When you set out to clean your colon, you then must make the decision which product or method to use. This article will describe the 5 different types of colon cleanses and which will is most likely optimal for you.

Fasting

Believe it or not, fasting can and has been used for thousands of years for both spiritual and physical well-being. It is also an excellent way to cleanse your body of the many toxins and chemicals that are in the environment. However, the one drawback is that this is probably the most difficult of the group. There are literally dozens and dozens of fasts, but the more common ones are water fasts, juice fasts, and just plain fruit and vegetable fasts. Fasting is effective because it enables the body time to recharge and clean itself while taking in only juices or vegetables that put no strain on your colon.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is also known as colonic irrigation is not for the beginner colon cleanser. This procedure uses a tube that is inserted in the rectum that pumps water at periodic intervals to clean and flush out the colon. Oftentimes the water is enhanced with minerals or other particles to get a thorough cleanse. The process is usually repeated several times, often circulating 2-4 gallons of water throughout the colon and can last over 2 hours.

Enemas

An enema is basically a colonic irrigation on a smaller scale. The good thing about this procedure is that it can be done at home, but many people question its effectiveness. This treatment uses a small pouch of water with a tube that is passed through the rectum to cleanse the colon. Coffee and clay enemas are also known to be used.

Laxative

Laxatives can be considered a band-aid solution to having bowel movements. Their main drawback is that they do not in any way cleanse your colon or flush out any toxins or parasites. They only work to relieve constipation or treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
