you are feeling slow, logy, low-energy and bloated, if your zest for life seems dimmed, then you may want to look into colonic irrigation. A revival of an old and classic colon cleanse therapy dating back to the ancient Egyptians, these techniques make use of a variety of methods to clean and condition your lower intestinal regions to promote colon health.
Many who use these methods regularly are incredibly pleased with the results, claiming to feel lighter, healthier, more energetic, cleaner. The anecdotal evidence of glossier hair, healthier skin and improved overall well-being is impressive, providing strong testimony for claims of improved colon health as a result of colonic irrigation. |
The use of enema solutions to clean and evacuate the colon, taking debris and accumulations, is very old and has been used throughout the ages. Believed by the ancients to remove encrustations of toxins, the solutions wash away the contents while simultaneously providing soothing and healing ingredients, usually in the form of herbal extracts. While it is possible to perform these techniques in the privacy of the home, many choose to have them performed by trained professionals at such places as spas and clinics.
While there is currently little scientific evidence to support the anecdotal testimony, the techniques can and do help you cope with basic issues involving digestive difficulty, and can go a long way in improving comfort and confidence…and further testing remains to be done before a final evaluation of secondary benefits can be determined. The strength of the testimony would indicate that there are benefits to be seen, in at least some circumstances.
The inclusion of additives and natural supplements further confuses the results of testing: these substances can provide strong medical benefits when delivered using methods that direct them to the desired target. In the case of colonic irrigation the direct application to the lower bowels puts soothing, healing substances in direct contact with tissue that may be irritated, injured, or sensitive, which could promote colon health and comfort.
Absorption - an herbal approach
A tube may be defined as a long thin object which does not contain much, leading to the use of the word as a popular insult in Scotland! In terms of very basic anatomy, we can think of the body essentially as a tube and the digestive system, rather like the hole in a doughnut, as still being in essence part of the outside world.
All Natural Remedies for Parasites
This article outlines some of the horrors of parasites, for instance, the pork tapeworm which will only mature in humans. It can live in the gut for up to ten years and grow to be ten feet long. It can produce up to a million eggs a day and the larvae can migrate into almost any of the organs of the body. Some of the parasites discussed include: Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis and Giardia lamblia which one studied found present in 27% of patients with chronic fatigue.
The list of complaints that can be caused by parasitic infections is very long indeed. They include Irritable Bowel Syndrome and almost any gastrointestinal tract symptoms, but they can also be systemic and may include: autoimmune disease, skin rashes and eruptions, anorexia, low back pain, fatigue, fever and vomiting. There are some powerful anti-parasitic drugs available but, though effective, they are extremely powerful systemic drugs that can cause significant side effects.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
The various causes of Candida infection are discussed, one of the main ones being the administration of antibiotics, which kill resident 'friendly' bacteria (flora) in the gut, leading to increased permeability of the gut wall (leaky gut syndrome). However, certain physical conditions can also predispose a patient to different species of Candida (e.g. Candida albicans, Candida krusei and Candida glabrata): HIV, cancer (particularly with chemotherapy treatment), immunodeficiency associated with long-term chronic fatigue syndrome and diabetes, arthritis and asthma, and those on the contraceptive pill. It has also been found that other environmental factors can lead to a degree of immunodeficiency, providing a suitable environment for its growth: poor adrenal function, high-sugar diet (refined), poor nutrition and gastrointestinal surgery. |
