Colon Cleansing Home Remedies
62Colon Cleansing Home Remedies
Colon cleansing has become such a trend that there are now several methods of doing it. Many people conjure up such scary images when talking about colon cleansing. Actually, there is no need for pain when going through colon cleansing. There are, in fact, many colon cleansing home remedies that have proven their efficacy in detoxification of the bowels.
One thing that you have to remember when thinking of colon cleansing home remedies is that the act of body detoxification through colon cleansing must not be longer than a week or two. This is because our body also needs the right nutrients and vitamins for it to function well. When we use colon cleansing home remedies and other colon cleansing methods, we also deprive out body of the right amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that it needs.
What Can Work For the Colon?
There are actually many substances that can effectively work as colon cleansing home remedies. One of these is magnesium oxide. Mixed and diluted properly with water, magnesium oxide can effectively cleanse the colon and liberate it from the accumulated filth through the years. It functions by releasing large amount of oxygen in the intestines, thus encouraging the growth of good bacteria and reduces the chances of bad bacteria and harmful fungi of surviving.
Other colon cleansing home remedies include eating large amounts of vegetables and fruits high in fiber and drinking at least eight glasses of water daily. Fiber has always been touted as a substance that can help clean and flush out undesirable accumulation in out bowels. There are plenty fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and very effective as colon cleansing home remedies. Some people recommend dieting on just citrus fruits of any kind and water for duration of just three to four days. This method can be dangerous because the body can only take as much.
Included in the long list of colon cleansing home remedies is a salt water flush that requires a person drinking two quarts of pure water mixed with two teaspoons of sea salt. The mixture can be drunk throughout the whole morning and you can expect to frequently go to the toilet for the duration of the afternoon.
As expected from all kinds of colon cleansing home remedies, you will frequently visit the toilet. Some discomfort is expected but if you experience extreme and debilitating pain, then it is a different story entirely. A visit to the doctor may be required if the pain continues until the next day or if the visits to the toilet progresses to diarrhea.

Very nice information on colon cleansing Colon cleansing can be done easily at home
Wow, it's a shame that people don't know the true nature of the colon. It's basically just the piping out of the body that gets rid of all the body's waste and toxins that you LIVER has already taken care of for you. Nature already has it figured out. Doesn't need us to go messing it up with a bunch of hoo ha nonsense. Basic anatomy and physiology. Drink water, eat some fiber, the body will do the rest. Don't risk harming yourself. Get your facts straight first.
Good point! Let me elaborate.
Home Remedy No-No Number 5: Home Colon Cleansing
"We hear a lot about the toxic effects of the contents of the colon on the body," says Robert Siegel, MD, a fellow with the American College of Gastroenterology. "But that's a fallacy."
And that's where home colon cleansing products come into play. People hear the claims that their colons are filled with toxic waste matter and that the solution is to flush them out with herbs, probiotics, special diets, enemas, or laxatives.
The fact of the matter is that the colon is a waste receptacle, explains Siegel. Its function is to let fecal material pass out of the body, naturally.
Trying to cleanse your colon from the comforts of your home can disrupt your body's electrolyte balance, causing dehydration and salt depletion. Over time, frequent colon cleansing can even lead to anemia, malnutrition, and heart failure.
Instead of cleaning your colon on your own, start by increasing your fiber intake by eating more fruits and vegetables, or by adding a supplement to your diet -- 38 grams for men and 25 grams for women 50 and younger -- every day.
If you're still feeling constipated and uncomfortable, Siegel recommends you see your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist.
