Constipation
Constipation
- Signs of an Unclean Colon:
Gas,
flatulence, foul breath, bad body odor, acne, digestive
problems, infections of the kidney, prostate, bladder,
liver and /or gallbladder, excess mucus in the head,
lungs, and /or throat, chronic sickness with all types
of disorders. Begin to be concerned if the person hasn't
had a bowel movement for 3 days. If the five day mark
is approaching, herbal laxatives are necessary. Don't
let it get this far. Our bowels should be moving 2 to
3 times daily.
Prevention:
Prevention
is the best medicine. Eat a proper diet. - predominantly
whole grains with the addition of fresh or frozen fruits
and vegetables. Chew your food thoroughly. Eat slowly.
Avoid red meat and poultry. Eat fish a couple times
per week. Drink plenty of water. Eating meals that contain
both hot and cold foods get the digestive juices flowing
and help the bowels to move. Dehydration is probably
the most common cause of constipation. Exercise daily.
Exercise will help to strengthen and tone the digestive
tract. Do not resist "the call". Go to the bathroom
when you need to. Tobacco and caffeine have a paralyzing
effect on the colon and encourage constipation. Coffee
also destroys the "friendly bacteria" in the large intestine.
Alcohol tends to produce constipation and increases
intestinal mucus. Juices such as prune juice are often
beneficial to help the lower bowel. Do not use a laxative
either medicinal or herbal. Rather use an herbal bowel
tonic, such as Colon
Cleanse. Periodic cleansing of your colon with
Colon
Detox is another way to insure good colon health.
Treatment: The object is to catch constipation early
enough that you do not have to undergo heroic efforts.
Begin with a good herbal laxative such as Colon
Cleanse
and drinking plenty of water or herbal tea. Often a
change in the diet is enough. Rarely are enemas necessary
and even less likely is the use of a latex glove and
manually removing the impacted feces. When the colon
is cleansed, many different disorders and ailments clear
up on their own as the body can begin functioning the
way it was designed to. If there is a fever involved
drink plenty of yarrow, peppermint, red raspberry leaf
or catnip tea (8 to 16 cups in 24 hours). Take Colon
Cleanse beginning with one capsule per
day (take with a meal) and increasing the dosage each
day until you are having 2-3 bowel movements daily.
Using Colon
Detox can cleanse the bowel of impurities
and toxicity. A very good bowel cleansing program can
be found using Colon
Detox in conjunction with Colon
Cleanse.
