ALL ABOUT COLON CLEANSES

Obviously, i am not squeamish and there are several things i am willing to try in the name of beauty and wellness, so in my opinion (remember, i am not a medical practitioner),  colon cleansing or colon hydrotherapy or colon irrigation is something we should all go through once or twice a year to cleanse our bodies.

For the Lily livered, colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective process that works by gently flowing water into the colon to assist in the breakdown of wastes for elimination. A small tube is passed into the colon and purified filtered water at body temperature is released. The therapist massages the stomach to assist with aiding the waste being removed . It is not painful but can be a bit uncomfortable.....kind of like when you have diarrhea.

A toxic bowel is usually the source of many health problems so by cleansing the old , toxic mucus lining of the bowels, one can feel better.  When toxins in the fecal matter are absorbed by the colon system and are not passed out, it can cause auto -intoxication. These toxins end up circulating the body, the lymphatic organs, circulatory system, liver, lungs and kidneys and become unburdened and unable to cope.

Some symptoms of auto-intoxication are - difficulty losing weight, foul breath / body odour, headaches, allergies, chronic fatigue,  arthritis, acne, bloating, indigestion, irritability, nervousness, depression and constipation.

To embark on a colon cleanse, you can just book an appointment with your natural health  practitioner or spa. If you want an effective colon cleanse, a week before your appointment avoid dairy, shell fish, red meat, processed carbohydrates, fried foods, sugar, carbonated drinks and EAT more of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, coconut oil, avocados, olive oil, whole grains (not whole wheat) and of course chicken.
