Integrative Colon Cleansing
In today’s toxic world, routine cleansing of the body and colon are essential; over time, we hold 5-20lbs of waste in our colon. Periodic colon cleansing along with our 21-day Detox program are beneficial for overall health and well-being. Diet, lack of exercise, and the emotional state are linked to weight gain, constipation, varicose veins, sinuses, skin problems, and your rate of healing.

Gut Health Is Essential
Low fiber diets have been linked to weight gain, constipation, and varicose veins, which are conditions related to stagnation. Low fiber foods do not provide the stimulation the intestines require for smooth rhythmic contractions; stimulation of the colon with water helps contraction of those muscles, restoring your natural rhythm (also known as peristalsis). This action also causes a massaging vacumn-like action on the other abdominal organs, including the liver, which improves elimination.

Certain foods, gluten, and dairy can cause stagnation and mucus production in the colon, which may slow elimination of wastes from the body, manifesting as sinuses and allergies, skin problems, bloating, and chronic constipation which cannot be relieved, even with adequate water intake, enemas, or stool softeners.

Colon Connection
The central nervous sustem and enteric (colon) nervous system are directly connected through the vagus nerve, which is the longest of the cranial nerves. The colon has hunreds of millions of neurotransmitters and is often referred to as the “second brain.”

Many studies have shown that stress, anxiety, anger, and fear have a profound effect on the digestive system. It is important that we get in touch with our “gut feelings” and sort them out as part of the healing process and healthy living.

Unresolved conflicts with relationships, depression, enduring sorrow from the loss of a loved one, or childhood traumas can have a negative health effect, particularly and readily noticeable on the digestive system.
