Colon cleansing is a therapy that aims at ridding the colon (which is essentially the last portion of the digestive tract) of toxins and fecal matter accumulated there. Although quite an olden treatment, colon cleansing is still a rather controversial therapy, with some ‘experts’ expressing doubts as regards its benefits. According to people who use it regularly – and who often go to great lengths to get it – as well the alternative medicine practitioners who offer it, colon cleansing does offer a number of benefits.
1) The first benefit of colon cleansing is that it rids a person using it of common gut ailments, including constipation with which so many people struggle. Many other stomach problems that would otherwise be associated with various micro organisms are also addressed by colon cleansing. The later is because, apparently, a belly in which fecal matter has accumulated makes a very comfortable living environment for most of the pathogens to thrive in – with the pathogens so resident in a person going on to cause various diseases in him or her. So we end up with a situation where although colon cleansing is a ‘physiological’ treatment, it goes beyond addressing ‘physiological illnesses’ like constipation, and even addresses stomach problems said to be caused by pathogens.
2) The second benefit of colon cleansing, according to its users and practitioners, is that of reinvigorating the person on whom it is performed. In other words, after a colon cleansing session, you are likely to find yourself feeling more energetic, and thus more inclined to ‘get things done.’ It would seem that the accumulation of toxins that colon cleansing gets rid of tends to sap the person in whom they are accumulated of energy. This is, of course, a situation which colon cleansing reverses, thus restoring energy to the user.
3) The third benefit of colon cleansing, again according to its users and practitioners, is that of skin rejuvenation. A person having colon cleansing performed on them is likely to start noticing that their skin getting livelier within days of getting the procedure performed. It would seem that the accumulation of toxins inside the colon has the effect of interfering with the skin appearance, a situation which colon cleansing reverses. The effect that colon cleansing has on the skin (which is the biggest organ on the body) is seen as evidence to the positive effects that the procedure has on other organs in the body. After all, isn’t it said that it is possible to make conclusions about the health of one’s inner organs just by looking at their skin?
4) The fourth benefit of colon cleansing, in some people, is that it can lead to sustainable weight loss. It would seem that the accumulation of the toxins that colon cleansing rids one of is a major cause behind some cases of unhealthy weight. As such, it becomes nigh impossible to lose such weight without getting rid of those toxins, which is exactly what colon cleansing does. Indeed, there have been cases of people who struggled all their lives with various weight issues, people who had all but given up on the hope of ever regaining healthy weight, but who came to find a lasting solution to their weight problems through colon cleansing.
