An Overview of Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing has gotten a lot more attention from mainstream consumers lately, because it works well to help the body heal from a variety of conditions. Cleaning 

your colon can help your body heal from various ailments and illnesses, but it can also help you lose weight, gain energy, and give you various other benefits.

The premise of colon cleansing is simple. Your body disposes of the bulk of it's waste - including harmful toxins and bacteria - through the colon. When the colon or other organs involved in the waste disposal system of your body are not working properly, sickness occurs.

The liver is the first stage of your body's waste disposal system, and many people feel it is the most important organ in your body. The liver's job is to filter out toxins and harmful elements from your system, convert it into bile, and send it on to be transported out of your body. If the liver is damaged, backed up, or not functioning at peak capacity, this can lead to a variety of health problems internally.

The liver sends the bile it creates to the gall bladder, which then passes the waste into the intestines and colon. This is the common problem area for most people today. The colon averages over six feet in length, so a lot of material can be in there at any given time. If the colon gets backed up, damaged, or isn't working properly, that waste stagnates inside. If left untreated, the waste backed up in your colon can become hard and dry, and over time toxins will start leaking back into your bloodstream through the colon walls. This causes excess stress for your body and other major organs, because you're essentially being poisoned from inside.

Now keeping the colon and waste disposal system functioning well is simply a matter of keeping things moving well. If you have and easy a bowel movement at least twice each day, you're more likely to have a healthy colon. If however, you go for one or more days without moving your bowels, or you have to strain and wait for things to happen in the bathroom, there's a good chance your colon and waste disposal system is not as healthy as it could be.

There are several herbal and alternative ways to help keep your colon clean, healthy and toned. We'll review each of those in detail with additional articles in this series, but the most common ways to keep your colon clean and healthy is to use enemas or irrigation flushes, herbs which help the liver and colon, and dietary approaches.
