Natural Colon Cleanse Products
A regular colon cleanse relieves your body of all the waste materials,
intestinal parasites and toxins. Natural herbal supplements can be considered as the best colon cleanse products as they can flush out parasites and fill your gut with probiotics, which are friendly bacteria that improve digestion. Some of the safe herbal colon cleanse products include
psyllium husk or seeds,
flax seeds, slippery elm and cascara sagrada. Taking these herbs regularly along with a balanced diet can keep your colon healthy and free from build up.
Bentonite Clay
One of the best natural colon cleanse products is bentonite clay which absorbs water and collects toxins and pesticides from your colon and carries them out. While taking
bentonite or psyllium husk, you need to drink plenty of water since these cleansers absorb water from your colon and may cause constipation if you are not well hydrated. It is essential to follow a
detox diet of water, veggies and fruits to avoid the side effects of these natural colon cleansers.
Senna Leaf
Senna leaf is widely used as a
laxative as it exhibits many helpful medicinal properties. But what you may not be aware of is that
senna can cause stomach upset and it can disrupt the electrolyte and water balance in your body, which if left untreated can be fatal. Moreover, overuse of the senna herb can result in liver failure and your colon function might diminish rather than being improved.
Cascara Sagrada
Cascara sagrada is another popular herb that contains anthraquinones and is used as an ingredient in numerous colon cleanse products over the counter. It is extensively used as an over-the-counter laxative drug. Cascara sagrada is in fact, a carcinogen (cancer causing agent) and long term use or overuse of this herb may result in colorectal growths (adenomas). Other side effects of this herb include hepatitis, damaged liver, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding and colon lesions. Cascara sagrada is also known as rhamnus purshiana, cascara, California buckthorn, sacred bark, etc.
After reading about the horrifying side effects of these natural colon cleanse products, I am sure you will take the necessary precautions while using these products. If you drink plenty (at least 8 glasses) of water, then using psyllium husk or bentonite clay as colon cleansers can be safe and effective. But it is always safe to follow the simplest cleansing method which involves eating a
high fiber diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables. You should avoid sugar, processed foods and heavy meats as far as possible. This type of food is responsible for obstruction in the bowel movement. You won???t be able to notice an instant effect, as it might take a few weeks to cleanse your colon through high fiber diet; but it is the safest way of colon cleansing.
