How to Do an Epsom Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing is a good way to remove toxins and built-up waste from the body. Cleansing your colon can improve your overall health and even facilitate weight loss. There are two types of Epsom salts, those you can eat and those you can't. Make sure that you don't consume inedible Epsom salts, as they can make you very sick. Check the information on the package of your Epsom salts to make sure you have the edible variety.
