What is the best position for taking an enema?
The best position for enema is to kneel down on the floor with your buttock lifted higher than your head. This way the water goes deeper into your colon due to gravitational force and does more cleansing than in any other position.
In case you are suffering from knee pain or joint pain and can't get down on your knees, you may try left side position. Simply lie down on your left side with your legs straight out and bring your right knee up towards your chest. Now, use your right hand to insert the nozzle into the rectum and let the water flow in.
Furthermore, we recommend that you walk and massage your stomach with your hand in circular motion in the last few minutes of holding the water. This further aids the detox process.
