Colon Cleansing for a Healthier You
Article by Jane Goldberg
Colon cleansing has become a more familiar term among New York City’s spa and health enthusiasts in recent years. What exactly is colon cleansing? Colon cleansing is sometimes referred to as colon therapy, and is composed of a variety of alternative medical practices which aims to clean and detoxify a person’s colon and intestinal tract by removing toxins like feces.
The colon is actually the common name of the large intestine which is about 1.5 meters in length and consists of the cecum and colon. The large intestine, or the colon, is the second to the last part of the digestive system, the final stage of which is the anus. The colon absorbs water, potassium, some vitamins and salt from solid waste and indigestible food remains before the useless waste material are eliminated from the body. The colon, in fact, is the body’s sewerage system.
Keeping clean on the outside is easy but how do we maintain the cleanliness of our internal body? Ridding one’s body of unwanted toxins and pollutants can only be beneficial to one’s body and detoxifying the colon to flush out the digestive system is associated with colon cleansing.
How does it work?
There are two ways by which colon cleansing takes place – colon hydrotherapy and oral cleansing regimes.
Colon hydrotherapy is also called colonic or colonic irrigation. By its name, colon hydrotherapy involve irrigation by purified warm, low pressure water flowing into the colon using a small tube. This action loosens and flushes out old fecal debris. Oral colon cleansing involve medications that help the colon eliminate body waste products.
Benefits of colon cleansing?
Is colon cleansing really beneficial? If you have ever experienced diarrhea or constipation before, you would know how crippling and uncomfortable they can be. This is where colon cleansing comes in and many even consider it as the best option when it comes to health.
Two benefits of colon cleansing are reduced constipation and elimination of diarrhea. Poor diet, poor water intake and nutrient deprivation leave the intestine walls with a plaque-like substance that is bad for the health. Colon cleansing removes these junk out of the intestine walls, allowing waster to pass off more freely in the case of constipation. IN the case of diarrhea, cleansing assists in solidifying waste and allow body movements to be more solid.
Another benefit of cleansing the colon is the avoidance of colon cancer. An annual routine cleansing is a preventive measure to maintain the smooth run of a person’s colon, especially for one with a family history of colon cancer.
Significant weight loss is the most visible and effective benefit of colon cleansing. An average colon may weigh up to four pounds but an effective cleansing of the colon can flush away from the body as much as ten and even up to thirty pounds of stagnant fecal matter.
Additional benefits from regular colon cleansing are clear skin, increased energy levels, and better absorption of vitamins and minerals from food.
Although colon cleansing is not really a new idea and in fact traces its roots back to ancient Egyptian times, it is still best to do consultations before getting a treatment. When you are decided on getting a cleansing, rely only on licensed and experienced practitioners in New York City and take the first step to a healthier you!
