Colon Cleansing Through Natural Methods

Natural colon cleansing aims to cleanse the bowels, or the colon, and rid the body of harmful toxins.  The natural means of cleansing the colon involves fasting combined with the intake of certain supplements, especially those that target and remove parasites.  These supplements, in addition to killing parasites in the colon, also contain digestive enzymes and probiotics that help stimulate the liver, gallbladder, and the intestines. 

Dietary fiber plays a very important role not only in regulating cholesterol levels, but also in remedying bowel disorders.  Insoluble fiber, particularly, is very effective in stimulating bowel movement by providing mass in the large intestine.  Psyllium, a natural, water-soluble fiber, is often used in colon cleansing procedures.  Psyllium is part of the soluble fiber family, also called mucilage, and is extracted from the husks of blond Psyllium seeds.  When exposed to water, Psyllium swells and forms a thick gel which allows for a smoother flow through the colon.  Psyllium is also very effective at ridding the colon of toxins. 

Aside from fasting, colon cleansing can be done the natural way through special diets, which include raw vegetables and fruits, plenty of water, and juice.  Herbs and supplements are also taken, including flax seeds, bentonite clay, probiotics, and salt water enemas.  Flax seeds expand in the colon after it absorbs water, much like Psyllium, and facilitates the elimination of toxins.  Bentonite clay is a laxative that also assists in the removal of toxins and parasites from the colon. 

Many herbalists recommend flax seeds for natural colon cleansing.  A mixture of one tablespoon of flaxseed and a glass of water should be taken in the morning after waking up and before going to bed.  After intake, you should wait at least thirty minutes before eating any food; it is very important that nothing else is ingested at the same time that you drink the herbal mixture to avoid any complications.  Drinking plenty of water during the entire length of the colon cleansing procedure is very important.  This herbal preparation, as part of a colon cleansing process, should be taken in combination with the proper diet.  Always seek for advice from a professional.
