Colon cleansing is not a customary health maintenance habit for most people, unlike going to the dentist twice a year, or getting an annual physical exam, or even the very simple routine of flossing everyday.  Not many people are aware that regular colon cleansing is very important in overall health preservation, especially if they do not have any problems with their bowel movements.  However, this unawareness sometimes leads to health problems that require more invasive procedures of cleansing out the colon, instead of the simpler and non-invasive methods.

The human body has a very effective system of eliminating wastes from the body.  It is the primary function of the colon to remove waste matter from the body, as well as retain water and nutrients.  In order to function properly and at its best in eliminating body waste, the body needs plenty of water and a high-fiber diet.  When these essential foods are lacking and, instead, a person is on a diet of fast foods and processed foods, more waste build-up in the colon occurs.  This build-up, in due course, creates a block in the colon which often leads to more serious health problems.

One of the colon cleansing procedures is hydrotherapy.  This procedure irrigates the colon by inserting a small hose into the rectum and flushing out the colon to eliminate blockages.  Hydrotherapy can be undergone twice a year if necessary and there are some advantages to having this procedure on a regular basis.

Hydrotherapy is an excellent method to evacuate the colon and to detoxify the body.  But it is also an effective means to screen for colorectal cancer and to detect ova and parasites.  Because the primary function of the colon is the elimination of wastes, it is very important to have regular colon cleansing to make sure that the colon is free from plaque and other residual matter that may cause blockage and toxin build-up.  In addition, the colon is about five feet long and laxatives are not enough to cleanse out the whole length and effectively remove all the waste build-up.  To effectively and properly unclog the colon, and to maintain overall good health, regular colon cleansing performed by a doctor is a definite must for everyone.
