Homemade colon cleanse recipes abound on the internet. That is a good thing but also it can be a drawback. The good thing about this is that you can tap into a virtual knowledge base of people who practice as physicians and healthcare providers. As always it is prudent to investigate the validity of any information before putting something into your body.
The bad part of this process is the fact that you have many SCAM artists that try to sell there concoctions just to make a buck. This medium is so rife with the advent of SPAM and the like that not a day goes by without someone being bamboozled out of their identity or their hard earned money.
The latin phrase caveat emptor literally means buyer beware. This can be applied to all information you receive. Check out the information you receive and compare it to what you already know about the subject matter.
That given, there a few ingredients that are rather common in off the shelf colon cleanse products. If you try to eat right and balance your diet you may already have a few of them in your kitchen cupboards. This would mean you’d only have to purchase few ingredients at best.
At the base of many good colon cleanse products you are going to find psyllium husks or seeds. Now if you are able to consume enough vegetables and fiber from other sources throughout the day you still will need this ingredient in order to bulk up your stools. The process is quite simple really. When you consume psyllium husks or seeds it acts as a bulking agent. Virtually 87% of the psyllium is able to move through your digestive tract and push out any accumulated gunk, toxins and debris that may be harbored there.
Some people who are vegans or vegetarians have the notion that they do not need to cleanse their colons but this could not be further from the truth. Every human being needs a periodic colon cleanse. The optimal time frame being once a quarter. If you live where you have four seasons…winter, spring, summer and fall, this should trigger within you an optimal time to cleanse. The benefits are so plentiful if you do.
The other ingredient that is quite popular in better colon cleanse products is activated charcoal. This ingredient if commonly used as an emetic in emergency room situations at hospitals all over the world. When a patient comes in and has ingested something that is toxic to the body, most ER technicians will give them an emetic. The emetic acts as a sponge inside the body to absorb the chemicals that would offend or harm the body. Next, the paramedics may force the patient to regurgitate and thereby save their lives.
The activated charcoal does the same thing except it won’t make you regurgitate but will absorb the toxins in the colon and gastrointestinal tract and when the herbs and psyllium husks process through your system you’ll immediately eliminate those toxins and impurities from the body. Therefore, you must make sure that you drink more water than usual. If you regularly drink 4 glasses of water each day. Then when using your homemade colon cleansing recipe double that amount. This will ensure that you have plenty of water in your system to activate the herbs, charcoal and psyllium husks.
Making this recipe is a breeze especially when you can use the ingredients just waiting around in your kitchen cupboards.
