This position helps the enema solution flow easily into the colon. The solution most commonly used is a mixture of mild soap and warm water, and is known as a soapsuds enema.

Gargling with Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical agent, usually represented chemically as H 2 O 2. It is commonly found in kitchens and bathroom products for the purpose of disinfection. They are also used for clearing off and sanitization of minor cuts.
Q: I recently did a purge of my bathroom medicine cabinet, and came up with 5 bottles of hydrogen peroxide (?!) What do I do with these? Is hydrogen peroxide bad for the environment? Sent by Gail Editor: Well, according to the EPA, hydrogen peroxide breaks down rapidly in the environment to oxygen and water. So... you could leave the caps off for awhile and safely dump them. But since that feels pretty wasteful to us, try using it for a myriad of other things, as greenlivingtips.com suggests, such as sterilizing your toothbrush or killing mold in your bathroom.
