Why do an Herbal Colon Cleanse?
With all of the commercial products available today, why have an herbal colon cleanse?
Well first of all, if you are using good quality and organic herbal supplements it will be healthier for you overall than a quick chemical fix. Second, it will be less expensive than going to a clinic or a spa for a colonic treatment.
In addition, the herbal colon cleanse can be done in the privacy of your home and it has been shown that it is more effective and safer than most other colon cleansers. Another plus is sheer logic. If you are trying to rid your body of toxins and excess waste material, does it make sense to add more chemicals to your system? NO. Herbal colon cleanses do not have additives or chemicals that could compound your intestinal troubles.
One significant difference between an herbal colon cleanse and most commercial colon cleansers is the way they work. An herbal colon cleanse works with and through your digestive system from the top down and cleanses all of your organs along the way.
Look carefully at the labels of other types and you will see that many of them work from the bottom up to generate a flushed colon. Others use strong laxatives or chemicals to induce bowel movements. The herbal choice is a much more natural approach.
The primary elements of an herbal colon cleanse are water soluble fibers, like psyllium or raw fruits and vegetables, and an herbal drink, such as a lemon juice and water combination. Adding senna or cayenne pepper to the drink helps to cleanse your liver too. Another element is an herbal supplement containing pro-biotics, like bananas, garlic and onions. There are many recipes online.
One simple herbal colon cleanse drink has 10-12 ounces of filtered water to which you add lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper (all in small amounts).
This makes one serving. I recommend making more than one serving at a time so your drink will be convenient during your colon cleanse.
