Enemas as a Sacred Act: A Ritual of Cleansing, Release, and Renewal

When we think of an enema, most people picture a clinical procedure meant only for constipation or medical preparation. Yet, in truth, it can be so much more than that. It is a practice that, when approached with mindfulness and intention, becomes a sacred act of cleansing, release and renewal.

Beyond its physical benefits of detoxifying the colon and supporting liver function, an enema can serve as a spiritual ritual – an opportunity to let go of stagnant energy, emotional heaviness and even old patterns that no longer serve us.

In my personal journey, enemas have become a way to honor my body as a temple, to align with the cycles of nature such as the full moon, and to deepen my connection with self-care and plant medicine work.

Over the years of cleansing, teaching, and guiding others, I have come to see enemas as one of the most powerful tools for healing. Not just because they work physically, but because they invite us into presence.

For me, enemas are not a clinical chore. They are a sacred act. I prepare them with intention, using mountain spring water from our farm in Montagu, carefully chosen herbs and natural ingredients and a prayer of blessing.

I time many of my enemas with the moon cycles, especially around the full moon, when parasites are most active in the body. This is when I do my parasite cleansing protocols with remedies like:

• Flax and clove mixture

• Wormwood

• Castor oil

• Or other natural parasite cleanses I teach in my online integration course

A few days after the full moon, once the parasites have been weakened or killed, I use enemas to flush them out of my system. Because killing them is only half the work – you must release them, otherwise their toxic waste stays inside you .

I often rotate or combine ingredients, each chosen for their unique properties:

• Organic Coffee – stimulates the liver, boosts bile flow, increases glutathione (the body’s master detoxifier)

• Organic Green Tea – high in antioxidants, supports gentle cleansing, calms inflammation

• Liquid Probiotics – help repopulate beneficial gut bacteria

• Activated Charcoal – binds to toxins, heavy metals, and parasite die-off waste for safe elimination

• Vitamin C Powder – boosts immunity, alkalizes, and helps neutralize toxins

• Turmeric – anti-inflammatory, supports liver and digestive health

• Good Quality Salt (Himalayan, Celtic, or Oryx) – provides essential electrolytes and minerals, balances hydration

Note: The actual quantities of these ingredients are very important. The goal is not to add too much, as this can aggravate the bowel. An enema should always be gentle and supportive. Dosages also depend on each individual’s constitution and sensitivity. Please be mindful about both the ingredients you choose and the amounts you use.

1. Prepare the Space

• Cleanse the bathroom with Palo Santo or sage

• Lay down a comfortable blanket and pillow

• Light a candle and incense to set the tone

2. Bless the Water & Ingredients

• Give thanks to the water, herbs, and earth for their healing power

• Speak an intention: “As I cleanse my body, I cleanse my spirit. As I release, I make space for light.”

3. Administer the Enema Mindfully

• Use a comfortable, durable enema bag (I’ve sourced the best for my shop, designed for comfort and longevity)

• Massage your abdomen gently, helping the liquid reach deeper parts of the colon

• Breathe deeply and stay present with your body

4. The Release

• After about 15–20 minutes, release fully

• Be mindful of what you are letting go of, both physically and symbolically

5. Aftercare

• Take a warm shower, seeing it as a second layer of purification

• Cleanse the space again with Palo Santo

• Rest and hydrate with mineral-rich water, coconut water, broth, or juice

For those walking the path of plant medicine, enemas are especially powerful. They help keep the system clean and optimized, so the body is a clear vessel—a channel for spiritual work.

By syncing enemas with moon cycles, you align with natural rhythms. The full moon is when parasites are most active; the waning moon is when the body is most ready to release.

This rhythm connects enemas to something far greater: the cosmic cycles that govern life itself.

I teach these practices in depth in my online integration course, and I also offer personal guidance for those who wish to explore enemas and parasite cleansing in a safe, supported way.

I’ve also sourced a comfortable, durable enema bag which is available in my shop. I can guide you with recipes and combinations, and share some additional medicines not listed online yet.

1. How often should I do an enema?

It depends on your protocol. During deep cleanses, 1–3 per week may be supportive. For maintenance, once or twice a month can help keep your system clear.

2. Can enemas remove parasites?

Yes—especially when combined with natural parasite remedies. Enemas help flush out dead parasites, eggs, and toxic waste after treatments .

3. What’s the difference between a coffee enema and a water enema?

Water enemas are simple colon flushes. Coffee enemas stimulate liver detoxification and glutathione production, providing deeper cleansing.

4. Can I add herbs or supplements to my enema?

Yes—ingredients like probiotics, activated charcoal, turmeric, and mineral salts can be added for additional benefits. Always use high-quality, pure ingredients.

5. How do enemas support spiritual practice?

By cleansing the body, you cleanse your emotional and spiritual field. Many find enemas help them feel clearer, lighter, and more connected to their inner wisdom and plant medicine journeys.

6. What is White Sage?

White Sage is an herb held sacred by Native Americans for hundreds of years. It has been used in rituals and ceremonies for centuries. Smudging is a cleansing ceremony used to help people, places or even objects get rid of negative energy or even bad spirits. It also cleans the air of bacteria.

7. What is Palo Santo?

A Palo Santo sticks are made from a sacred wood in South America. When burned, the smoke is believed to have both medicinal and therapeutic healing power.

It is one of the most fragrant woods in the world which is traditionally burned by Icas, Shamans and medicine people for spiritual purifying, energy cleaning and healing.

It provides energetic protection, removes bad energy, up lifts your spirit an fills your hone with blessings.

8. How do I smudge?

First place your intention (what you wish to achieve). Light your sage or Palo Santo stick over your flame proof bowl or shell until a small flame has caught, then blow out until there is smoke. Walk around your home / bathroom clockwise. Carefully using your hands or a feather to waft the smoke into all areas of your space. Once you are done you can leave it to smolder out on its own or gently brush the stick on a fire proof surface.

Enemas are not just about flushing the colon. When held with intention, they are about releasing the old, honoring your body as a temple, and creating space for renewal.

Whether timed with the full moon, integrated into parasite cleansing, or used as part of your plant medicine path, enemas can be one of the most profound practices of self-care.

So next time you prepare your enema, I invite you to see it not as a medical task, but as a sacred ceremony—a chance to cleanse, release, and remember the light that you truly are.
