Have you ever been curious enough to find out how colonic irrigation works, or why some people swear by the benefits that it brings them? The only way to find out is by doing some research and then finding a practitioner who knows what he is doing.
You will find that this procedure is not cheap and that, if you are not careful, there are risks attached if the therapist is not up to scratch. It is very easy to perforate the delicate lining of the colon with attendant nasty consequences. Apart from this, you have to trust the person performing the irrigation to sterilise his equipment well. If you go on the internet, you can have a look at the social media sites for recommendations or otherwise of the various clinics in your area.
The trouble with colonic irrigation is that, as with antibiotics, good as well as bad bacteria are being removed from your intestinal tract. Perhaps you could bring a probiotic drink with you to use after the procedure.
Medically a colonic irrigation is routinely performed before surgery to make sure that the colon is free of debris. If you merely want or need to cleanse your colon, a much better way to go about it is to purchase a natural product such as Colosan which will perform this procedure better. The reason for this is that it can reach further into your intestinal tract than a colonic irrigation can ever hope to do.
Colosan cannot claim to be a gentle product, but it is much more preferable to use a supplement such as this than to take herbal laxatives which are very abrasive. You can modify your diet to take in more roughage such as fresh produce like fruit and vegetables which provide a gentler cleansing action.
You should also minimise the consumption of highly refined foods that contain white starches and sugars. These have been stripped of all goodness and will do your system no good at all. Unfortunately these are found in all foods that are manufactured commercially and it is very hard to stay away from them.
You only have to look at the ingredient list on a packet of biscuits, sauces, crisps and convenience meals to know that they contain all kinds of unhealthy additives.
The object of the product mentioned above is to deliver extra oxygen to your intestinal area. The supplement should be taken with water to which an acidic drink has been added such as vinegar or lemon juice. It is also recommended that you take it on an empty stomach and that you should refrain from having a meal for an hour.
One of the disadvantages of this supplement is that it will take a few days to rid your colon from all unwanted excesses and this means that you have to be able to get to the toilet in a hurry to avoid accidents. This will probably entail sitting at home for a few days.
