Colon Cleansing

Today I had an email from a person asking advice about colonics and her questions and the answwers apply to many people, so I have included them here. She asked me :

Why did nothing release in my colonic? and

Can a colonic a irrigation regime really rejuvenate my sluggish system?

The answers include understanding the role of diet in colon health, the effects of dehydration on the colon, and how stress held in the colon can also slow us down.

An enema is a simple flush out of the lowest part of the colon, the rectum and descending colon with water. Enemas can be self adminstered and kits which can be obtained from wholistic health specialists online, are inexpensive allowing the healthy practice of maintaining inner hygeine and colon cleansing to be carried out at home, or by taking your kit with you, as you travel. Enemas are used as an option for cleansing the colon on healing and detox retreats where there is no colon irrigation system installed.

The colon is the body’s largest eliminative channel, but as a result of neglect and abuse it can become blocked or slow down. Congested and toxic toxins, fermentation and putrefaction can seep back into the bloodstream and so poisoning every organ in the body. The fifty million pounds that are spent annually on laxatives in the UK clearly indicates that effective elimination is a major problem for many people and the resultant auto-intoxication, literally self-poisoning, is a causative factor in many serious diseases.

There are a number of herbs which are traditionally known to assist in the cleansing of the colon. They can be used alone or alongside colonics or enemas to deepen the cleansing effects of those treatments. One of the advantages of taking a herbal cleanse is that taken orally, the herbs cleanse and detoxify the whole digestive system, the stomach, the small intestine and the large intestine.

Many people ask what is colonic irrigation and what are the benefits? Sandra Hillawi trained as a Colonic Irrigation Therapist in 2000 when she qualified as a Master Herbalist with the College of Herbs and Natural Healing. At her healing and detox retreats Sandra uses various forms of colon cleansing, including colonics, herbal cleansing and enemas.
