THE HISTORY OF THE ENEMA    Although many people may believe that taking enemas to cleanse the colon has been practiced only during the past few centuries in conjunction with the evolution of modern Western medicine, in reality there is a broad and varied recorded history of enema usage dating to ancient times and across cultures from Egypt to China to South America. Historically enemas have been used to treat a wide variety of diseases, disorders, and ailments; in some cases enema use has also been an integral part of religious and ceremonial practices, wherein there is an element not only of physical cleansing, but also spiritual cleansing. As part of her ongoing alternative health research, Optimal Health Network's founder Kristina Amelong has been taking a closer look at historical enema practices. During a recent trip to Guatemala to visit a fair trade farm providing enema coffee to OHN, Kristina also had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating record of enema usage among the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica, including the Mayan civilization.
