Will I get dependent on enema?

No, as long you do it in the right frequency and right quantity. 

We recommend that once you start following the satvic lifestyle, take enema once every day for 21 days (take only 200ml of water at a time). This is to ensure a master cleanse of the intestines to get rid of all the waste that has accumulated inside over a lifetime of wrong food and lifestyle. This should be only a one-time cleanse. After 21 days, do not take it everyday. Take it only once a week (to ensure that if any toxins start getting accumulated, they are immediately flushed out of the body).

Also, if you are suffering from an acute disease or detox symptom (cold, cough, fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea, inflammation), take enema twice everyday to aid the praanshakti in its cleansing work. 

Moreover, we don’t get used to enema. We are more likely to get used to oral laxatives consumed from the mouth - like isabgol or triphala.  

Enema is not something new. It has been taught since ages (in yoga, it’s called basti). Even Jesus Christ recommended it in Essene Gospel of Peace. It’s been practised since thousands of years because our ancestors all gave importance to cleansing the colon. They understand that every disease starts in the intestines.
