Using colon hydrotherapy and natural remedies
to relieve constipation
by Cheryl Ashby, C.C.T.

No one wants to talk about " It " but chances are — if you're in a room full of people — more than half are experiencing some form of constipation.

They all may not feel the obvious, discomforting signs of constipation, but many will not have had a good, normal bowel movement, in days or weeks.

The two basic types of constipation are — organic and functional.

Organic constipation is a result of some physical change, obstruction, or distortion in your colon. One of the many benefits of colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation, is that these distortions and obstructions may be removed.

Functional constipation can result from:

• Not following a proper diet.
  
  
• Not drinking enough fluids daily.
  
  
• Not having a balanced emotional health.
  
  
• And not having a good lifestyle...

A sedentary lifestyle can be a leading contributor to chronic constipation.

While a good, active lifestyle, promotes proper movement of digested foods through the intestines and colon.

Whether or not you suffer from organic, or functional constipation... Constipation is a condition where the fecal matter traveling through your colon, remains too long in your colon before exiting the rectum. Constipation is a symptom, not a disease.

Constipation is a condition warning you that your colon is not working properly, or that you may have an undiagnosed gastrointestinal disease.

You may be constipated because of recent changes in your diet and lifestyle. These changes can cause an imbalance in your body. Constipation is a symptom that many people try to ignore — because they're too busy — or attempt to get rid of, by using unnatural and potentially dangerous, over-the-counter laxatives.

Drugstore laxatives should be avoided when you have constipation. They can become habit-forming, damage your colon and cause serious side effects, if used too long. Sometimes these laxative drugs actually create or exacerbate, the very problem you're trying relieve — constipation.

To keep your body in chemical balance, it is important to only use natural remedies for constipation. Natural remedies, including certain herbs and foods, can give your colon the nutrients it needs to rebuild and reactivate natural peristaltic action.

As you use colon cleansing natural remedies, keep in mind that one particular remedy may not work the same for you, as it does for someone else. You may have to try a different remedy, or increase the dosage, before you find the perfect cleansing combination that works best for you.

Experiment to find out which remedy works best for you.

There are many different natural remedies to choose from... But, keep in mind that most remedies should only be used for a short time. Depending on your current colon health — and the severity of constipation you are experiencing — you may only need to take a natural colon cleanser 1-3 times per day for a week. Others may use a low dose maintenance program to prevent the constipation conditions from returning.

And if your really want to see dramatic improvements in your colon function, consider using the services of a colon hydrotherapist together in combination with a powerful, all natural colon cleansing product.

Frequently we are asked, “Do you use an intestinal cleanser to prepare for colon therapy... to relieve constipation... or to maintain good colon health and hygiene?"

The answer is definitely . . . Yes!

We've tried many different intestinal cleansers over the years and their effectiveness varies greatly. All are dependent on your preexisting colon health, and the amount of water you consume on a daily basis.

The use of an intestinal cleanser may NOT be appropriate for those who have particularly sensitive, or diseased colons... But, for the vast majority, there are exceptionally good reasons to use an all natural colon intestinal cleanser!
