially in cases of dysentery, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhoids, and fever. A hot water enema is beneficial in relieving irritation due to inflammation of the rectum and painful hemorrhoids. It also benefits women with leucorrhoea.
