Don’t Cleanse if You Have Constipation
August 27th, 2010Before beginning a body cleansing program, be sure your colon is moving properly. If you are not getting one bowel movement every day, it would be a good idea to work on regaining regularity prior to starting a body cleanse. There are a number of natural ways to cure your constipation:
Laxative teas or herbs. The herbs cascara sagrada and senna are the fundamental ingredient of many consumer laxative products. Ex-Lax, for instance, is merely a small amount of senna shrouded in yummy chocolate. Of these two herbs, senna will tend to cause abdominal cramps. If you intend to take an herbal laxative long-term, choose cascara sagrada. Both herbs can be bought in capsules. Take these herbs at bedtime for a bowel movement in the morning.
Enemas. If you desire quick relief from constipation, enemas are the best choice. You can get an enema bag and do your enema at home, or buy the prepackaged Fleet enema. Both types of enemas are safe to utilize on an infrequent basis, but you should not exceed once each week.
Colonics. The colonic irrigation is a more in depth enema, administrated by a qualified practitioner. During a colonic, water is moved in and out of your colon repeatedly. A colonic gives your colon a wholesome cleansing and will enhance the muscle tone in your colon. Colonics should only be done once per month.
