How to Do a Coffee Enema

Coffee enemas have been a part of my morning detoxification routine for the past 5 years. Not only has my energy and mental clarity improved, but my skin is clear and my hormones are balanced.

Because coffee enemas are the most effective way to stimulate glutathione in the body, it’s an essential part of detoxing, especially when walking through cancer! Not only have many of my clients and friends seen incredible improvements in their health and a significant reduction in symptoms from cancer treatment, but they have also reported that their liver enzymes came down into the normal range.

I am excited for you to hear from my friend, Gracie Hammer, who shares with us all the details AND instructions on coffee enemas!

Some may think injecting coffee into their colon as a means of detoxing the body is a ridiculous idea.

However, did you know that this has been a detox therapy since the earliest medical text in existence? In fact, the oldest known medical text, The Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, (1,500 B.C.) mentions it, and millennia before, the “Pharaoh had a “guardian of the anus,” a special doctor one of whose purposes was to administer the royal enema.” (If interested, here’s more of this fascinating history lesson from our ancestors.)

I learned of coffee enemas about 5 years ago. I was struggling with horrible migraines and adrenal fatigue. My youngest had just turned 2 and my body was exhausted. I learned that my headaches were indicative of liver congestion, and my adrenal fatigue was the result of not sleeping well, stress from opening a new coffee roasting business, and flat out not taking care of myself.

My family had been eating well, but the years of stress, being pregnant and breastfeeding was definitely taking its toll on my wellness. My new, soon-to-be, best friend and business partner, Season, explained to me that I should try a few new detox therapies as well as a handful of supplements to support my tired body.

Coffee enemas became my new routine 3-5 times a week and quickly my body started to feel alive, my energy came back and the icing on the cake was that my headaches were becoming less frequent. Can I get an amen? My life was changed!

So, what is all this talk about using coffee to detox your liver?

Let’s first talk about detox.

Everyday, we are exposed to environmental toxins, pollutants, preservatives, heavy metals, pesticides and other cancer-causing chemicals. We breathe them in, ingest them or absorb them through the skin through direct contact. These toxins then get stored and trapped in the tissues and cells of our body and can have harmful cancerous, reproductive, metabolic and mental health effects.

Here’s some signs of a toxic overload:

• constipation
• bloating
• gas
• headaches
• fatigue
• pain
• nausea
• belly fat
• skin problems
• food cravings
• low energy
• bad breath
• mood swings

However, by using detoxing therapies we are able to avoid toxic overload before it becomes a major health problem. Not only will detoxing help to reduce the above symptoms, but it will also boost energy, cleanse your body’s filters, aka. “organs,” and remove unwanted toxins from the gut wall and bloodstream, which in turn promotes glowing skin, clarity of mind and so much more.

So, let’s allow the “Royal Enema” to enter the conversation.

As mentioned, coffee enemas have been used for hundreds of years as a generalized detoxification procedure. They stimulate the liver and gallbladder to release stored toxins, as well as, enhance the liver function. And yes, they are safe when done correctly.

The caffeine in the coffee is also not solely responsible for the benefits of the enema. In fact, studies have shown that the bioavailability of the caffeine absorbed from coffee enemas is 4x less than ingesting coffee orally. So, why coffee?

In the 1920’s, German scientists found that a caffeine solution could open the bile ducts and help stimulate the production of bile in the liver. Dr. Max Gerson used this detox clinically as a detoxification regimen for tuberculosis as well as cancer because he found that when caffeine travels up the hemorrhoidal vein to the portal vein, it stimulates the liver to discharge toxins.

Coffee beans are known to naturally contain antioxidants and specific compounds including palmitate, kahweol, theobromine, theophylline and of course caffeine. Not only do all of these compounds positively effect inflammation and improve blood circulation, but the compounds in coffee help to open up the blood vessels. This allows the smooth muscles to relax and have a bowel movement so the body can flush out bacteria, yeast, fungus and heavy metals.

Essentially, coffee enemas can help speed up the detoxification process.

Finally, all coffee is not created equal!

The coffee you should use to do a coffee enema shouldn’t be a dark roast of any kind. In fact, “enema coffee” should be roasted extremely light, leaving it almost green or a very pale color and to maintain the high levels of compounds in the beans. 

I had a really difficult time finding a clean and therapeutic source of enema coffee, so my husband and I created our own through my brand, Beautiful and Clean Living. Our “Upside Down Coffee” is perfectly roasted from organically farmed and harvested coffee beans and sourced from small independent farms and co-operatives. In fact, the beans are grown above 6000ft, and each bean is hand picked and sorted by the farmers who grow them. If interested, click here to purchase.

[UPDATE: Upside Down coffee is no longer available. However, you can purchase enema coffee by S.A. Wilson here.]

Below are the directions on how to do them and hope you enjoy your “Royal Enema.” Happy detoxing!
