Homemade Colon Cleanse Basics: 3 Steps to a Vital You

By Cindy Soto


You're considering a homemade colon cleanse because you already get the importance of your colon health to your overall well-being.

How can you have the energy and vitality you desire if your digestive system is out of order?

So, what are you searching for in a homemade colon cleanse? As you search, you will likely come across all sorts of things: from soups to raw eggs. But be cautious in what you choose for your body.

Study these 3 steps before you do anything:

1 -- Do you take full responsibility for your health or do you leave it to others? This is the first and most important step because your attitude changes completely when you realize you're in the driver's seat. Doctors and others can give advice, but you will learn and pursue health until you get what you want. Without health, what do you have?

2 -- You could get a list of the ingredients in the most popular colon cleansing products and then buy the ingredients separately. But are you just addressing the symptoms rather than the cause?

For ongoing health and vitality you need to feed your body the nutrients it needs. And so the best homemade colon cleanse is actually eating as much raw, organic vegetables as you can. They contain all the fiber, enzymes and nutrients you need. And drink clean, toxin free water, at least half your body weight in ounces.

3 -- Now, address the colon directly. When you start eating and drinking the right things, you can still give a little push and help the colon eliminate the old waste that has been impacted in the colon walls. Give it a bath. If you've never done an enema, it may sound scary, but it's actually quite easy.

An enema is great because you can do it at home in comfort and privacy. But you may not feel comfortable doing this and might prefer going to a professional for colonic irrigation. The advantage is that this performs a more thorough cleaning.

Don't be fooled by the claims that it doesn't matter what you eat during a homemade colon cleanse. They may just be trying to sell you products. You know how vital it is to take charge of your food intake.

These 3 basic steps will do more than get you started. Try actually doing them and see for yourself. Your body will begin to cleanse. That's because you are a wonderful, self-healing being. Sometimes your body just needs a little help.
