How to Make a Homemade Colon-Cleansing Drink

The colon is responsible for absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste products and toxins. The colon has many folds internally, and periodically waste products can get trapped, causing constipation. Colon cleansing is a suggested practice to maintain overall health and prevent toxic buildup. Colon-cleansing products are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, so colon cleansing drinks should promote natural bowel movement and waste and toxin absorption.
