Homemade Colon Cleanse: The Basics in 3 Steps
Sep 9th, 2008 | By Cindy Soto | Category: Food and DrinksYou’re considering a homemade colon cleanse because you already get the importance of your colon health to your overall well-being.
It’s impossible to feel energetic and alive if a major part of your body is not in good shape.
So, what are you hunting for in a homemade colon cleanse? On the internet you will find everything from recipes to herbs and raw eggs. Just be careful whose advice you choose to follow.
Here are 3 steps to think about before you go and try the next thing:
1 — Do you take full responsibility for your health or do you leave it to others? This is the first and most important step because your attitude changes completely when you realize you’re in the driver’s seat. Doctors and others can give advice, but you will learn and pursue health until you get what you want. Without health, what do you have?
2 — Are you looking to address the root causes of any challenges you are facing with your digestive system? Then buying colon cleansing products or making them yourself by buying the ingredients separately (and for less) will not be enough.
For ongoing health and vitality you need to feed your body the nutrients it needs. And so the best homemade colon cleanse is actually eating as much raw, organic vegetables as you can. They contain all the fiber, enzymes and nutrients you need. And drink clean, toxin free water, at least half your body weight in ounces.
3 — Now, address the colon directly. When you start eating and drinking the right things, you can still give a little push and help the colon eliminate the old waste that has been impacted in the colon walls. Give it a bath. If you’ve never done an enema, it may sound scary, but it’s actually quite easy.
If you really don’t want to do an enema yourself, you can go to a professional colonic therapist. The colon cleaning you get there is much deeper and more thorough than you can do at home.
Don’t be fooled by the claims that it doesn’t matter what you eat during a homemade colon cleanse. They may just be trying to sell you products. You know how vital it is to take charge of your food intake.
Try doing some of the basics steps you already know. You’ll see some wonderful results. That’s because your body is meant to be self-healing. Just get out of the way and give it a little help.
