It can be difficult, to answer the question of how to cleanse one's
colon , because of all the information on colon cleansers being
bombarded in the media. Each of the colon cleansing treatments claim to
be the only solution to your problem.
Why is colon cleansing important? Your colon is designed to get rid of waste and toxins from your body. Its other main function is to provide you with the adequate amount of nutrients that your body requires. A slow colon or an unhealthy colon can not function. Toxins and waste begin to accumulate. You do not get the sufficient amount of nutrients that you need. You start to feel tired, irregular, bloated and constipated.
Choosing the right cleansing treatment plan is a matter of trial and error. Each method works differently.
The options available to you are: colonics or colon hydrotherapy, enema, laxatives, herbal colon cleansers and oxygen based colon cleansers.
Colonics or colon hydrotherapy has to be done in a clinic and administered by trained colon hydro therapist. The main idea is to have repetitive flushing of your colon. This procedure requires the insertion of tubes into your rectum which are in turn connected to colon irrigation machines. It is expensive.
Enemas are the same idea as a colonic. There is only a single flush. It is done in the privacy of your bathroom. Enema kits can be purchased at any drugstore. It is self administered. It may be difficult for some people to do this procedure on thier own.
Herbal colon cleansers are products which combine digestive stimulant herbs in capsule, liquid or powder form. The cleansing treatment usually lasts for a certain period of time.Herbs have been used for centuries in the far east to treat digestive problems. You should read the label of the product very carefully. Avoid cleansers which contain artiicial additives. Everything in the cleanser should be organic and natural. Learn what side effects the products may have.
Oxygen based colon cleansers do not use herbs. It comes in either capsule or powder. A chemical reaction allows oxygen to be released and loosen build up feces and toxins for elimination.
Laxatives are synthetic. They contain chemical additives. They offer immediate relief from constipation but do not perform a cleansing function to the colon
All colon cleansing treatments have side effects. You should consult your doctor before attempting a colon cleanse.
The purpose of a colon cleanse is to put you on the right path. If you do not follow the procedure with a healthy diet and exercise program, you have wasted your time and money.
