People have been using colon cleansing for a long time to strengthen their body's natural detoxification processes, for healthy digestion and to improve their general quality of life. The ancient Egyptians used water to cleanse the intestinal tissue ("colonic irrigation") as early as 1500 BC.
To remove accumulated waste products and to rehydrate old stools that have been compressed. Most methods use water to soften hardened stools so that they can be excreted more easily.
Colon cleansing - regardless of the type - is always about supporting the digestive organs in such a way that they can perform their function optimally. This involves removing all residues and obstacles that prevent normal bowel function. Not everyone necessarily needs to do a colon cleanse. However, some benefit from it in a special way and remove waste products, harmful bacterial build-up and toxic end products from their body.
Billions of bacteria (microflora) live in the intestine, making up to 70 percent of the dry weight of our feces. However, these bacteria are not only needed for the formation of stool. They live in the gut and digestive tract and are responsible for nutrient absorption, maintaining pH levels, regulating hunger and fighting harmful bacteria. These are the reasons why healthy bowel function is so important for our general well-being.
Our digestive system has its own mechanisms for eliminating waste products. Nevertheless, many people have problems with regular bowel movements. There are many reasons for this, ranging from poor intestinal health, allergies or pesticide ingestion to inflammation of the digestive system.
It is estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of all adults worldwide suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. Chronic constipation is one of the most common digestive problems and affects around 42 million people in the USA alone.
Those most affected are:
If you do not have a bowel movement at least once a day, a bowel cleansing may be an option for you.
It is now well known that many health problems stem from poor digestive health, such as stomach pain, abdominal cramps, chronic fatigue, constipation, weakness, headaches and allergic reactions. All of these complaints can be traced back, at least in part, to problems with the elimination of waste products.
An impaired gut can lead to sluggishness, irritability, fatigue, brain fog and fluctuations in appetite. The cause is that food and waste particles that are not removed can lead to the formation of mucus in the intestine, in which bacteria accumulate and ferment. As a result, toxins filtered from the blood are returned to the bloodstream. Irregular bowel movements can also lead to malabsorption of nutrients, which can result in patients suffering from weakness and other symptoms.
The large intestine is flushed. This is located between the small intestine and the anus. Its task is to remove stool from the body. This consists of a combination of bacteria, water, unutilized nutrients, unused electrolytes and digested food residues.
If you would like to perform a colon cleansing, there are various options available to you:
You can also effectively flush your colon by doing a juice fast, a salt water flush or an enema. Colon cleanses can be divided into two broad categories:
One of the most common reasons for a professional colon cleanse is in preparation for a medical procedure (e.g. a colonoscopy), where the colon needs to be completely free of accumulated debris. On the other hand, many people cleanse their colon at home using enemas, laxatives or special herbal mixtures to relieve constipation, bloating and other digestive problems.
In many procedures, a tube is inserted into the rectum through which large amounts of water are passed, which then makes its way through the colon. The water flushes out all deposits. The exact amount of water or liquid depends on the method used. Some require up to 60 liters of water!
There are countless reports on the effectiveness of colon cleansing. After all, this method of optimization was already known in ancient Greece. However, the American Journal of Gastroenterology notes that only a few well-controlled human studies have been conducted on the benefits of colon cleansing. Despite this, millions of people use this method every year to improve their health. If done correctly, there are no significant risks. In particular, for people who do not experience lasting relief even when taking laxatives or prescription medication, a colon cleanse can finally bring the desired results and lead to regular bowel movements and symptom relief.
Studies show that bowel movements are important for removing bacteria, detoxifying heavy metals and removing excess fatty acids from the body. A bowel cleansing can also have a positive effect on the nervous system and help with symptoms such as anxiety and fatigue.
Yes, you read that right: Your bowel movements can affect your mood! This is because the nerves in the colon communicate with the brain and influence chemical signals that are sent throughout the central nervous system throughout the body. A well-functioning colon is therefore important for hormone balance, appetite control, sleep and mental processing.
Some enemas can also help the body to absorb nutrients better. This is the case, for example, with a colon cleansing with coffee: antioxidants and caffeine reach the liver via the hemorrhoidal vein. There they help to open the blood vessels, improve blood circulation, relax the smooth muscles, regulate bowel movements and increase the production of bile, which is necessary for good digestion and elimination.
Depending on the method chosen, a colon cleanse takes between 20 and 90 minutes. Some people respond better to the treatment and see better results than others. You should also bear in mind that the effectiveness of a colon cleanse can be increased by performing it more frequently and that it is easier to perform overall. At first, many people struggle to introduce and retain so much fluid. However, the more you study and learn to do a colon cleanse correctly, the more beneficial you will find it.
Before you decide, you should learn more about the different methods, how they work and what effects they have on your digestive system. It is very important to know that not only water can be used. Various salt solutions, herbs or acidic solutions are also used to rid the body of waste products.
Basics of the most popular colon cleansing methods:
In the UK, around 5,600 colonic irrigations are carried out every month. Surprisingly, there are no reports of side effects. Colonics are perfectly safe for most people, but some people should avoid them.
Pregnant women, people with active hemorrhoids, kidney disease or dehydration may experience side effects such as weakness, dizziness, cramps, bloating, nausea and vomiting. If colonic irrigation is performed too frequently, electrolyte balance may be disturbed or your rectum may become prone to tearing and bleeding.
It is very important that absolutely clean materials are used for the procedure in order to minimize the risk of bacterial transmission and resulting infections.
Initially, you should not perform colonic irrigations or enemas more than once a month. Talk to your doctor if you want to use the procedure more frequently, especially to treat certain conditions or if you are taking medication. Be sure to seek medical advice if you suffer from any form of irritable bowel syndrome such as Crohn's disease, diverticulitis or ulcerative colitis.
You should also take probiotics as a precaution after a colon cleanse to promote the colonization of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. You should also drink plenty of water and eat electrolyte-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables. This will prevent kidney, liver or heart problems, which occur when your body has too little water, salt or electrolytes such as magnesium or potassium.
When using laxatives or herbs to cleanse the bowel, you should know that some are safer than others. We recommend using natural laxatives such as herbal supplements, for example psyllium husk, magnesium, aloe vera or collagen protein. These generally work more gently than over-the-counter laxatives and also nourish the digestive tract, promoting regular bowel movements. Keep a close eye on how you react to each remedy and pay particular attention to signs of dehydration, muscle weakness, dizziness or excessive thirst.
First of all, you should know that the best way to detoxify and cleanse your gut is to avoid ingesting harmful substances through your diet in the first place. We therefore recommend a nutrient-rich diet with real food.
Some products impair the function of the digestive system and can cause inflammation in the intestines:
Replace these products with these gut-friendly foods:
Colonic irrigations should always be carried out under medical supervision. It is extremely important that the instructions are followed exactly and that hygienically safe materials are used. Pregnant women, children or people with kidney disease or hemorrhoids should not undergo a colonic irrigation.
This type of bowel cleansing does not normally cause pain or too much discomfort, as a lubricant is used when the tube is inserted. Nevertheless, you will feel some pressure. It may also take several hours for your condition to return to normal.
For an enema (with water, coffee, apple cider vinegar or another liquid), you first need a bowel cleansing kit that contains at least one type of tube for insertion and a bag or bucket for the liquid. There is a clamp on the tube that you insert into your rectum, which you can use to regulate the amount of liquid. If you spend a little more money, you can get higher quality sets that come with a cap that allows you to better control how much fluid you are feeding yourself.
If you want to perform enemas regularly, we recommend purchasing a reusable set as opposed to disposable bottles. Some people prefer sets that contain a kind of bucket. This is because you have to hang a bag up in some way, for example on a towel rail in the bathroom. Buckets are also easier to clean than bags, but they are also more expensive.
Stainless steel buckets are more hygienic than plastic buckets or bags and are also reusable. Sets that include a bag are generally cheaper, especially if you want to dispose of it after the enema. This option is also good for on the go.
