Have you ever contemplated what it would feel like to introduce your morning coffee in a rather unconventional manner? Well, for those curious souls, lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow and her GOOP team have brought this idea to life with the Implant O’Rama at-home coffee enema kit.
Recently, GOOP released its annual detox guide, and among the unusual offerings, the coffee enema stands out. Alongside this, you can find a range of other intriguing products, such as a $68 organic body oil, which claims to enhance your dry brushing ritual—whatever that means. There’s also a $22 mascara, which raises the question of how it contributes to detoxing, and, of course, a luxurious $4,099 sauna for two, because why not?
The Implant O’Rama Coffee Enema Kit
Now, back to the coffee enema. The Implant O’Rama is priced at $135 and includes a glass bottle with a squeeze pump and two silicone catheters. This setup is designed to administer the liquid with a gentle force, supposedly targeting upper areas of the colon.
While colonics have been utilized for years to hydrate and cleanse the colon, the claims surrounding coffee enemas are quite bold. According to the product’s website, these enemas may alleviate depression, confusion, anxiety, allergy symptoms, and even severe pain. However, it’s important to note that the National Institutes of Health states there is no substantial evidence that detox or cleansing programs effectively eliminate toxins from the body or enhance health, and they may come with serious side effects.
If you’re still tempted to try this unconventional method but are apprehensive, the Implant O’Rama website even features a coffee enema song, presumably to help ease your tension during the process. Yes, you read that correctly.
It’s hard not to think that GOOP is poking fun at us, although given their track record, they are likely completely serious. After all, this is simply the next step following their quartz egg for vaginal use. Perhaps it’s best to leave this practice to the professionals—or consider skipping it entirely. Alternatively, you might just want to burn your cash instead; to each their own.
