H Brenda. Sometimes I used a mini enema an ounce or two of glycerin and some olive oli or suppository. Then I rest for a few minutes and then I take 2 quarts all at ounce after I use an ounce of peppermint castile soap in 2 quarts of water.. This will cause enough of a contraction to make sure the water leaves all at once... The soap does cramp a bit until everything is out, but it feels good though. They are lower cramps and only for a short time.. I like the menthol feeling coming out... I do this about once a week.. The soap ensures the deepest cleanse.
