Coffee enemas for gut and brain health
(c) PeterSmithUK
Coffee enemas can help heal the gut, gut-brain axis and deliver.Coffee enemas raise glutathione levels
They raise glutathione levels (the main natural antioxidant in the liver and brain) in the liver significantly more than just drinking coffee. Glutathione stimulates detoxification in the liver and brain, it is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, raising glutathione levels is a key to improving and maintaining good health. Absorbing coffee through the large intestines boosts glutathione-s-transferase enzyme by up to 700%; this enzyme a major part of the liver’s detoxification system.The liver has an enormous blood supply, the entire blood volume of the whole body circulates through the liver every 3 minutes! So during a 12-15 minutes coffee enema all the blood in your body circulates through your liver 4 to 5 times while your liver detoxification enzymes are more active.
When we take coffee via an enema as opposed to drinking it we absorb 3-5 times less caffeine and so we can take a much higher quantity of coffee in an enema to deliver much higher levels of glutathione compared to drinking coffee. In a coffee enema you can use 3 heaped tablespoons of ground coffee to make a litre of coffee, most people would not be able to handle the quantity of caffeine contained in this amount of coffee if they drank it.
Coffee enemas stimulate the vagus nerve
In addition to raising glutathione levels stimulate the vagus nerve and this has an independent anti-inflammatory effect. A lack of activity in the vagus nerve has been identified as a source of inflammation and factor contributing to depression, anxiety bipolar and other mental health problems.Stimulating the vagus nerve is the same thing as dampening down overactivity in the fight flight or freeze branch of the nervous system and activating the relaxation, digestion and regeneration branch of the nervous system; the vagus nerve is the largest single nerve in the relaxation, digestion and relaxation branch.
The vagus nerve exerts control over the movement of food through the intestines, releasing digestive enzymes, how we breathe, the rate of a heartbeat and it has some influence over the level of inflammation our immune system is producing.
Indications that you may have under activity in your vagus nerve include:
- difficulty digesting food
- bloating especially bloating after eating
- constipation or irregular bowel movements
- difficulty swallowing large mouthfuls of food or supplements
Chronic digestive health problems can cause such elevated levels of inflammation in the body and brain that they put your brain health at risk and you should take them seriously. A particularly bad sign is experiencing a foggy brain after eating, this may indicate that you have both a leaky gut allowing half digestive food molecules and bacteria to legality intestines into the bloodstream triggering the immune system and also that you have developed a leaky blood-brain barrier now allowing half digestive food and possibly even bacteria to enter the brain and activate the brains immune system; this is happening to you I recommend restoring your gut health and gut brain axis as quickly as possible.
Coffee enemas stimulate bile release and liver detoxification
Caffeine in coffee stimulates cholinergic receptors that cause the gallbladder to contract, releasing liver metabolism end-products into the bowels for elimination.Coffee enemas help to detoxify the intestines without causing dependency
I’ve used coffee enemas daily sometimes even twice daily for several months at a time when undergoing intensive detoxification programs and rather than causing dependency on them to move my intestines what I found was that help to restore healthy bowel motions, especially when combined with herbal formulas that stimulate peristalsis and healthy gut motility.See How to Do Coffee Enemas
