Tips for an All Natural Colon Cleanse

As the name suggests, a colon cleanse is a system of cleaning the colon which produces an increase in concentration and an overall improvement in your health.

There are numerous homemade colon cleanses available; however don’t use them for more than thirty days. If you don’t find immediate results it does not imply that the cleanse is not working. Sometimes you may have to use two types of cleanses, in small combinations to get the right effect. However using too many products at once will make you unsure on which cleanse works for you, and which does not.

Various Natural Colon Cleanses

Alfalfa is a natural colon cleanse where its stem, leaves and plants are a great source of fiber which provides bulk in your stool. It also provides chlorophyll and silicon to the body and is available in tablet and capsule form. However, it may produce gas so use it with care.

Many people use bentonite clay as a natural colon cleanse as it attracts toxins of the body, while passing through the colon. It has the capacity of absorbing, and holding many times its weight of toxins and is found in a colloidal suspension. Flaxseed is also effective in adding bulk to your stool, and thus protects the colon from damage and from fecal matter build-up.

A long time cleanser is cod liver oil, which is a colon lubricant with vitamin A and D. It makes the gallbladder contract while releasing bile to aid in your digestion. Psyllium seed is another great stool bulking agent that breaks down the fecal matter from the lining of the colon. In fact, many colon cleansing products contain psyllium husk which is at the heart of the cleanser.

Hydration and Colon Cleansing
