How to Cleanse Your Colon With Herbs

Today’s Western diet typically lacks fibre and tends to be high in
sugar, fat and other colon blocking foods. When your colon becomes blocked,
waste starts to build up inside, slowing down the normal digestive
process and causing toxins to be released back into the body. Cleansing
your colon can remove these wastes and toxins, keeping the body healthy.

Probably the best way to cleanse the colon naturally is to change the
diet. By eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, as well as whole grains,
assists in more regular bowel movements, which in turn clears much of
the old waste matter from the colon.

However, some people cannot add more fibre to their foods or find it
inconvenient. If this is the case there are herbal supplements available
that will do the job. An added benefit that some of these herbs have is
that some of them will cleanse the liver too.

One excellent herbal source that can be used is Slippery Elm. This herb
tends to regulate stools in the colon, so if there is a lot of old
waste matter that is just sitting in the colon not moving properly, this
herb basically helps to make it softer. Conversely, if someone is
suffering from a bout of diarrhoea, this herb affects it in the opposite way,
by making it more solid.

Another herb that is helpful for colon cleansing and also cleanses the
liver is Dandelion. It will stimulate the liver, helping it remove any
waste from your system and reduce your blood pressure.

To speed up the colon cleansing process, you can also start taking
herbal laxatives available at your local health food store. These typically
have very few side effects.

Supplement mixtures can also be utilised for herbal colon cleansing.
What these normally entail is a special formulation that combines several
herbs to offer a better all round natural slant towards colon
cleansing.
