If you’re not already using coffee enemas to detox, you may want to add it into your program. Coffee enemas can play a vital role in any detox program.

This detoxification method has been used as part of the famous Gerson Therapy by the Gerson Institute since the 1930s. In fact, it’s the therapy’s primary method of detoxification of the tissues in the blood, and cancer patients on the therapy have up to five coffee enemas per day.

“The moment a patient is put on the full therapy, the combined effect of the food, the juices and the medication causes the immune system to attack and kill tumor tissue, besides working to flush out accumulated toxins from the body tissues. This great clearing-out procedure carries the risk of overburdening and poisoning the liver—the all-important organ of detoxification, which, in a cancer patient, is bound to be already damaged and debilitated,” said Max Gerson about the therapy, according to the Gerson Institute.

The coffee enema does is a crucial component of what Gerson is talking about, cleansing the liver and eliminating toxins.

But how does it help?

Here are three ways coffee enemas can help you detox:

Removes toxins

In a general way, the liver is like the vacuum cleaner of the bloodstream. It filters out toxins in the blood, collecting everything that doesn’t belong. But those toxins can build up, wreaking havoc on the system. Coffee enemas help remove the toxins that have accumulated in the liver.

The Gerson Institute notes that way back in the 1920s, a study found that caffeine in rats helped open up bile ducts, releasing bile, increasing bile flow and eliminating toxins from the body.

Kills free radicals

“Free radicals” are cells within the body that are damaged. Missing a molecule, they rob other molecules in the body to make up for their missing part. But they injure other cells in the process, creating a breeding ground for disease.

Detox programs that include a coffee enema help to prevent that process. Doctors at the University of Minnesota found that free radicals are destroyed in the bloodstream when a patient receives a coffee enema. “The enema acts as a form of dialysis of the blood across the gut wall,” according to the Gerson Institute.

Stimulates peristalsis

Not only does this detox method rid toxins and free radicals, it boost the natural peristalsis of the gut. Peristalsis is the wave of contraction and relaxation of the tubular muscular system. It’s how food is moved through the digestive system, how urine is passed from the kidney to the bladder and how bile is passed from the gallbladder to small intestine.

Overall, coffee enemas can increase cell production, boost tissue health, improve blood flow and assist the immune system.
