According to the Gerson Institute, the primary purpose of a coffee enema is to help remove toxins that accumulate in the liver and reduce free radicals in the bloodstream. Unlike drinking coffee, the bioavailability of caffeine through an enema is about 3.5 times lower, meaning its effects are not simply from caffeine absorption, but from how the compounds interact with the body’s detox pathways.
Some studies and anecdotal evidence suggest coffee enemas may support:
→ Liver cleansing and detoxification
→ Cellular regeneration and repair
→ Improved blood circulation
→ Relief from digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, cramping, and nausea
→ Better gut health through stimulation of bile flow
→ Increased energy and improved mood, including relief from low energy or mild depression
→ Increases antioxidant activity
→ Supports detoxification pathways
→ Used as part of some complementary cancer care programs
→ Provides relief from constipation and digestive discomfort
