Natural Herbs for Colon Cleanse

Colon cleansing is an alternative, natural remedy that eliminates toxins, waste and parasites from the body. Because cleansing eliminates waste from the colon and intestines, it can improve digestive function and help ease gastrointestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. By eliminating toxins that accumulate within the body, people will feel a renewed sense of energy and vitality. Colon cleansing also helps strengthen the immune system and protect people from disease and illness.

  1. Psyllium Husks

    • Psyllium husks are soluble fiber that helps ease gastrointestinal/colon issues. Fiber naturally cleanses waste from the body and strengthens the intestinal lining. It also softens stools which makes waste elimination (bowel movements) easier. Fiber also acts as a natural fat flusher and breaks down fat cells. Not only does fiber naturally cleanse the colon, but it eliminates fat from the body (which can help people lose weight).

    Dandelion Root

    • Dandelion root has been used for centuries as a natural liver cleanser. The liver plays a key role in colon cleansing because accumulated toxins in the liver can leak into the intestines and cause gastrointestinal and colon issues. Dandelion root also contains natural salt which is needed to prevent other medical conditions such as kidney infections.

    Fennel Seed

    • Fennel seed has also been used to cleanse the colon and eliminate digestive tract problems. It inhibits muscle contractions inside the intestines and reduces flatulence (gas). Fennel seed is also rich in fiber which helps the body eliminate waste naturally via bowel movements. Because fennel seed has a strong effect on the digestive tract, it's advised not to give this herb to children and adults should use fennel seed sparingly.

    Licorice Root

    • Licorice root is also known as a natural herb colon cleanser. It decreases muscle spasms in the digestive tract. Licorice root also rids the blood, lungs and liver of harmful toxins. Toxins from the blood and liver can sometimes seep into the gastrointestinal/colon walls. Licorice root also has anti-inflammatory properties which soothes and heals the colon and intestines.

    Warning

    • Please consult a medical doctor before taking herbs as part of a natural colon cleanse.
