BODY COLON CLEANSE.

Will attempt to provide valuable information on natural health and cleansing techniques and in particular cleansing of the colon.

BODY COLON CLEANSE .

Utilises techniques that have been used for centuries to promote inner health and wellbeing, however prior to looking at the techniques it is important to understand where the colon is in respect of our body and what role it plays within the digestive process.

THE COLON

The colon is made up of 4 sections all which play an iatrical part in the daily digestive process, they are the Ascending Colon, Traversing Colon, Descending Colon, and finally the Sigmoid Colon.

The colon forms part of the digestive system, it is located in the bottom or last part of the internal organs, it’s main task is to reduce or extract water and salt from digested foods, or solid waste which would be the remnants of consumed foods prior to them being eliminated from the body, the colon is also where flora-assisted (predominantly bacteria) fermentation of unused or unabsorbed material happens.

Being the last area of the digestive track or process the colon does not play a significant role in the digestion or absorption of food. Never the less the colon will absorb water, potassium soluble vitamins and a certain amount of fat.

Towards the end of the digestive process we find electrolytes like sodium, magnesium and a trace of chloride are left as well as some indigestible elements of consumed food.

As this progresses through the large intestine the majority of the remaining water is removed while the remnants (chyme) is mixed with mucus and traces of bacteria becoming feces.

The ascending colon receives fecal material as a liquid. The muscles of colon then move the watery waste material forward and slowly absorb all the excess water.

During the process the feces becomes hard or semi solid, once in the descending colon. Then bacteria would break down elements of the fibre for their own nourishment.

Approx 10% undigested carbohydrate becomes available.

Studies show this can provide a calorific value to the body. The large intestine produces no digestive enzymes -— chemical digestion is completed in the small intestine before the chyme reaches the large intestine.

The final element of the whole process would be the body’s natural passings of the waste product more commonly know as a stool or feces.

BODY COLON CLEANSE.

Body Colon Cleansing can include several variations of alternative therapies, which have the intention or purpose to help remove feces and toxins from the colon and associated intestinal elements.

Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation are the more common forms of Body Colon Cleanse however there are various dietary supplements available that profess to carry out similar actions.

A basic colonic irrigation treatment occurs when water is injected into the colon, sometimes this is complimented by the addition of natural herbs with the main task or objective is very simply to wash out the colon.

As mentioned earlier oral treatments are available using dietary aids or laxatives. Natural therapy practitioners suggest that over time putrefied feces begin to line the walls of the digestive track which encourage the development of various parasites which can lead to various ailments and general ill-health.

There are various medical studies and strong beliefs in this subject dating back to the time of the pharaohs. Opinions vary regarding natural remedies however some people will certainly testify to the enhanced wellbeing over time.

It is certainly documented that the intestine or bowl is not dirty and does manifest self cleaning however this process can be hindered through neglect or miss-use of our bodies. Precautions must be taken when administering any internal treatment to include the sterilization of all equipment.

Herbs used in the process could also inhibit the effectiveness or use of prescribed medication.

Always seek the appropriate professional advice in respect of Body Colon Cleanse as side effects can occur if not administered correctly repeated cleansing of the colon could inhibit the proper function of the colon, which could cause issues in the natural process in respect of the ability to defecate.
