If you want a clean colon that will operate with peak efficiency, we have good news and we have bad news. Bad news first: there is no quick fix. Products on the market touted as natural colon cleansers have an effect – sometimes a violent effect – but they won’t deliver a truly clean colon. Better to save your money, spare your health, and leave them on the shelf. But here’s the good news: safe colon cleansing is gentle and natural and within anyone’s reach, and we’re here to tell you how to make it happen.

The Basics of Natural Colon Cleansing

Imagine that you don’t have a bath or a shower, and must rely on a bird-bath-sized basin to keep yourself clean. Over time, in spite of your best efforts, you build up a film of oils, dust and sweat that you’re unable to rinse away properly. Commercial “natural” colon cleansing products are like that birdbath; they can’t really provide an effective cleanse.

A true cleansing of the colon happens over time and, for most of us, also requires some lifestyle changes. Here are our best tips for safe colon cleansing:

Eat Plenty of Salads

Salad comprised of raw vegetables is a natural colon cleanser. (Sorry! Potato and pasta salads don’t count, but there are lots of other delicious options). Raw vegetables not only provide vital nutrients to keep your body humming, but the fiber in them is safe and vital for a healthy colon. Keeping to our bathing metaphor, think of the greens and other veggies in your salads as the loofah. They’ll stimulate your cells while simultaneously loosening the toxins that are lurking, and then escort them out of your body. Starting lunch and dinner with a large salad is one of the best things you can do to naturally and safely encourage a clean, healthy colon.

Juice, Juice, Baby!

If salads are the loofah of the safe colon cleansing process, juice is the best, most magical cleansing solution ever created. It’s true that juicing removes fiber, but the process also breaks down the cell walls of the vegetables, making all of the nutrients available to you immediately. You’re literally flooding your system with the phytonutrients it craves. Your body is spared the energy-consuming task of digesting solid food, and can use that energy instead to clean what needs to be cleaned. Bottom line: even more toxins will be carried to the curb through juicing—a key aspect in natural colon cleansing.

Take Out the Trash

You wouldn’t exfoliate, soap up, and call yourself clean, would you? Of course not! You’d rinse off the dead skin cells and soap film with lots of fresh, clean water. And that’s exactly why you’ll want to schedule a colonic to support your natural colon cleansing. Salads and juices will have loosened up all the gunk and it will be looking for a way out.
