Colon cleansing is a practice in which the contents of the colon are expelled, either by chemical means or by mechanical means.
There are three main ways you can cleanse your colon:
has. Healthy diet rich in fiber
b. laxatives
against Colonic hydrotherapy or colonic water therapy
The third method, colonic hydrotherapy, is the purely mechanical method of cleansing the colon.
History of colonic hydrotherapy
Colonic hydrotherapy has been used in three different civilizations during ancient times:
one. Egypt (during the time of the pharaohs)
2. Greek (during the rise of democratic city-states)
3. Indian (during the development of commerce and sciences)
The fact that it has remained a mainstream practice says a lot about how people view the practice.
While some remain apprehensive about using water to cleanse the gut, colon clinics are popping up across the US and UK to cater to a growing circle of regular patrons. One hundred years ago, a Nobel laureate spoke clearly about the role of the colon. Russian bacteriologist Ilya Mechnikov claimed that “death begins in the colon.”
Food tracking to the colon
About 90% of all visits to doctors and hospitals are related to the digestive tract. Human diseases can often be attributed to an organ of origin as well: the human colon. Therefore, colon cleansing becomes a distinct activity because it addresses the need to detoxify one of the most important organs in the body.
According to Jo Vega, a colonic hydrotherapy practitioner for 13 years in the UK and a registered member of the Association and Registry of Colon Hydrotherapists, colon cleansing is vital to good health: “I think it can be a win-win treatment for everyone.” “The colon is an important organ of elimination and stress, diet and modern life can affect its function. Colon cleansing can help all systems in the body work better.”
Why do we need a colon cleanse? Niamh Fitzgerald, another colonic hydrotherapist from the UK (in Dublin), notes the “lag” and waste buildup in the human colon:
“We’re supposed to go to the bathroom about 30 minutes after eating, so you can imagine the backlog that builds up. This backlog is home to unfriendly yeasts and pathogenic bacteria.”
Some beneficial effects and current technologies
These days, so-called probiotic supplements, like psyllium husk, are advertised to cleanse the colon. However, colonic hydrotherapists like Fitzgerald argue that such supplements would be useless if the colon is currently hostile.
It seems that acidity and toxin content are also crucial elements for chemical colon cleansing means. Care must be taken to condition the colon for less invasive colon cleansing methods.
Colonic hydrotherapy is promoted as a quick means of detoxification. Fitzgerald further argues that using water to expel waste from the rear area benefits the kidneys and skin.
Specialized machines are now used in colon clinics to help facilitate colon hydrotherapy sessions. The temperature levels are regulated and the removal of water and waste is also regulated by machines. The reason traditional methods have been abandoned is to make this particular method more enjoyable for customers.
