Must Try at Home Enema Recipes
When it comes to enema, there are a lot of options available in the drugstore. But along with that, there are a lot of at home enema recipes which are just as effective and very easy to prepare. Below we have mentioned our best four at home enema recipes you must try.
1. Olive oil- Olive oil relieves constipation by softening the hardened stool. It coats the intestinal walls and prevents excessive absorption of water from the stool, thus preventing it from hardening. It also softens the hardened stool and allows it to move out through the anal canal easily.

· Enema kit- 1
Directions:
· Heat the water until it reaches 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
· Add the olive oil to this heated water and combine well.

· Follow up the olive oil enema with a plain water enema so as to get rid of any residual oil.
2. Epsom salt- Detoxification of the liver is of utmost importance for the proper functioning of the liver. Epsom is nothing but magnesium sulfate which helps in cleansing the liver and colon of any toxins.
