In a water enema (or a coffee enema) I add 1 heaping tablespoon of organic catnip.  For the CE, I simply add the catnip and 'brew as usual' (cover, bring to a boil, let simmer 15 minutes and then cool/strain).

I'd do a catnip/water enema the same way.

Typically, catnip in an enema is used to relax the lower colon and make the enema easier to retain.  It's also a way to 'administer' catnip if someone can't ingest it.

Thin stools don't indicate 'spastic colon'.  Thin stools indicate that the colon is seriously impacted and layered with mucoid plague and that the 'pathway' throughout the colon is substantially narrowed.  After doing a colonic or other 'colon therapy, it would take awhile for the amount of fecal matter to 'build up' back to the point that a larger volume of fecal matter would 'push through' in a bowel movement, or it would 'loosen up' fecal matter and it allow it flow-through in greater quantity.  Either way, you'd see more frequent, thin stools.

There are two types of "constipation"...

--the one we normally envision; infrequent stools that are hard/dry and usually difficult to expel.

--thin stools that are more frequent than with typical 'constipation' (even to the point of causing IBS, colitis, and 'spastic colon' symptoms).  This is due to the narrowing of the passageway in the tubing (possibly combined with major crimps, twists and diverticuli).  The chyme (applause-like consistency) drops into the ascending colon, and as it makes it's way around the 'colon horseshoe' the water is assimilated (90+% of ALL water that is assimilated into our body, is assimilated during this process), and the fecal matter becomes more solid-ish.  What we should see in the toilet is very large 'custard like' semi-formed fecal matter.  'thin & formed' always indicates constriction, impaction and a narrowing of the internal diameter of the lower colon.

Here's a thread/post for your 'must read' list -(lots of good pictures! :::grin:::) How poopy is made :) +Edit/addition +reason to juice Re: Thin stools    RRR by unyquity

How "much" should each bowel movement yield?  It's amazing how 'too small' our bms really are.  Most of us that don't have children of our own, have babysitted and changed at least a few diapers.  A 'loaded diaper' of a 9-10 month old is just 'crazy huge' in volume, yet as adults (10x their size) are bowel movements yield...LESS volume?  Oh yeah, our colons are a mess...and that mess is the foundation of every health issue we have.
