least a basic knowledge or awareness of what a colon cleanse
entails. The benefits of maintaining a clean colon and a
healthy digestive system are too numerous to mention in this
article and a relatively small investment of time to gain
useful colon cleanse info and insight could save you years of
struggling with your health, and prolong your life. As well as,
of course, saving you medical expenses.
These days you're hard pressed to sit in front of your TV
without being hit by a colon cleanse or detox infomercial.
These infomercials often provide basic info about colon
cleansing, they tend to tell you what colon cleansing can do
for you and what may happen if you allow your colon health to
deteriorate. However, these adverts are understandable focused
on selling the merchant's product and are so understandably
biased in their praise of their own product.
Unfortunately, because colon cleansing has raised so much
awareness, there are some individuals or companies whom are all
too willing to take advantage of this manic rush for colon
cleansing products. There are a number of colon cleansers in
the market today demanding high prices, and the result of the
product does not justify such a monumental price tag.
That doesn't mean though that most colon cleansers and colon
cleansing programs are scams. There are numerous
colon-cleansing products in the market today that could give
you the relief that you need as well as give your colon a new
lease in life.
For you to be able to find the right colon cleansing product or
program for you, you need to be educated on it. You have to be
prepared when purchasing and actually using the product.
There are only a few types of products that are available that
can be used to clean the colon, and these include:
- Colonic hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation) – These are
normally carried out at a spa or a clinic by trained staff. A
small tube is inserted into the colon and a fluid solution is
used to flush away and waste matter that is lodged inside.
This technique may be more expensive than others but it does do
a good job in cleaning the colon. It is a pretty safe procedure
and one that can be repeated periodically.
- Enemas – Enemas in one shape or another have been around for
thousands of years; in fact it is well documented that the
ancient Egyptians used enemas routinely for various health
reasons. This treatment also requires a thin pipe to be
inserted into the rectum, and liquid, under low pressure, is
allowed to enter the body.
This helps flush out waste from the colon and stimulate bowel
movements.
However, an enema is usually unable to reach the top of the
colon, and so may only "treat" in and around the rectum area.
Home enema kits are available and can be an alternative to
going to a clinic or a spa for the treatment. They should come
with full instructions to make it easy to carry out alone.
Laxatives – There are various types of over the counter, herbal
or prescription laxatives and they aim do one or a number of the
following things.
* Increase the bulk of the stool
* Soften the stool
* Increase the amount of lubrication in the bowels so the stool
can be passed easier
* Hydrate the stool, so that it is easier to pass
* Stimulate the mobility of the bowels/ colon, making the
muscle movements stronger.
Herbal preparations – There have been an increase in the number
of herbal preparations available on the market, and especially
over the Internet. Generally, these type of colon cleansers
contain natural ingredients that have a similar effect to
laxatives, but are designed to "scrape" any lodged waste matter
from the lining of the colon.
I would recommend that before you take any colon cleansing
herbal preparation, make sure that you speak with your doctor
and that you have some proof that the preparation works from a
reputable source.
