Why do a colon cleanse?

There are several ways to do colon cleansing at home.

A colon cleanse is the act of flushing out or cleaning the large intestine. They may be performed by professionals called colonic hygienists.

In spite of insufficient research to support its benefits, the goal of colon cleansing is to clear the colon of any stagnant, supposedly toxic waste encrusted on the walls of the large intestine.

Possible benefits of a colon cleanse include

Improved mental outlook
Improved immune system
Weight loss
Reduced colon cancer risk

It may also be performed at home by taking certain oral substances.

Is colon cleansing safe?

Colon cleansing products are available over the counter. These products claim they are natural. This does not necessarily mean they are safe. Colon cleansing alone may not help weight loss as most calories are absorbed in the small intestine. Frequent colon cleanses can lead to a change in the natural bacteria of the colon, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, tearing of the colon, infection, abdominal pain, giddiness, nausea and vomiting. This can be dangerous in the presence of other underlying medical conditions, especially those of the heart and kidneys.

The colon cleansing products may be taken orally or an enema or colon irrigation may be performed by a professional.

10 natural home remedies for colon cleansing

Water flush: Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is the simplest way to regulate digestion. Drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day is recommended for colon cleansing. Additionally, eating fresh fruits and vegetables high in water content like watermelon and tomatoes would be helpful.
Saltwater flush: Mixing two teaspoons of sea salt or pink salt with lukewarm water and drinking it on an empty stomach is helpful. It stimulates colon movements within a few minutes. This may be done twice a day.
High-fiber diet:Fiber is an essential nutrient present in whole, healthy plant foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and more. Fibers help bulk up excess matter in the colon. They can regulate constipation and overactive bowels. They also boost helpful bacteria.
Lemon water and honey: Mix fresh lemon juice, one teaspoon of honey and a pinch of salt with warm water and drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
Juices and smoothies:These include fruit and vegetable juice fasts and cleanses. Juices made of apples, lemons and aloe vera help in colon cleansing. They also contain nutrients which are beneficial to the body.
