Elimination and Health
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Proper elimination is crucial to overall health. If you’re not having one bowel movement each day, you may want to work on achieving regularity for colon health and weight management. There are any number modes to remedy chronic constipation:
Colonics. The recently fashionable colonic is a more complex enema, administrated by a trained practitioner. During a colonic, water is flushed in and out repeatedly. A colonic will give your colon a thorough cleansing and improve the muscle in your colon. Colonics should be done at the very most once every month.
Enemas. If you wish speedy relief from constipation, enemas are the foremost colon stimulative. You can buy an enema bag or use the packaged Fleet enema. Both of the enemas are safe to use on a periodic basis, but you should not exceed one time each week.
Laxative herbs and teas. The herbs cascara sagrada and senna are the chemical cornerstone of many commercial laxatives. Ex-Lax, for instance, is nothing more than a small amount of the herb senna swimming in delicious chocolate. Be aware that senna will be given to stimulate occasional cramping. If you intend to supplement with an herbal laxative long-term, it’s best to choose cascara sagrada. These herbs can be bought in capsules or tablets. Take them at nighttime for a morning bowel movement.
