The natural way to cleanse the colon is really the best, safest and most effective. If you are not so interested in using a natural colon cleanser, you can go to a clinic and have a technician place a foreign object into your rectum, shoot warm water into your system through the tube, and then let it all come flooding out. If this does not sound inviting, then you are a good candidate for a natural colon cleanser.
The natural way to cleanse the colon is to control what you put into your system and design your plan so that you include ingredients that will also break down old fecal matter and flush it out naturally.
First of all, you need to abstain from eating fatty and processed foods for a period of 3 – 10 days. During this time, you should drink liquids, primarily fruit and vegetable juices and plenty of water. Note that tomato and citrus juices are too acidic and should therefore be avoided. Instead, drink juices made from carrot, celery, onion, spinach, squash and apple. A liquid diet will give your colon the much needed rest it needs. It will also mix with the old fecal matter you are hoping to eliminate thereby making it easier to be expelled.
Secondly, you need to take herbal supplements that will help break up the built-up waste that is stuck to the sides of your colon walls. This old matter is sticky and often dried up into a hard substance. It is very difficult to get it to break loose on its own. Some of the herbs that will help break it loose are Psyllium and Senna. These are known to be natural laxatives. Either will work well, but Psyllium is generally more gentle than Senna. Senna stimulates perisatlic action in the colon and for some people, this can be uncomfortable. Some people experience abdominal cramping and pain with this herb. Psyllium, on the other hand, simply absorbs liquids and gently sloughs off the built-up material making it easier then to flush out of the body.
Finally, be sure to drink plenty of water in addition to the liquid diet. The water dilutes the built-up sludge while the Psyllium helps bind it with the water making it easier to pass. Water is also very good for flushing and rinsing the system.
When you do these things you will actively cleansing the colon in the most natural way. In the end, you will feel refreshed, re-energized and revitalized. By naturally cleansing the colon you will also not suffer from any negative side effects of synthetic ingredients. You will feel healthy because you will be naturally clean inside.
