Effective Coffee Enema Recipe for Detoxification

Though some people do, you will want to stay away from commercial coffees that you may have in your kitchen cabinet because they are not developed for coffee enema use and likely won't be effective. You should choose a special organic, fully caffeinated brew designed specifically for use in enemas. Check out this all natural coffee enema recipe when it comes to decreasing the natural toxins found in your system.

By never using decaffeinated coffee blends (because they are not effective for coffee enema use) and commercial coffee products, you will be much more likely to achieve the results you want. Also, you may need to experiment before you find the organic type of coffee and method that works best for you and provides you with the optimal results.

When it comes to actually preparing the enema, check out this great coffee enema recipe:

  • Eight cups of boiling water
  • Eight cups of boiling water
  • Eight large spoonfuls of ground coffee
  • Eight large spoonfuls of ground coffee
  • French press coffee pot
  • French press coffee pot
  • For the best coffee enema, freshly grind the coffee from beans. This grinding process will ensure your coffee is as fresh as possible and is packed with powerful ingredients to best influence the enema. Using a French press coffee pot will also provide the maximum results as opposed to a traditional drip coffee pot where the water drips over the grounds. This useful device can be found at any kitchen, department, or discount store and purchased inexpensively. The French press combines the ground coffee and the water to ensure you brew a strong mixture for your enema.

    The directions to this coffee enema recipe are quite simple: add boiling water to coffee grounds and let sit. Be sure to let the coffee cool for approximately one hour if not longer to not incur any injuries from using hot liquid as an enema. The coffee should be around room temperature and lukewarm. Test the temperature of the coffee by adding a drop to the inside of your wrist, which is a very sensitive part of your body that can adequately detect temperature.

    Once the coffee mixture is ready, you should use the french press

    to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. It is crucial you do not include the coffee grounds obtained by this coffee enema recipe, since the grounds may cause unnecessary irritation to your gastrointestinal system. Pour this liquid into an enema bag, bucket, or any other tool frequently used for completing the enema process. From this point, you should follow any instructions provided on your enema kit or provided by your physician.

    If you correctly follow this coffee enema recipe, expect the results to properly expel any toxins in your system. Furthermore, correctly following the instructions provided with your enema kit or from your physician will ensure the process is successful.

    Why Shade Grown Espresso Coffee Are The Best

    With coffee's growing popularity, the demand for coffee beans has increased. Most of the coffee consumed worldwide is grown on large farms, otherwise known as plantations, where the land has been cleared for rows and rows of coffee plants. These plants, like other crops, are grown and ripened under the warmth of the sun. However, for those who prefer the bold flavor of espresso and other gourmet coffee drinks, the sun ripened beans are just not suitable. Shade grown espresso coffee beans which take longer to mature seem to be the answer to this problem.

    Coffees grown in different parts of the world have different flavors, and there are about 800 different components to coffee that has an effect on the taste of the finished product, plus sun ripened coffee beans or cherries tend to be bitterer than shade ripened cherries. Espresso shade grown coffee has a flavor that is both full and dark but smooth. Also, this type of coffee blends better with other ingredients, making it the perfect base for lattes and cappuccinos.

    Not only does shade grown coffee have a better flavor, but it is also a more ecologically sound choice. Since most of the land used for the large coffee growers is tropical forest, clearing these lands takes away a vital component in maintaining earth's perfect atmospheric balance. The tropical forests take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen needed to sustain life on this planet. Many argue that by depleting this resource we are contributing to the rise of global warming.

    Since there is no need to clear the land when growing shade ripened coffee plants, they become part of the forest. They provide shelter for smaller animals, such as birds and other tiny creatures. Not to mention, since larger plantations do not find this type of coffee crop economically viable, shade grown plants are normally raised on smaller family owned farms. These farmers are able to sell their crops to companies through Fair Trade sources, thus obtaining proper pricing so that they are able to provide proper support for their families. This helps to boost the economy of an underdeveloped area.

    Another thing to consider is that shade ripened cherries are organically grown, which means that no chemicals were used during the farming process. This is important because fertilizers and pesticides like DDT, which is banned in the US, are still being used on most of the larger plantations located outside this country. Fertilizer and pesticides like DDT have been linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems.

    So the next time you select coffee for your espresso, or even morning cup of regular Joe, try to remember to look for shade grown espresso coffee beans. You are guaranteed to get a better cup of coffee every time. Also, you are making a healthier choice, one without toxic chemicals that can have lasting effects for years to come.

    About Coffee

    Even today there is controversy surrounding coffee as to whether it is good for the health or not and a new study seems to be published each week either defending or condemning this drink. At first coffee beans were sold by pharmacists and then by coffee houses which became popular for revolution and enlightened thinking. As coffee traveled from Constantinople to Venice and then to Vienna and other European capitals it was banned repeatedly. Here coffee was widely consumed by the populous but condemned by the Islamic leaders because of its supposed intoxicating effects. The coffee plant was first cultivated commercially in the Arab world in the fifteenth century.

    Robusta beans have twice the caffeine of Arabica beans but less flavor. The Arabica beans are named for the Arabs who first grew them and are the better of the two. Commercial coffee beans belong to two main groups, Arabica and robusta. When picked coffee beans are green and do not acquire the familiar brown color and intoxicating aroma until they are roasted.

    On the other hand most coffee beans sold in coffee specialty shops are Arabica. Supermarket coffee blends are usually made up of mostly Robusta beans with a few Arabica to add some flavor.

    Today the word Mocha has come to mean a flavor combination of coffee and chocolate, but actually has nothing to do with Mocha beans which are rare and expensive. Named after the Yemeni Port from which the coffee was once shipped to the rest of the world. The prized of these are the true Mochas. Africa, the birthplace of coffee still grow coffee with wild flowers that coffee lovers prize. But there is a small amount grown in the Hawaiian Islands and some in Yemen on the Red Sea. Africa, Indonesia and Central and South America are the three main regions where coffee is grown.

    This coffee is almost impossible to find in America as the Japanese buy almost all the tiny annual production and if it can be found it is extremely expensive. Coffee produced in Central America (particularly Guatemala and Costa Rica) are of real interest to coffee connoisseurs because many of the beans from these regions offer the balance and smoothness that made Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee legendary. Many good coffees also come from the island of Papua New Guinea. Indonesian coffees are popular for their body and earthy flavor. Another favorite, Africa Coffee is from Kenya, a country that produces many superlative beans.

    One third of the coffee drunk worldwide is grown in Brazil but almost none of it is of any interest to coffee connoisseurs.

    Colombia has put money and research into its coffee industry but unfortunately its beans are rarely exceptional.

    If you prefer a flavored coffee a better idea is to brew good coffee from unflavored beans and dose it modestly with one or more of the flavoring essences that can be purchased at many gourmet shops. If these flavored beans are ground at home they will impart their flavors, possibly forever, on to your grinder and brewing apparatus. The flavored coffees that are becoming increasingly popular are usually based on bland, mediocre beans that are stirred with chemical flavoring essences after roasting.

    Coffee

    What is this dark-colored substance made of and why can't some people survive a day without having even just one sip of this stimulant? Nothing perks up a lazy morning like coffee.

    The perceived benefits and hazards of this potent drink remain the subject of debate among coffee drinkers worldwide. Considered the second-most traded commodity in the world, next to petroleum, it is hailed as modern man's chief source of caffeine for that extra burst of energy. Coffee, normally taken hot, is made from the coffee plant's roasted seeds, called coffee beans.

    It came to England in 1598, via the Italian "caffe." The Turkish term for it is "qahwa." Its origin is still unknown, although some believe that the drink possibly came from the Kaffa region in Ethopia, where the plant originally named "bunna," the precursor of coffee, came from. The term "coffee" is known by many names among various peoples of the world. How did the word "coffee" come into being?

    From then on, owing to the pioneering efforts of the British and Dutch East India companies, coffee found its way to Europe in the sixteenth century. Due to coffee's immense popularity, the law was made obsolete soon after. Did you know that coffee drinking was outlawed in Mecca in 1511, and in Cairo in 1532?

    Thus, it is used as an inexpensive substitute for Arabica in commercial coffee blends and in almost all instant coffee products. However, the later is proven to be a natural insecticide and stimulant, growing in places where the former cannot grow. Although Arabica is more prone to disease, coffee lovers consider it to be more flavorful than "coffea canephora" (robusta), which holds twice as much caffeine. One of the two main species of the coffee plant is "Coffea Arabica," its name implying that its origin was the Arabian Peninsula, but it is indigenous in Ethiopia.

    Compared to Arabica, robusta is more bitter, with a burnt-rubber smell and taste. Robusta of finer quality are used in espresso blends for a foamy effect and for better affordability. In fact, Italian espresso blends are made from dark-roasted Robusta.

    Some blend varieties are so popular and in demand that they command a higher price, examples of which are the Jamaican Blue Mountain and the Hawaiian Kona coffees. Often, these beans are mixed with other, less-expensive varieties and the term blend is added to the label, such as "Blue Mountain Blend" or "Kona Blend".

    So beat those morning blues with an adrenaline-pumping sip of this favorite drink among caffeine addicts worldwide.

    blue mountain jamaican coffee

    Besides making incredible brewed coffee, the Blue Mountain coffee comes from the mountains of Jamaica.  Blue Mountain coffee comes from the mountains of Jamaica.  Blue Mountain coffee bean is used as a base for the famous Tia Maria coffee liqueur. Over time, it has become the most expensive coffee in the world, and the most sought after. Besides making incredible brewed coffee, the Blue Mountain coffee is known for its mildness and a distinct lack of bitterness. Over time, it has become the most expensive coffee in the world, and the most sought after. Blue Mountain coffee comes from the mountains of Jamaica.  Blue Mountain coffee is known for its mildness and a distinct lack of bitterness. Coffee beans were first brought to Jamaica in 1728 by the Governor, Sir Nicholas Lawes. The soil is rich and drains well… an ideal situation in which to grow coffee. Rising to an impressive height of 7,402 feet, the climate is cool and misty, and gets a lot of rainfall. The Blue Mountains of Jamaica are located between Kingston and Port Maria. Before exporting, the coffee is checked for appearance, and some is taste tested to insure quality. Aging improves consistency among the beans. Only a very few countries besides Jamaica allow the coffee beans to age at least six weeks. Next, the beans go through a sorting process. The beans are then dried and cured for at least twenty weeks. Once the beans are harvested, they are pulped and washed. As with other varieties of coffee around the world, there are several different grades of Blue Mountain coffee. For Grade 1, which is the best quality, 96% of the beans must fit a 17/20 screen size. No more than 2% of the coffee beans can have significant defects. For Grade 2, 96% of the beans must fit a 16/17 screen size. No more than 2% of the beans may have any significant defects. There is also a Grade 3, a Blue Mountain peaberry, and a Blue Mountain Triage, which is a combination of the top three grades. There is quite a lot of interesting trivia about Blue Mountain coffee. Many commercial coffee blends add a bit of Blue Mountain coffee to enrich the quality of their blend. Due to the strength of the Blue Mountain coffee beans, more cups of coffee can be made for the money. And even James Bond loves Blue Mountain coffee. The author of the James Bond series, Ian Fleming, lived in Jamaica for a part of every year. In his book, “Live and Let Die,” he has James Bond sitting to breakfast declaring, “Blue Mountain coffee, the most delicious in the world…” In 1988, Jamaica lost a great deal of its coffee industry, due to damage from Hurricane Gilbert. It is just recently that production has been restored to previous levels for this unique coffee. They invest a lot into the coffee industry, and they import approximately 80% of the Blue Mountain coffee is sweet, smooth and mellow… all in all, an excellent cup of coffee. Out of all the coffee lovers in the world, Japan is the largest importer of Blue Mountain coffee.
