How long should I hold the water in enema?

We suggest holding the water for about 5-10 mins. Please remember that holding the water for sufficient time is more important than taking in more water. This is because the water needs to stay inside the intestines for sufficient time so that it can dissolve the hard & crusty waste stuck in the intestine walls.

If you are not able to hold the water, reduce the quantity of the water even further. Start with taking only 100ml of water and hold it for 5-10 mins. If this becomes easy, then move on to increasing the quantity of water slowly.
