What Is A Colon Cleanse - The Two Types

By:
Alex Gwen Thomson

A colon cleanse (which is also known as colon therapy) is a method used to attempt to rid the body of toxins and other waste from the intestines and colon. The two types of colon cleansing that are common include oral cleansing and colon hydrotherapy.

There are certain supplements that you can purchase over the counter through your local pharmacy which claim to be effective at performing a colon cleanse. This would fall under the heading of an oral colon cleanse. It can include things like herbs, laxatives, dietary fiber, and other dietary supplements.

The other type of colon cleanse is colon hydrotherapy (which is also known as colonic irrigation or colonics). This type of treatment utilizes an enema kit to inject water into your colon. Other liquids and/or herbs are sometimes added to a water mixture.

Many have made claims that a colon cleanse is healthy and beneficial. However, the science supporting this remains to be seen, and is still a matter of subjective opinion. There are individuals who truly believe that a colon cleanse has some major advantages for some people.

Before you consider performing or receiving any kind of alternative medicinal supplements or procedures, you should always contact a medical professional (preferably your regular family doctor). A colon cleanse could pose a potential danger to your system, depending on your current medical condition, and a practitioner who is familiar with your health history can help you determine if such techniques are appropriate for your condition and system.
