Though traditional and colonic enemas both provide health benefits, including detoxification, improved digestion, and weight loss, they still differ from each other. Many people aren’t sure how to determine which option is right for them. The following guide outlines everything you need to know about these processes and how they can affect your health.

Traditional Enema

A traditional enema is done with an at-home kit. This process involves taking water in through the rectum to cleanse the lower colon. The water must then be held in the colon, usually for 5 to 20 minutes, after which it can be expelled.

Though this process offers health benefits, including the prevention of various health issues that arise from waste buildup in the colon, it can be uncomfortable for many individuals to retain water for that period of time. Self-administering the treatment can also be challenging.

Colonic Enema

A colonic enema is also commonly known as colon hydrotherapy. Many people find the process to be more soothing and far more convenient than the traditional method because a trained professional performs the procedure. A hydrotherapist will insert a tube with filtered water into the rectum. A second tube is also inserted to carry away waste and send it directly to the septic system.

With this technique, water can travel further into the colon, so it is much more thorough. The water can also permeate the folds of the organ, which ensures that as much waste as possible is removed. This process also stimulates the colon’s muscle action, strengthening it.
