Best Colon Cleanse

I know it's not probably what you want to hear but it's nonetheless true.

If I could simply tell my readers which method or product was the best, across the board, I would be happy to. But instead, we're all different, with different bodies and different needs.

Here are some
places to start:

Try a colon cleansing tea, I like to make my own blends.

There are simple home colon cleanse methods such as an enema or a salt water flush .

There's the route of doing colon hydrotherapy administered by a professional therapist.

There's the concept of adopting a raw foods diet to cleanse the colon, and it seems to work great for some people, while causing digestive distress for others.

There are fibers like those found in flax seeds (which I love) and psyllium husks (which I don't recommend) which increase bulk in the stool, thereby helping to cleanse the colon.

Some people make a homemade combination of psyllium and bentonite clay which is a popular colon cleanse topic on numerous holistic health sites - often referred to as PB shakes (because you shake the dry ingredients together with water). Years back I tried this concoction and what I experienced for most of the time I took it was feeling pretty bound up and uncomfortable!

Psyllium soaks up a lot of water and really bulks up in the intestines, which can actually add to constipation woes for some people as it can be difficult to pass. You must also be careful with bentonite clay as some forms of it are reportedly high in aluminum (!!). Only get bentonite from a reputable source, and make sure they can guarantee its quality and purity.

There are some fantastic colon cleanse kits you can buy online which come with an herbal tea to stimulate release as well as a fiber blend to move things through. Again, just do your research before making a purchase. Check out a few of them before you buy. If it's all natural with no chemical laxatives you're in the right ball park.

"I found the best colon cleanse product for my needs. How do I maximize the results once I'm finished with it?"

Regular moderate exercise also helps keep a body "regular".

So what's the best colon cleanse for you? Like me, you'll continue to do your research and make a decision based on what sounds best to you.
