Safe Colon Cleanse Products

Cleansing your colon can remove years of fecal matter that collect in the intestines. Lack of fiber, vitamins and dehydration can cause bloating, constipation, headaches and insomnia. If your colon is not cleared of fecal matter, toxins could overwhelm the colon, according to the health website naturalcoloncleansers.org. An abundance of toxins can cause various types of illnesses. Colons can be cleansed via colonics (enemas) that are administered in a professional environment or via safe homemade recipes you can make yourself.

  1. Homemade Shake

    • You can safely clean your colon by making a psyllium, bentonite and ginger shake. Bentonite clay absorbs toxins, sticks to bowel walls and draws out mucus. The psyllium binds the mucus, providing the bulk it needs to expel waste. Ginger helps to relieve gas and remove parasites. You can make this shake by mixing 1 tsp. psyllium, 1 tsp. bentonite and 1/2 tsp. of ginger powder together. You can find these ingredients at a health food stores. Add the mixture to 250 ml of organic apple juice and shake until smooth. Drink plenty of water while you are taking this shake. Water helps keep you hydrated and flushes your system. Health site Detox.net says that shakes can be taken safely up to five times a day.

    Fruit Drink

    • Papaya contains enzymes that dissolve mucus and destroy toxins in your colon. According to the health website Detox.net, excess mucus can cause intestinal parasites that hinder nutrient absorption. Papaya contains the papain enzyme that breaks down starches, fats and proteins in your colon. You can make a green papaya cleanse by blending 200 grams of green papaya with various fruits and water in a blender. Detox.net recommends drinking a glass first thing in the morning and at various times throughout the day. You can safely use this drink until your bowels are cleared. Remember to stay hydrated.

    Homemade Tea

    • You can clear you colon safely and easily by preparing an herbal colon-cleansing tea made from holy basil leaves. According to tea site Learn-about-tea.com, holy basil is an herb that contains phyto-chemicals that create strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, producing a laxativelike effect. Make this tea by boiling 200 ml of water. Add two cloves and crushed ginger (about 2 tsp). Let the tea simmer for about three minutes. Add holy basil leaves (five or six) and mint leaves (about three or four) to the mixture, simmering for five minutes more. When the water begins to turn a brownish color, remove it from heat. Allow the tea to cool, add 1 tbsp of lemon juice, and drink while lukewarm. You can drink this tea for one month to safely cleanse your colon.
