Ene-whats!?
With all the information coming out about how important our GI tract is to our health, I wanted to know all the ins and outs about – everything! Well, enemas falls into this category and my friend Jillian shares with us how to do an enema, why they are so beneficial, and all the different types.
Yup, I have a lot to learn about this subject. For example, did you know that enemas were so popular at the court of King Louis XIV of France that the duchess of Burgundy had her servant give her an enema in front of the King (her modesty being preserved by an adequate posture) before going to the comedy.To read more, click here.

Your podcast regarding enemas was quite interesting. Colon cleansing has been around for a long time. Our moms and grandmas often used enemas as a cure all for many maladies. They seemed to understand something that this latest generation was slow to adopt. An enema was a quick solution to many digestive issues and using chemical laxatives was unnecessary.
While most cringe at the thought of an enema, once the initial hesitancy is past, they can be quite relaxing and leave one quite refreshed. Colonics are also a pleasant indulgence now and then.
Thanks for covering this topic!
