Two Common Ingredients In Colon Cleansing Products
If you look at the ingredients that are listed on many effective colon cleansing products, you will see a few
common ingredients. These common ingredients each have their own effect on the colon and intestines. Two common
ingredient are so effective that they are in most colon cleansing products as a main ingredient. The two most
common natural ingredients for colon cleansing are Psyllium husk and bentonite clay. Psyllium husk is a plant fiber
and bentonite is an edible volcanic ash.
Psyllium Husk Or Powder
Psyllium husk or powder is a gentle cleanser for the colon. Psyllium husk is known as Isabgol and Plantago syllium.
Psyllium husk will form a gel when you mix it with water and this same gelling action takes place in your digestive
tract.
When psyllium husk passes through your digestive tract, it draws toxins from your system and it will bind with fats
to remove them. Since Psyllium husk has such a drawing effect, it will pull moisture out of your body too. You will
need to replace the water that is lost by drinking extra water when you are taking psyllium husk.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay, also known as volcanic ash, is used as a bulk laxative for colon cleansing. The bentonite clay
binds with heavy metals, chemicals, viruses, bacteria and toxins and can bring bacterial balance to the system.
Bentonite clay can stimulate liver function and improve the digestion. Bentonite clay will draw moisture from the
body so it is important to drink lots of water when you are taking bentonite clay for colon cleansing. There are
different healing clays and it is suggested that if bentonite clay does not work for you to try another healing and
edible clay for colon cleansing.
Colon Cleansing Shake
It is possible to make your own shake from bentonite clay and psyllium husk by blending 1 tablespoon of liquid
bentonite clay and 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk powder in a large glass of water or juice. Shake this mixture and
drink it quickly. Follow this with another glass of juice or water because you want to avoid any psyllium in your
throat since the psyllium will swell. Drink one of these a day or you can work up to two a day. Drink this mixture
for a few weeks to cleanse the colon.
When you understand the natural and common ingredients that are used in many colon cleansing products, you may be
more apt to try them. You can even make your own gentle colon cleanse shake if you are not ready to purchase colon
cleansing products.
