They can be depending on the reason you are taking them. If it is for occasional constipation then taking an enema can be good for you. You shouldn't take them all the time because you could become dependent on them.
If you are taking them because you've read that you have all this gunk built up inside you over the years and that you need to get it out of you then you are wasting your time and money.
Anyone who has ever had a colonic and watched the monitor as it was being performed, then you know that that isn't the case, nothing is building up inside you, the lining of your intestines is nice and pink. If all that waste was building up inside you you wouldn't be able to absorb nutrients into your body like you are supposed to.
Enjoy your occasional enema but don't overdo it.
Good luck.

Are Enemas Good For You

with all the additives and preservatives and todays diet an enema once a month or so can be very good for you... but never ever more than once a week... if you're still having trouble getting things moving then there may be other issue and you should see a doctor.
if i'm really feeling yucky or having a "fat" day where nothing fits... i'll do one and let it do it's thing and i always feel a lot better.

Enemas are usually not necessary

I'm sure in certain instances they are. I wouldnt be doin them on a regular basis though...then your body will start to count on it and not work to rid itself of the waste, which could be a dangerous thing.

u have to be clearer. it can be good and it can be bad, depending on the situation. if u have to use it one time...may be to relief a week 'stock', then it's good.
but if u mean u r using it daily, regularly, it can be no good as u will alter ur natural routine and become dependant to it.
If u r using for any other reasons...depends...
