Enemas can be self adminstered and kits which can be obtained from wholistic health specialists online, are inexpensive allowing the healthy practice of maintaining inner hygeine and colon cleansing to be carried out at home, or by taking your kit with you, as you travel. Enemas are used as an option for cleansing the colon on healing and detox retreats where there is no colon irrigation system installed.
