Number One Colon Cleansing Products

By William Wallace

People are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of proper colon health. Supporters believe that a good colon cleansing can clear the body of harmful toxins, including undigested food and built-up fecal matter, as well as boost the immune system and remove parasites! Going to the doctor can be embarrassing as well as time consuming though, so most of us just avoid the issue. But there's no need to visit the doctor; there are plenty of colon cleansing products you can use at home!

Which method of colon cleansing is best? It really depends on your personal preference and medical history. You should always consult your doctor before beginning a colon cleansing regimen using colon cleansing products.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by all the colon cleansing products on the market. Basically, though, supplements and powders fall into two major categories. There are standard herbal supplements and cleansing kits. Herbal supplements are aimed at the general well-being of the digestive system, much in the way of a multivitamin or fiber substitute. Cleansing kits are usually a combination of herbs, meant to be taken in a series, that specifically target colon function. For example, a cleansing kit may have three bottles of herbal preparations to be used over a period of days or weeks.

Be aware that while herbs are natural, they are not always safe for use as colon cleansing products. Protect yourself from hype and scams by checking with your doctor. Even common herbs could interfere with medication or complicate existing health problems.

Enemas have been used for a long time to cleanse the colon. You can find a kit at most drug store pharmacies. They gently break up excess waste material by flushing the colon with warm water. Be aware that an enema is intended to flush the lower intestine only. To get a full colon cleanse, or high colonic, you need to see a professional. Beware of colon cleansing products that claim otherwise.

There are many supplements you can add to the enema solution that are supposed to help with the detox process. Treat these the same way you would any herb or drug, with caution. The intestines are designed to absorb, so anything you introduce via an enema will be introduced into your body's systems.

If you plan on cleansing your colon often, a colonic irrigation board this may be the solution for you. It looks a bit intimidating, but really it's just a way to be comfortable while cleansing. You take the board and place it over the toilet, supporting the head end with a chair. This allows you to lie down. The excess waste and water goes directly into the toilet. Also, because they often come with a five gallon tank for the water, you can repeat the cleanse without having to get up to use the toilet and refill the bag.
