My doctor informed my mother by telephone to prepare an enema for me. I grew up when you did and enemas were a prescription for most of what ailed us. They seem to go in and out of favor.

Times are changing back as I have been sent by the doctor who employs me at least once a month to help a mother administer an enema to her child, as well as to help the elderly who are unable to prepare an enema for themselves. Mostly the doctor stays available for what is more complex in treatment.

I work part time in a health food store.
Mothers ask if we sell the enema bulb syringe. They ask many questions.
We are always helpful.

The enema seems to be coming back in favor as a home remedy given by mothers.
Some say this is due to the popularity of the coffee enema now. The CE is a great way to detox the liver.

After asking for the coffee and the enema bucket, the next most popular item asked for is the enema bulb syringe.

Great that the enema is given and the over the counter junk, laxatives, and other such things are given by less and less.

Carol A...I've seen many of your messages here and elsewhere. You seem to have many great suggestions and perspectives relative to this simple procedure and pleasure. There are others as well, but those who are about our vintage
(age) seem to have significant
1st hand knowledge and experience.

I've encouraged others to join some other sites where direct communication is possible. I'd love to discuss more with you!

My pediatrician loves to prescribe enemas over the phone and I can so relate to his calls. I have gotten to the point of not calling him, giving my son an enema, if he is still unwell after a couple of hours, then I call with the news he's had his enema, now what? With my doctors, enemas are in again.

Incredible, I grew up with a mother who believed enemas cured everything. In fact every other Sunday she gave me an enema growing up. Now, I am a true believer in enemas.

Growing up in a small town in the 50s I remember the same.
A trip to the doctor was not often.
My aunt was a nurse then. I remember her giving one of us an enema. Seemed like one of us or my cousin was being given an enema by her.

Like you if things were not better, she would call her nurse friend at the doctors office.
