There aren't many experts on colonic health left that believe there aren't tremendous benefits of colon cleansing. Most experts acknowledge that there are, but they often disagree on the best method to do it with. There are a lot of methods to choose from, the most popular being colon cleanse diets, teas, and herbal supplements. But the most popular remains the enema.
You used to have to go to a clinic to get an enema done, but now you can purchase an at home enema product and do it yourself. This is less time consuming, less expensive, and just as beneficial as getting an enema at a clinic. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable.
Many people don't know that there are options when it comes to an at home enema, and specifically what liquid should be used to perform it. Below is a list of the top three choices.
1) Water. This is the most popular. Water is put into the colon externally, causing it to naturally flush out the waste material, taking with it all of the undesirable elements that are clogging it. There are potential side effects, mostly caused by using too much water or introducing it into the colon too quickly.
2) Coffee. Coffee enemas have become more and more popular over the years, thanks to endorsements from celebrities like Madonna and Oprah Winfrey. Champions of coffe enemas believe that several aspects of the cofee and coffee bean help to draw out impurities stored in the colon, that water may leave behind. Surprisingly, there are less side effects associated with coffee enemas than with water because less liquid is required during the process.
3) Epsom Salt. An epsom salt enema calls for a specific amount of epsom salt to be mixed into the water and introduced into the colon. The weight of the epsom salt is heavier than that of normal salt and it doesn't easily get absorbed into the system. This makes it pretty safe to use, however, exact directions and amounts should be followed to avoid several unpleasant side effects like dehydration.
