The Benefits Colon Cleanse Confers

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.

One of the benefits of cleansing is the fact that the process of digestion is improved and the risk of constipation reduced. Persons that are constantly constipated tend to have poor digestion of food which in turn causes poor absorption of nutrients. Some of these nutrients play a vital role in energy generation and maintenance of immune function meaning that they will complain of low energy levels are constant infections.

There are a number of foods that contain toxins. These toxins have to be removed by the liver and the gust in the shortest time possible. Constipation and indigestion within the colon tend to increase the time taken for these toxins to be removed from the system by the liver and the gut. If this goes on for a long period of time, the risk of cancerous and precancerous conditions such as cysts, polyps and colon cancer.

Another important benefit is that of weight loss. Low fiber in foods contribute a great deal to constipation. The waste associated with these foods tends to stay longer within the large gut and getting rid of them is usually very difficult. Satiety feedback mechanisms are suppressed which means that one is more likely to eat more than they need to. Cleansing and increased the amount of fiber in the diet helps to jump start the process of weight loss.

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.

The process helps in the maintenance of an optimal blood pH. The pH is a product of different ions. Many of these ions are absorbed in the large gut. When the process of digestion is impaired, the acidity of the blood is increased. The functioning of many body systems is affected and one tends to have general body malaise. The entry of bacterial and fungal organisms through an inflamed gut (during constipation) compounds this problem.

There are a number of risks that are associated with the process. These include, among others, mineral imbalance, dizziness (due to dehydration), cramps, nausea, depletion of normal flora in the gut and in rare cases, bowel perforation. The risk of these complications increases with increasing frequency of the procedure. In the hands of a well trained professional, these complications are very rare.
