Instructions for Making an Herbal Colon Cleanse

Colon cleansing helps to flush toxins that absorb into the colon from debris. Cleansing the colon helps to prevent systemic intoxication--a poisoning of the entire system. Colon cleansing involves multiple processes, which include fasting, ingesting raw foods and using herbal supplements.

Things You'll Need

• Distilled water Organic fruits and vegetables Slippery Elm tea Garlic Barberry Organic lemons Bentonite Psyllium seed Juicer

Instructions

1. 

   Flush dietary and environmental toxins in the colon with herbs that aid the body's naturally occurring purification processes. When the colon becomes full of toxins, other physical symptoms appear. A cleanse eases related symptoms, such as headaches, bowel problems, mental confusion and rashes.

2. 

   Use Slippery Elm as an infusion or enema to help reduce inflammation and to eliminate waste from the colon. Garlic and Barberry are two herbs that flush the colon of waste. Drink freshly squeezed lemon juice with warm water every morning and evening to cleanse the blood and detoxify the system.

3. 

   Eat only raw vegetables and raw non-citrus fruits for up to two weeks. Apples, bananas, berries and grapes are good choices. Drink a minimum of eight 8 oz. glasses of distilled water every day, which loosens stools.

4. 

   Take a morning walk. Then drink a blend of fresh carrot and apple juice. You can prepare a colonic cleansing drink of 1 tbsp. bentonite, 1 tsp. psyllium seed, 1/2 cup each of apple juice and distilled water. Drink once a day until colon waste no longer has a bad odor.

5. 

   Consider that mild symptoms, such as fatigue and flu-like symptoms, will pass within a few days. The upside is in the long-term. Your bowels will function normally. Feelings of depression and fatigue may vanish. Your energy will be restored.
