A Few Of The Benefits Colon Cleanse Provides

By Donald Cox


As part of total body detoxification, there is a need to regularly cleanse your colon. There are two main methods that are used in this process; one in which cleansing products are used and the other in which irrigation is used. The products are either taken orally or inserted through the rectal route. In general these products include enemas, laxatives, herbal teas, enzymes and magnesium. In this article we review some of the benefits colon cleanse can achieve.

Irrigation yields the best results. It is usually done by colon hygienists (also known as hydro-therapists). In the process, several gallons of water under low pressure (or gravitational force) are emptied into the gut and then removed by abdominal massage. This is repeated several times so as to empty the large gut. The entire process typically lasts for about one hour. It should not be used in persons with rectal tumors, diverticulitis, severe hemorrhoids or inflammatory bowel disease.

Constipation is mainly caused by indigestion and indigestion is itself worsened by constipation. This vicious cycle leads to accumulation of waste products within the colon and harbors harmful bacterial organisms. The presence of the organisms reduces the absorption of nutrients and hampers the immune function. Regularly cleansing enhance the process of digestion and reduces the incidence of constipation and colonization by bacteria.

The toxins that are contained in food are metabolized and removed from the body by the colon and the liver. In case of constipation and indigestion, there is increased transit time in the gut which in turn increases the chances of precancerous and cancerous conditions. Some of these conditions include cysts, polyps and colon cancer. It is important that these toxins are cleared from the system as soon as possible.

It has been suggested by studies that cleansing is one of the methods of jump starting the weight loss process. Low fiber foods tend to accumulate within the colon due to the difficulty that is associated with expelling them. At the same time, they fail to register satiety hence one is likely to eat much more than what the body requires. Regular cleansing followed by increased fiber in the diet serves to augment other weight loss options.

When the health of your gut is compromised, there is a high probability that your mental health will be affected as well. The main reason for this is that the vital vitamins that are required for your staying alert may not be adequately absorbed. When you engage in regular detoxification, toxins and any mucous that may be hampering the process are removed.

Mineral salts and water are mainly absorbed by the large gut. These are central to the maintenance of normal body pH. In a constipated individual, the process of absorption is impaired and instead the mucosa becomes inflamed which allows disease causing organisms to enter the blood stream. The pH becomes acidic hampering numerous body processes.

You need to be aware of some risks of this procedure. They include nausea, vomiting, cramps, reduced amounts of normal flora and mineral imbalance among others. The risks have been shown to increase as the number of procedures increases. When done by a well-trained and licensed professional, their incidence is much lower.
