Colon Cleansing With Herbs

When you're not getting enough fiber in your diet, then your colon is
probably suffering from being clogged with hard and dried solid waste
products which aren't able to move out of your system quickly enough.
When these waste products back up in your colon, you are at much
higher risks of having health problems, because the toxins and
bacteria which are in that waste are supposed to be moved out of your
body through your bowel movements... and they're just sitting there
leaking back into your body instead.

This is why colon cleansing is so important to your overall health and
wellness. By making sure the colon is clean and clear of old waste
deposits, your body is not being poisoned by the bacteria and toxins
which is carried within that waste.

The best natural and gentle way to clean your colon is to change the
foods you eat. Eating plenty of extra fiber from fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains will help you have more regular and frequent bowel
movements, and this in turn will clear the old wastes from your colon.

If you're not able to eat enough extra fiber in your diet though,
there are some herbal supplements which work quite well to help
cleanse your colon too. The best single herbal supplements to use for
cleansing your colon will also help cleanse your liver at the same
time. And this is extremely useful to your body, because it will allow
the liver to function more effectively at removing toxins and bacteria
from your body.

Slippery Elm is an excellent single herbal source to use for helping
cleanse your colon. This herb will normalize the stools in your colon,
so if you have a backlog of dried waste that is not moving well, this
herb will help soften it. If you have diarhhea however, this herb will
also help make that more solid too.

Dandelion is another excellent herb to use for cleansing your colon
naturally, and it's also wonderful for cleansing the liver at the same
time.

There are also various herbal laxatives you may want to try, to help
cleanse the colon more quickly without harmful side effects. You'll
find some specific herbal laxative suggestions at the link below.

One other thing you may want to use for herbal colon cleansing, is a
supplement mixture. These mixtures are special formulas which combine
multiple herbal sources to give you the best all around natural and
gentle approach to colon cleansing. You'll find more information and
recommendations for that at amoh.org.
