Colon Cleans Options
If you’ve read “Five Reasons it’s Time for a Colon Cleans” and are ready to commit to doing it, but don’t know which type of colon cleans is right for you, here is an overview of the different types of colon cleansing methods to help you decide.
Colonic Irrigations – A colonic, or colon hydro therapy, is the practice of inserting a tube into the anus and flushing the colon with water. This process is done in about one to one and a half hours and generally in a clinic.
The advantage of this procedure is that it removes blockage quickly. The disadvantage is that this is an invasive and slightly uncomfortable undertaking. Also, inserting water in the colon can stretch and possibly tear the lining. It does not excrete all of the toxins and mucous and each procedure is approximately $100 - $250, quite costly
Enemas – There are several types of enemas on the market but they mostly only take care of the lower part of the intestines and rectum. They can be quite uncomfortable and don’t cleanse the entire colon. In fact, only the rectum benefits from this treatment.
Oxygen Based Cleans - Ozonated magnesium oxide is the main ingredient in oxygen based colon cleanses. This product is said to “melt” away unwanted fecal matter into a liquid or gas. Again, several types of oxygen based colon cleansing products are on the market, some containing better quality ingredients than others.
Laxatives – Laxatives are not designed to cleans the colon. They are only effective to stop blockage by softening the stool and should be the last consideration and as a temporary solution. There are several different types of laxatives, some harsher than others. If you take medications, Laxatives can interfere with absorption.
Herbal/Dietary Cleans – Herbal colon cleanses are fiber based and taken orally. This non invasive natural way to clear your bowels is readily available and generally does not require having to be close to a bathroom at all times. Be aware of the unnecessary additives and fillers some of these products contain.
Unfortunately, none of these colon cleans options address yet another unpleasant fact, intestinal parasites, which is said to affect 1 out of 6 people. To learn more about colon cleanses and intestinal parasites in detail please see our article on parasites.
