There are various methods through which you can get the colon cleaned out. But we are going to be examining homemade colon cleansing methods. They are:
1. Enemas
Enemas are highly popular homemade colon cleansers that have been in existence for at least five centuries now. In the ancient times, people discovered that to incite bowel movements, they could pour water through the anus into the colon. Hence, they started applying that to themselves when they had digestion problems or when they found it hard to pass their wastes.
Enemas are not hard to get or create. They are made from a combination of water and oils which are squirted through the anus into the colon until the colon is full and then initiates the bowel movement required. The thing with this method is that it is invasive, embarrassing and unenjoyable. Moreover, it is not something you can do while on the move. You must be close to a toilet otherwise, you will suffer the embarrassment of doing it on yourself.
People who use the homemade colon cleanse enema tend to apply more water quantity than the commercially available ones; for instance, a homemade colon cleanse enema contains 3/4 of water, and peppermint, frankincense or fennel. Sometimes they combine one or more of these together or even all at the same time. It is important to note the role these oils play in getting an individual to have bowel movements. They stimulate the colon muscles which in turn contract to expel the stool. Please note that in case you settle for this option, you need to add nothing more than 1-3 drops of the oils to the water you’ll be using as enema. While you may be satisfied with this option, it is better that you know that applying it is also pretty difficult. It entails having to lie down with bag containing the enema hanging at least 2 feet above the body and you have to be close to the toilet. The temperature of the water has to be between ninety eight and one hundred and three (98-103) degree Fahrenheit. It is a whole complex stuff and besides, it doesn’t do a thorough job of properly eliminating impacted fecal matter clinging to your colon walls.
2. Fasting
This method is very cheap because it doesn’t involve you buying stuff to cleanse the colon. All you need is your determination to carry it through. It takes time, which some people say twenty one days, to see the results. You would actually feel your breath come out as fresh as that of a baby; okay that’s going too far but you can get the idea. The idea behind using fasting as a way to have a very effective colon cleansing is that when you do not eat, your body is forced to digest whatever it finds in the colon in the bid for survival. It is also of importance that your colon be well rested during this period. It is for this reason that people who fast regularly find it hard to go back to eating because of the total sense of well being that emanates from the single act of fasting.
But you need to realize that while this works for some people, it definitely cannot work for those who have got stomach ulcers, people who are not disciplined. Also, who likes the idea that his or her body has to digest impure, toxic substances just for survival? Be sure to know that your body may be forced to do it, but what is the long term effect? If the body really feels it did not need this waste materials previously, why force it to digest what it feels is toxic and should be passed out as waste? So you can see now that except you are comfortable with the idea, it is not a very good option to take.
3. Consume more fiber
The third method you can use and has been tested and tried to get your colon cleansed is by eating lots of fibers to enable regular bowel movements and passing out of the feces frequently. This will enhance the movement of the bowel. One of such fiber rich foods is prune juice. It is advised that if you want to increase the frequency of the bowel movements, then it is a good option. It helps loosen up the stool and promotes easier passage of the stool hence preventing lots of straining and disallowing the impaction of feces on the colon walls. However, if the feces was there long before you started taking the prune juice, you will not be able to get rid of all the feces that are already stuck to the walls of the colon. So you can see that unless you really enjoy eating prune- as you’d have to eat a lot to notice any effect-, it really takes time to work. You have to be patient.
