How to Clean Colon at Home

By Charlotte Cole


It seems every health related newspaper article and every fitness related topic on television are warning and encouraging us to learn how to clean colon if we want better overall health. We hear of the statistics that seem to confirm that colon cancer and colon diseases are on the rise. We see the advertisements for oral colon cleansing pills and hydrotherapy, however we are still unsure what methods would be best for us. So, are we listening to these warnings? Many of us are and are simply unsure how to clean our colon without the use of potentially dangerous oral colon cleansing pills and hydrotherapy that can be expensive and/or ineffective.

First, lets understand why it is important to cleanse or colon, then we can better understand what method we should use to achieve our individual health goals. Many gastroenterologist and other proponents of colon cleansing warn of the importance of removing harmful toxins from our colon. They have the same opinion that harmful toxins formed or deposited in our gastrointestinal tract may be the real underlining cause of a variety of known health problems. Researchers were able to show a direct connection between such disorders as arthritis, many recognized allergies and some forms of asthma to the dysfunction of our colon and the overall toxicity levels in our bodies. They affirm the value of colon cleansing as a needed regime of any healthy lifestyle.

Colonic irrigation is often used as a synonym for colon cleanse and it is simply the removal of harmful toxins in our colon so that our colon can function as it was intended to so.

Lets discuss some simple precautions to consider if we choose to cleanse our colon for better health. First, if you are already taking medications or you have any known health problems, proceed only with the approval of your conventional medical physician. This process can have an adverse reaction with your current medicine and can even ultimately lead to earlier death.

How do we get these harmful disease causing toxins in our bodies and what is the best way to avoid them in the future? Known researchers and gastroenterologists where able to find that many of these harmful toxins are introduced to our colons as a result of either direct or indirect bad food choices we make that lead to overall bad food diets. The unhealthy fast food, for example, that we eat may introduce or encourage the unhealthy build up of toxicity in our colons.

Ensure that your practitioner has a list of all medicines you are using. Additionally, it may appear to be of no consequence, but it is very important to notify your practitioner of any vitamins, minerals or other herbal supplements you are taking on a regular basis. These can also lead to serious negative reactions as a result of the method used in your colon cleansing procedure. Before, during and after you undergo a colon cleansing procedure, ensure that you are and remain very well hydrated by drinking lots of fluids, especially water. This simple step will help to avoid the main cause of many negative reactions to colon cleansing: dehydration.

Colonic hydrotherapy is the process of flushing or washing out the intestines through the use of warm water. This warm water is then inserted through a tube in the rectum and encouraged to flood your intestine to the point where your intestine is full and can not hold any more water. The water is then flushed out through the use of another tube. When the water is flushed out, it brings with it all of the toxic material and impacted old fecal matter as well as good and bad bacteria. Your colon is now clean. However, is it healthier? No, it is not yet healthier then when you started. There is one last and mandatory step in understanding how to clean your colon. If you recall from the steps stated above, the warm water washed away ALL bacteria, good and bad. Your colon need some level of bacteria to function properly. Now that it has been washed clean it is unhealthy and this can lead to major diseases if not rectified.

So, why learn how to clean colon? Because colon diseases can lead to disabilities later in life and colon cancer is a known killer. As a result, learning to clean your colon can be a decision that later preserves the quality of your life or save your life in the future.
