With the rise in number of people who have a digestive
disorder, and the increased number of people being diagnosed
with colon cancer on a yearly basis, it is not surprising that
more people want to try out a colon cleanse for themselves.
So, where should you start? I suggest a gentle cleanse for the
colon initially to gauge the results that you have.
There are a number of different approaches to cleansing the
colon, and each has its own process. Some of them tend to be
carried out by a trained individual at a spa or clinic, and
others can be carried out at home.
Let's have a look at some of the options, considering both the
good and the bad:
Colonic hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation) – This procedure is
normally carried out at a spa or clinic and it is practised by
trained staff. The process involves the insertion of a tube
into the colon and liquid is then used to flush away any waste
material that may be present.
It is a painless process, and one session can clean the whole
colon.
The issue that people sometimes struggle to be happy about with
this procedure is that it requires a third party to be involved
in the process with you. Also, it is worth checking the price
to ensure that a treatment is within your budget
Taking Enemas – Enemas have been used for thousands of years as
an approach to treating digestive disorders. In involves
inserting a tube into the rectum and allowing fluid to enter
the rectum and colon. This then softens waste that may be
present in the lower colon and stimulates bowel movement.
There are a number of different enema kits that can be used at
home. They are most likely to be sold at a pharmacy near you.
The downsides of the enema are that it can only tend to bath
the rectum and a small part of the colon, and it can be a
little awkward to set up for someone new to colon cleansing.
Taking an enema is gentle and considered safe, although it can
take some time to get used to it, and initially there may be
stomach cramping until you get used to them.
Herbal preparations and colon cleansing kits – There is a huge
variety of these on the market and so discussing each one if
not feasible in this article. However, they all tend to work
in a similar way, by inducing a laxative affect and attempting
to "scrub" the bowels of any lingering waste material.
Some also contain ingredients that are intended to soothe the
bowels and help with the healing process.
Many of these kits also encourage changes in diet, Which leads
us on to.
Dietary changes – The main cause for colon health problems is
likely to be the diet that a person has been following to date.
So, it stands to reason that changing the diet can help the
body recover.
There tends to be too little roughage in most people's diet in
the "industrialised" nations, and far too much food that is
high in fat and which has been overly processed.
Increasing the intake of fiber, and reducing the foods that are
high in fat and have little nutritional value (like most
processed foods) can help the colon regain health naturally.
Initially, aim to eliminate all foods that do not contain some
form of fiber. Do this for a few days to increase bowel
movements.
Also, increase the volume of water consumed. This will help to
flush out the toxins in the system and ease the removal of
waste.
The most gentle cleanse for your colon is to follow a high
fber, low fat diet. This will slowly bring the colon back to
normal health, although it will take some time.
