A NEW APPROACH TO COLONIC HEALTH: CHRONIC DIGESTIVE ISSUES
September 15th, 2009 by Gillespie Stevenson under Colon Cleansing, Colon Constipation. No Comments.
There are many ways to treat constipation. Some involve taking over the counter laxatives, while other require a more advanced form of treatment such as colon hydrotherapy which is a procedure done by a trained medical profession. The most common for of medical treatments are enemas and purgatives.
In more recent times, people are resorting to colon cleansing programs to aid in the process. While there are plenty of benefits to flushing your colon, you should always keep safety first. The process of cleaning your colon is considered safe and the more informed you are, the more confidence you will have in the process.
There are plenty of intestinal cleansers on the market. Some are a mixture of chemicals while others are all-natural or organic. You can never go wrong choosing organic over products that contain chemicals. After all, you are trying to cleanse your body from toxic residue.
Even though more primitive societies have been using the power of nature to keep their intestines clean, herbal cleaners are not recognized by the Food and Drug Administration and therefore are not mandated. For this reason, you have to do your research before you decide on the use of a particular product. The FDA does not supervise the use of herbal products.
The product you select should be recognized and certified by a GMP certified company. This is the best to insure you are getting a high grade quality product. The ingredients should be certified as organic.
It is important to keep your body hydrated when you are going through a cleansing and detox program. You can dehydrate very quickly because the body releases a lot of fluids during the process. Drinking plenty of water and fruit drinks such orange or grape juice will help immensely.
It is also important to keep the body replenished with a good balance of sodium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous, as these help to keep vital organs operating efficiently. Most of these mineral can be found in a good health drink. This is important because you will lose a percentage of these minerals when you go through a colon cleansing process. This is the most important safety tip that I can give you.
Pregnant women and those who are nursing should stay away from intestinal colon cleansing. There are too many things that can potentially go wrong. The last thing you want is to loose a lot of essential body fluids when you are pregnant or to deplete yourself of essential nutrients while you are nursing.
Many have asked if it is safe for children to take colon cleansing products. The answer is no. I would not recommended to young kids under any circumstances. Children having constant problems with constipation should see a doctor. Herbs may be too strong for a child’s sensitive digestive track.
People suffering with allergies to exercise caution too. Many herbal products may contain allergens that you are sensitive to. The last thing you want is to have a severe reaction, especially since some allergies can be severely fatal. Read the ingredients of the package before taking any herbs you are unsure of. Herbal products are only safe to take when you practice diligence and prudence about your safety.
