First off lets not confuse a disposable on time enema with a real enema as they are only clearing the rectum. A large volume enema would involve a person taking 1-2 quarts or more (some have boasted about doing 4 qts or more but they are exceptions). Larger volume means the water is reaching further into the colon, Once you have taken the entire bag you would retain it for a period of time and then get up and evacuate on the toilet. For most people this is the finish of an enema.
For those wanting a more thorough clean-out they may repeat this 2 to 4 times. So if you had taken 4 2 quart enemas you have processed 8 quarts of solution. Some may be retained and later passed in urine as your body may absorb some of the water.
With a colonic, it must be administered by a trained professional in their facility. The therapist would insert a disposable speculum in your anus and begin filling your system. At some point they would stop the flow in and then another clear tube allows the water to come back out. There is no odor and the therapist looks at the tubing to determine how well the colonic is clearing your colon. They repeat this process and each time the water would reach further into your colon and then drain. By the time you were finished they could have processed about 5 gallons of solution through your colon and the returns would be clear.
An enema bag can be purchased starting at $5 and they are reusable (rinse thoroughly after use and do not share) whereas a colonic session costs start around $65 per session and some exceed $100 per session. Some colonic therapists offer packages of multiple sessions for a discount.
colonic-air
Enema-water
Both essentially clean your bowels.
one costs more and the other one hurts more
A colonic wil remove bulit up stool pockets deep within the colon. The doctor will insert a tube into your rectum and run water through it to loosen the stool. It is quite uncomfortable. An enema will clear out what is in the lower part of your bowels. It is relatively painless and works very quickly.
None – you dont’ "need" either one. Your anus is a one way exit on the highway of life…..
About 60 bucks!
