DISCOVER HOW TO HEAL
Enemas were the first line of treatment for many disorders for thousands of
years, both in Ayurveda and western medicine. Useful for both cleansing and
nurturing, an enema restores calm and function of all bodily organs by eliminating
toxins, thus purifying the blood. Enemas were common in western medicine until
the 1950s. Following a few simple guidelines given by your practitioner, home
enemas can be highly effective, safe, and easy.
There are many, many types of enemas in Ayurveda. The two main types are oil and decoction enemas. Oil enemas are used for nourishing and decoction enemas are used for cleansing. Some Ayurvedic clinicians base their entire clinical practice on enema therapy. Enemas are particularly helpful for intestinal and nervous system disorders. They cleanse Vata from the body, colon and cecum, while soothing the nervous system. They also encourage the smooth and easy downward flow of fecal matter out of the lower small intestine, can kill parasites, and nourish bodily fluids and electrolytes. If you've never tried enema, it's time to learn this time-honored useful skill, both for you and your family. The best way to start is with Joyful Belly's Enema Kit.

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
