Quick Read
Enemas and colonics are both methods of colon cleansing, but they differ in scope and administration.
Enemas cleanse the lower colon and can be done at home, while colonics cleanse the entire colon and are performed by a professional.
Enemas involve smaller amounts of liquid (1-2 liters) and various types (coffee, essential oil, Celtic sea salt), each with specific benefits.
Colonics use larger amounts of water (up to 60 liters) and may offer benefits like improved digestion and increased energy, but also carry risks like electrolyte imbalance.
Consult a healthcare provider before starting regular enemas or colonics, and consider using a natural binder afterward.
