Depending on the size of your dog there are two different types of products that can be used to give an enema. For small and toy breeds a plastic syringe that holds approximately 2-3 tablespoons of liquid is all that is required but for medium to large breeds an enema bag with a rubber nozzle will be required. Remember that it is not just the volume of liquid introduced to the body at one time that is important; it is the routine introduction of liquids that helps, especially in cases of dehydration due to vomiting and diarrhea.

Start with 2-3 tablespoons of warm but not hot water for small dogs or up to one pint of warm but not hot water for larger breeds. To this water add a few drops of lemon juice and a few grains of sea salt and a pinch of potassium chloride to help with rehydration. If you are only trying to relieve constipation, the salt and potassium chloride will not be necessary. In most dehydration situations this process will need to be repeated every 4 hours, but only make up enough for a single use at a time.

Start by mixing the liquid and testing to make sure it is warm but not hot. Add the liquid to the syringe or enema bag, then lubricate the nozzle or end with vegetable oil. Since the dog will have a bowel movement within a few minutes of the procedure and their may be some leakage, this should be completed outdoors or in a bathtub or sink. A partner is essential to help you hold the dog facing away from you. Grasp the tail and gently lift, then insert the syringe or enema nozzle into the rectum until the end is completely inserted. Gently depress the plunger or squeeze the enema bag until all liquid is in the dog's rectum. Remove the nozzle and allow the dog to move about. In severely dehydrated dogs the liquid will actually be absorbed by the colon, which is exactly what you want to have happen. If there are any problems resulting from the dog enema, consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Hopefully, these steps will help you dog get back on track and feel better. Your dog's happiness is always important to any family. I know that I love my dogs and they mean the world to me and I will do anything for them.For more information recommended by Kelly Marshall, see these recent articles Is your Dog's Food Responsible For His Behavior? and Microchips For Dogs Make Sense.]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-healthy-benefits-of-an-enema-colon-cleanse http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-healthy-benefits-of-an-enema-colon-cleanse#comments Sun, 12 Aug 2007 09:25:01 +0000 colon cleansecolon healthcleansing the colontoxins in the bodythis means thatenemahealth benefits http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-healthy-benefits-of-an-enema-colon-cleanse enema? Well for cleaning the colon, the enema can certainly be our friend. But what does an enema colon cleanse involve?

Cleansing the colon is an important aspect in keeping a healthy body. Many experts say that if colon health is not maintained a number of other problems are likely to manifest, either in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, or in other parts of the body. If poor elimination occurs in the colon, waste builds up and the levels of toxins grow. These can leak into the blood stream and affects our whole body

An enema may very well be the answer in helping us to having a cleaner colon and fewer toxins in the body.

An enema is a medical procedure that introduces liquid into the colon and rectum through the anus. Enemas are usually carried out to help a patient with constipation, but in more recent times it has been used for improving colon health and eliminating toxins.

It may sound like uncomfortable process, and there can indeed be some difficulty initially taking in the liquid, but once mastered it is an easy procedure to set up and follow.

Many people are able to use enemas at home, with little difficulty, although it is important to make sure that the equipment used is cleaned correctly between uses.

There are a number of health benefits associated with using an enema. Some of this health benefits are:

=95 Improved bowel movements. Because the toxins and the waste build up inside your colon, the passageway becomes narrower. This means that additional waste will not be able to pass through as easily, leading to constipation. An enema will be able to clear the blockage thus allowing for better bowel movement and elimination of waste.

=95 Enhanced levels of energy. Because your body is no longer wasting energy fighting off the toxins which are being released into the system from the colon, killing bacteria and repairing damaged cells. This generally means that you will feel livelier, healthier and more alert.

=95 Risk of contracting other illnesses and diseases is lowered. Because fecal matter can contain bacteria and toxins, their build up in the colon poses a great threat as they may enter the blood stream. This may result in infections and potentially diseases and illnesses, with an enema, you can dispose of waste and fecal matter in a timely manner reducing the risk of the bacteria and toxins entering the bloodstream.

The enema colon cleanse process is not difficult to master, and it can be effective. However, it works more effectively if introduced alongside a colon friendly diet, that is high in fiber rich foods, low in fat and red meat, and low in processed foods.

Below is an effective way to use this procedure:

The use of enemas can be beneficial for dogs that has the following conditions; constipation, during fasting, dehydration, excessive vomiting, bowel irritation caused by bone fragments or the presence of spoiled food or garbage in the digestive tract.

Before administering this procedure, make sure that you only use pure water that is warm but not hot (test it on your wrist to make sure). Use about two tablespoons for a small dog and up to a pint for a large dog. Add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the water and administer the mixture with a plastic or rubber syringe for about 2 to 3 minutes. For large dogs, you can use and enema bag and a nozzle.

Here is how to do it: You must lubricate the end of the syringe with vegetable oil. Have someone help you hold the dog gently while he stands in a tub or on the ground. Insert the nozzle carefully into the rectum. Using gentle and consistent pressure against the anus (to prevent the fluid from leaking out), slowly fill the colon. If the solution does not flow in easily, pull back on the nozzle or syringe and slightly adjust the angle. Expect a bowel movement to begin within a few minutes. You may administer the enema once or twice a day for a couple of days.

In many cases, dogs that are dehydrated are simply retaining the fluid. This occurs when the colon absorbs the fluid which the body needs. Therefore, enemas are an excellent way to administer fluid therapy. Under these circumstances, administer the enema about every four hours or until fluid is no longer retained.

If a dog is having difficulty keeping water in his stomach due to heavy vomiting, an enema can help introduce the fluid and salts that are needed to replace those lost through vomiting. Using the solution as described earlier, add a pinch of sea salt plus a pinch of potassium chloride. The same solution can also be used to help a dog suffering from prolonged diarrhea. In this case, administer the enema every four hours or until fluid is no longer retained.

A major part of the food is absorbed in the intestine. If the intestine does not function properly, then the entire body suffers. Colon Cleanse is a safe and natural way of removing accumulated waste from the digestive tract.

Methods for Colon Cleanse With so many options for Colon Cleanse available, you can choose any of them for detoxifying your digestive system. Juice fasting, enema, and the use of laxatives are some of the simplest methods of Colon Cleanse. For best results, you should go for Colon Cleanse at a retreat, but if you cannot, then the following methods can be tried at home.

Juice Fasting Juice fasting for Colon Cleanse is more beneficial than simple fasting. This is because the high fibers found in vegetables and fruits are ideal for cleaning up the colon. However, they are harder for the intestine to digest. This leads the intestine to overwork itself when people eat just fruits and vegetables for colon cleansing.

An essential part of Colon Cleanse, apart from removing the toxic waste from the digestive system, is to let the system rest. High fiber foods do not allow the digestive system to rest. This is why consuming fruit juice is seen as more beneficial for colon cleanse than consuming whole vegetables or fruits.

Enema Enema involves washing out the colon with water to remove toxic waste. Enema is one of the most effective methods for colon cleanse. Enema kits are available in the market. These can be used at home for colon cleansing. The first time you use an enema kit, you may feel slight cramps, but this is simply because the hard waste inside the colon is being removed.

Laxatives The fibers found in fruits and vegetables are indigestible, so they behave like natural laxatives, helping flush out the waste from the colon. Sometimes, the fibers in fruits and vegetable cause diarrhea or cramps, so switching to enema is a safer method. Other safe laxatives are prune juice and senna tea. However, you must consult your health care specialist before using these methods.

Colon cleanse is something most people may hesitate to talk about, but once you undergo the therapy, you can feel the difference it makes to your lifestyle. You feel energetic, enthusiastic and less lethargic. Those with irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and other chronic problems of the digestive system find almost instant relief after they undergo Colon cleanse.

Be sure to boil thoroughly or perk first. A garlic enema can be made by emptying two capsules of garlic into two quarts of warm water and mixing well.

The following steps should be followed when taking an enema. First, lie on your left side and let in to 1 cup of enema water. Next, massage the lower left side of your abdomen, working especially hard on any lumps or ridged areas that you may feel, as these are deposits of fecal matter. After four to five minutes of massaging, let more water in. Then, continue to massage across the abdomen and down your right side, as this is where the greatest problems occur. Make sure to be especially thorough in massaging this area. Do not retain the liquid if you feel the need to eliminate. Instead, simply start over. Most people have expelled brown or grey mucous, black fleck-like matter, parasites, and other surprising matter.

Slantboard exercises are extremely important in helping all pocketed lazy bowels and are a great help for colon problems, prolapsus, and gas. It also regenerates the vital nerve center of the brain. Most people are able to use a slantboard. However, those with high blood pressure or any other problem that would contra-indicate a slantboard exercise should not use this method. The mini trampoline is probably one of the best devices ever invented, as it can increase circulation, empty the lymph glands, exercise the heart, and increase energy. It is recommended that one jump every day while they are on a seven day cleanse.

Most individuals should stay on a colon cleanse for at least a full seven days and repeat this program twice a year. This is especially true for those who are interested in the prevention and maintenance of good health. People with chronic health problems should repeat the cleanse four times a year and also follow a building program in the meantime. Nutritionists often suggest a year round use of the bentonite, but many believe that the bentonite cleanse should be alternated with a building program that is individually designed to meet each person's specific needs. This program should include a variety of herb formulas that will help to rebuild the colon and supplements that are specific for individual problems.

It is suggested that people cut down on processed foods such as white sugar and flour where ever possible. Also, use foods that have the least amount of chemical additives like artificial food colors and preservatives. Whenever possible, eat mainly foods that spoil because of not having added preservatives, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, use a wide variety of vegetables, raw or cooked in way that keeps in the most of the nutrition. When one does eat frozen foods, the fluid released in thawing often does have nutritional value. Make sure to avoid a steady intake of junk foods like candy and soda drinks.

Therefore, substitute natural sweets with fruit juices when you can do so. Also, exercise regularly and take into consideration your age and general health. While taking a colon cleanse, it is usually a good idea to consume only liquids for the first two -- three days to help elimination. Consult your doctor if on medications so that a colon cleanse does not conflict with your medications.More information on health and wellness is available at VitaNet ®, LLC Health Food Store. http://vitanetonline.com/]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/enema-or-irritable-bowel-syndrome-constipation http://www.artwoo.com/article/enema-or-irritable-bowel-syndrome-constipation#comments Sat, 15 Apr 2006 14:50:02 +0000 irritable bowel syndromecolon cleansecolon detoxificationhigh fiber foodsabdominal crampsenemaputrefaction http://www.artwoo.com/article/enema-or-irritable-bowel-syndrome-constipation enema? Do you suffer from constipation? If you suffer from abdominal cramps, bloating and some diarrhea then you might be a sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome. If you are looking for relief, good news...

The subtle symptoms creep into our life one at a time until we find a barrage of complications we never had before. Constipation is the most obvious difference, then pain, abdominal cramps and bloating followed with occasional diarrhea, all add up to irritable bowel syndrome.

Our lifestyles have shaped our habits to fit an unnatural pattern of elimination. We eat and rush to work or school, suppressing the natural elimination that should occur within 20 minutes after eating.

Some individuals may wait as long as a week between bowel movements. This only complicates the impaction, toxic build up in the bowel, which comes back into the blood stream as toxic waste, and creates a need for laxatives or enemas.

Enema can be a natural remedy for irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. The early 1900's medical practice was that when a patient was admitted to the hospital for any ailment, the patient first received an enema. A bit messy and inconvenient, enema is usually a last resort. Diet and intestinal cleanse using all natural herbs has become more popular and healthy.

Colon cleanse has become a buzzword as it has been determined that the origin of most disease starts in the colon. The impaction of fecal matter that lines the walls of the colon without being eliminated can easily be 15 pounds. Decay and putrefaction in the bowl throws the immune system in extreme overload, ridding the body of toxins and trying to fight off disease. If the immune system fails, disease grows in the body.

Irritable bowel syndrome can be controlled before permanent damage is done to the colon. Herbal colon cleanse is the most effective on a long-term use. Herbal colon detoxification is also called colon cleanse. High fiber foods in the diet are natural scrubbing agents for the colon to cleanse the cilia that absorb nutrients.

Constipation is not all corrected with a laxative. Drink 5 glasses of water a day. Avoid excess bread and pastry. Augment your diet with foods high in fiber. Choose an intestinal formula supplement that will stimulate the peristaltic action in your bowel and strengthens the colon muscles.

Avoid harsh laxatives that are not all natural. Dependence on over the counter laxatives can lead to weakened elimination muscles and loss of natural body function.

It is claimed that all habits can be learned in 21 days. In the next three weeks try an intestinal herbal formula and make time to eliminate within 30 minutes of eating. Your body is designed to heal itself if you do not override the master plan. James Zeller writes for numerous alternative health websites and blogs.

You are not alone in your plight; nearly half of the American population suffers from some kind of colon related disorders. Did you know that even a common person with no apparent physical dysfunction carries about 10 to 25 pounds of fecal wastes originated from undigested food and wastes that were not eliminated? This fact provides you with a solid reason why should you take recourse of colon cleansing at regular intervals. Colon cleansing is a kind of preventative procedure by which parasites and other hardened materials gathered on the walls of colon for years are removed. A Colon Cleanse at least once a year followed by a regular adherence to colon maintenance routine ensures you an overall healthy wellbeing.

Consult our brief guide to learn about the five major colon cleanse products which are simple but effective.

Enemas

Most of us have been introduced to the experience of enema application in our childhood. Probably our grandparents and theirs also had the same experience. However, enema is used in the early stages of constipation and they effectively remove the materials clogged in the rectum or lower part of the colon. But it is beyond the power of the enema to eliminate the compacted wastes from colon walls. There are also many people who do not like the enema to be pushed through their rectum cavity, you know why if you have undergone the experience ever in your life.

Enemas are of mainly three varieties: water enemas, coffee enemas, and clay enemas.

Colon hydrotherapy

It is a procedure that involves fusing of warm purified water into the colon with the help of a disposable plastic tube that is inserted through the anus. This process can be performed both at your home as we4ll as in the clinic by trained professionals. Colon hydrotherapy is an excellent procedure to get your body's elimination system thotoughly cleansed. Once the impacted waste materials are removed from your colon, the organ resumes its normal functioning to bring back your health and vitality.

Oxygen Colon Cleansers

This product is regarded as the best product available for cleansing your colon as it is the only full intestinal cleanser which is designed to melt away the compacted wastes from the colon through oxidation reduction reaction and the wastes are eliminated in form of gas and water. The best thing about this product is it stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria in our colon that aid in our digestion in stead of destroying them as happens in case of using the products like psyllium.

Laxatives

Laxatives are applied in the preliminary stages of constipation and they are effective at clearing the bowels, they can not clear the impacted materials from colon and thus can not cleanse.

Herbal Cleansers

These colon cleansing products are based on psyllium husk which are available in pill or capsule form. Rich in both fiber and mucilage Psyllium acts like a hard sponge by stimulating an automatic contraction of the walls of the bowel.

Each of the cleansing regimens comes with its respective advantages and disadvantages. The above information provides you an inkling on which product is suitable for the condition of your colon.

So, where should you start? I suggest a gentle cleanse for the colon initially to gauge the results that you have.

There are a number of different approaches to cleansing the colon, and each has its own process. Some of them tend to be carried out by a trained individual at a spa or clinic, and others can be carried out at home.

Let's have a look at some of the options, considering both the good and the bad:

Colonic hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation) =96 This procedure is normally carried out at a spa or clinic and it is practised by trained staff. The process involves the insertion of a tube into the colon and liquid is then used to flush away any waste material that may be present.

It is a painless process, and one session can clean the whole colon.

The issue that people sometimes struggle to be happy about with this procedure is that it requires a third party to be involved in the process with you. Also, it is worth checking the price to ensure that a treatment is within your budget

Taking Enemas =96 Enemas have been used for thousands of years as an approach to treating digestive disorders. In involves inserting a tube into the rectum and allowing fluid to enter the rectum and colon. This then softens waste that may be present in the lower colon and stimulates bowel movement.

There are a number of different enema kits that can be used at home. They are most likely to be sold at a pharmacy near you.

The downsides of the enema are that it can only tend to bath the rectum and a small part of the colon, and it can be a little awkward to set up for someone new to colon cleansing.

Taking an enema is gentle and considered safe, although it can take some time to get used to it, and initially there may be stomach cramping until you get used to them.

Herbal preparations and colon cleansing kits =96 There is a huge variety of these on the market and so discussing each one if not feasible in this article. However, they all tend to work in a similar way, by inducing a laxative affect and attempting to "scrub" the bowels of any lingering waste material.

Some also contain ingredients that are intended to soothe the bowels and help with the healing process.

Many of these kits also encourage changes in diet, Which leads us on to.

Dietary changes =96 The main cause for colon health problems is likely to be the diet that a person has been following to date.

So, it stands to reason that changing the diet can help the body recover.

There tends to be too little roughage in most people's diet in the "industrialised" nations, and far too much food that is high in fat and which has been overly processed.

Increasing the intake of fiber, and reducing the foods that are high in fat and have little nutritional value (like most processed foods) can help the colon regain health naturally.

Initially, aim to eliminate all foods that do not contain some form of fiber. Do this for a few days to increase bowel movements.

Also, increase the volume of water consumed. This will help to flush out the toxins in the system and ease the removal of waste.

The most gentle cleanse for your colon is to follow a high fber, low fat diet. This will slowly bring the colon back to normal health, although it will take some time.

The common cold and flu, headaches, sinus, body and breath odor, and even diarrhea and constipation can be cured with a natural colon cleanse.

Digestive problems, poor eyesight and poor memory along with back and knee pain and even stress are best fought with a colon cleanse. Many people feel greater alertness and a rejuvenated feeling after undergoing colon cleanse. Some people have also reported an increase in the sex drive after undergoing colon cleanse.

Improvements after Colon Cleanse A natural colon cleanse, release the bad toxins from the body. It reduces the chances of having any type of colon problems in future. A clear mind and healthy body is the result of a colon cleanse. Great skin and clear attractive features are possible with natural colon cleansing.

How to Do Colon Cleansing The colon cleanse can be professionally done in a clinic, by taking some herbs or medication. A machine is used to do the cleansing. This gives instant results. At home enema can be also be used. It is a good way of colon cleansing. Enema is also done as alternative healing and wellness therapy.

Or are you a person who has a family history of bad colon? If you happen to fall in any one of these categories, be cautious-- there is every possibility of your developing a colorectal cancer!

Well, it was not my intention to upset you or scare you. The objective of this article is to draw your attention to the truths of modern living where we ourselves are responsible for inviting such curses as colon cancer. Now that the holistic approach of modern medical science puts so much emphasis on maintaining a healthy colon, as a toxic colon is where most diseases originate, we are well aware of the value of a healthy lifestyle. But a simple and hygienic lifestyle is not all. Just like we take so much trouble in cleaning our outer body, the same way we have to go for a periodic cleansing and detoxification of the internal organs to keep our system free from toxin build up. And this is precisely what a colon therapy tries to accomplish.

You can rarely find a person who never in his or her life has taken the enema to relive himself from the bout of constipation. It helps to force out the bowels that are not coming out naturally for a prolonged period, say five to seven days. In these cases enema becomes helpful to clear the fecal matters clogged in the lower portion of colon. Colon therapy is basically similar to enema application, only works more thoroughly in flushing out the colon, or large intestine by cleansing a larger area that is nearly five feet in length. In the process the entire colon tract is cleared of the toxins, fecal wastes and bacteria that eventually clog the internal walls of colon.

Colon therapy is a simple procedure in which a disposable plastic tube is inserted through the rectum and through this tube a specific amount of purified water is gently fused into your colon. A machine or pump is used to supply the fluid into colon. An abdominal massage is also the part of the therapy, as it helps to dislodge the impacted feculent matters from the colon. After the flushing, the pump of the machine is reversed and the wastes are sucked back through the same tube through which water reached the colon. The therapy requires to be repeated for more than one sessions and each session lasts for up to sixty minutes.

Colon therapy brings you immense health benefits. In addition to improving the general health of the colon by detoxifying the organ, it also stimulates the growth of helpful bacteria residing in the colon. You get rid of the typical symptoms of colon dysfunctions like constipation, indigestion or fatigue through a colon therapy. Generally the people who have undergone this procedure are reported to feel more energetic and lighter. You also have every possibility of getting back the glow of your skin.

So make it a point to find out time for undergoing colon therapy at regular intervals, as suggested by your physician and live a life happier and healthier.

When the colon is clogged up with accumulated feces, it fails to do its job properly.

In fact, an unhealthy colon could poison all other organs. If feces is not removed in the body within twenty four hours, it gets deposited in the colon walls. This would release harmful toxins and poisonous gases. The blood would then get polluted, which would eventually infect the organs it runs through.

An ancient practice for cleaning the colon of these toxic wastes is colon hydrotherapy. Some may call it colonic irrigation or simply colon therapy. Basically, it is the process of injecting safely determined amounts of water at defined intervals. The whole treatment may take awhile depending on the severity of colon problems.

Colon hydrotherapy is similar to enema. Enema is also a treatment for cleansing the colon. Their only difference is that colon hydrotherapy is much more extensive. Whereas enema only cleanses the lower portion, colon hydrotherapy aims to clean the entire colon, which is roughly five feet in length.

Enema has been around for several centuries already. However, complete cleansing of the colon has gained prominence only in the late 19th century. This started with the popularity of the idea of autointoxication. It has been suggested that the body could poison itself by the release of toxins from accumulated fecal matter in the colon into the blood stream.

During colon hydrotherapy, a patient is asked to lie on his side or back. The therapist will then insert a soft plastic tube into the patient's rectum. A measured amount of filtered water is then pumped into the colon. Depending on the practitioner, the water may also contain "purifying" substances such as herbs and natural enzymes.

The colon hydro therapist may start gently massaging the patient's abdomen to aid in releasing fecal deposits in the intestinal walls. When done, the water would then be vacuumed back using the same tube and out into a closed waste container. The whole process is done gently and there are no mess or any foul odor during and after the treatment.

With several repetitions of this process, the whole treatment may take up to an hour. The total water used in these numerous treatments is approximately 20 gallons. Almost all of the water pumped in is removed by the end so there's no need to run to the toilet afterward.

Should you decide to give yourself an extensive colon cleaning, you would have to choose your practitioner carefully. The treatment is sensitive, and thus you would have to ensure that the facility and equipment to be used are clean. Usually, all equipments used are disposable and well-sterilized to avoid any infections.

It is to be noted that colon hydrotherapy is considered to be an alternative medical treatment. Some colon hydro therapists voluntarily go through a certification process. There are also several organizations of colon hydro therapists. One example is the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy or I-ACT in the United States.

For general health checks, getting a colon hydrotherapy once a year should be enough. However, pregnant women in their third trimester should not undergo this treatment. Colon hydrotherapy is also not recommended for those with severe hemorrhoids, abdominal hernia, heart disease, amoebic dysentery, and diverticulitis among other health problems. You would have to discuss your present medical condition first with your colon therapist to make sure there would be no complications.

Currently this alternative medical practice is regulated in some states. Several orthodox medical establishments insist that colon hydrotherapy is just an expensive laxative. It typically costs around $65 to $80 in the United States.

There are no scientifically proven therapeutic claims for colon hydrotherapy, however. In fact, several patients have reported of a much energized and lighter feeling after the treatment. There are also evidences suggesting that colon hydrotherapy helps in treating numerous ailments such as indigestion, headaches, allergies, skin problems and even joint problems.

Complementary treatments to clean the colon include aerobic exercises and a low fat, high fiber, vegetarian diet. Even licensed medical doctors agree that red meat and fatty foods are the major contributors to colon health problems.

It is there in the air we breathe. It is there in the food we eat. It is there in the products we use. You just cannot escape them. Since we cannot avoid them, the only other option is to eliminate them. Detoxifying our body means cleansing it and flushing out all the toxins from it. The liver and the kidneys are the main organs whose job is to flush out all toxins from the body. There are several ways to detoxify the body.

Methods Of Detoxifying The Body

You can nourish yourself with loads of nutritious foods but as long as consume processed foods, you won't help your cause. The more chemically processed a food is, the more toxic it is. Thus you must avoid them altogether. You can substitute them with healthier alternatives. Do not consume foods that have additives and preservatives. Reduce the consumption of processed meat, pasteurized dairy products, processed oil, processed sugar, caffeine and food with artificial flavoring.

Our body is mainly made up of water. Re-hydrating the body helps it to detoxify in various ways. Water can be used to suppress your appetite.

It helps the lymphatic system to perform more efficiently. You need to drink at least 8 tall glasses of water every day. You must drink water even if you are not thirsty. Many people drink water when they feel thirsty this way they land up drinking very little water.

The pores in the skin are also a source of bottled up toxin. They absorb toxins from the atmosphere. Brushing your skin can help remove these toxins. The skin is the largest elimination organ. You need to have a skin brush with a long handle. You must keep brushing your skin for at least a few minutes before you take your bath each day. Initially it may sting and/or itch a bit but the end result will be in you favor. Brushing helps the skin to breathe more. It improves the blood circulation, releases toxic wastes and encourages the production of new skin. You can also wet your brush if you find it more comfortable. Results, in both cases, will be similar.

Another detoxification method is taking alkalinizing baths. You just need to throw in a cup of baking soda or sea salt into the bath water and get into the tub slowly. You need to increase the heat gradually until you start perspiring. The idea is to make the water outside more alkaline in nature than the body itself. It relaxes the body and can work wonders on you, especially when you combine this method with brushing the skin.

Yoga is one of the most useful exercises for detoxification. The basic rule of yoga is breathing properly. Yoga teaches you to breathe in the appropriate manner. The various asanas of yoga helps the body to detoxify. It stretches the limbs and the muscles and makes them suppler. It frees the toxins that may exist in muscle knots. The asanas enhance the blood circulation in the body. Yoga makes you feel better both physically and mentally. When the blood circulation increases, the toxins are got rid easily and fast. Yoga is a great healer of stress. Stress is a source of harmful hormones. Yoga introduces positive thinking in the mind. It helps you to feel positive physically, emotionally as well as spiritually.

Coffee enema is yet another way to detoxify the body. For this you would require to procure an organic and fully caffeinated brew of coffee. You just need to ground the organic coffee beans, add boiling water to it, pour it into the enema bag and follow the instructions on your enema kit.

There are various other ways of detoxifying the body. You need to choose the one that suits you the best. In case you are in doubt, you can consult any expert physician.

The colon becomes unclean when you eat the wrong kinds of food on a regular basis. This means that foods that have preservatives and chemicals, foods that contain too much fat or are hard to eliminate as they have a low fiber content.

Because foods like these don't provide the adequate fiber that your colon needs in order to remain clean, you can suffer from constipation or irregular bowel movement. Fiber helps promote colon health and bowel movements in order to keep your colon clean. It encourages the removal of waste as well as the toxins that are trapped.

While one side would ask you to do it, another side would call it a sham. But the logic behind colon cleansing is solid and many studies have proven the effect it can have on the immune system and colon health. Look at the results, even if a person does not have pounds of impacted waste material lodged in the intestines, there can still be benefits, but only if you use professional colon cleanse programs and products that work.

There are numerous different methods for cleaning the colon, and some of them are more credible than others.

An enema is a process whereby liquid is allowed to enter into the rectum and colon by gravity, which softens the waste matter in the colon allowing for natural evacuation. It also stimulates a bowel movement.

This type of colon cleanse has been around for 1000's of years, used by the ancient Egyptians as a way of treating illness and conditions.

However, the enema normally only allows the liquid to only go a certain distance into the colon, and normally not the whole length of the colon.

Colonic hydrotherapy sometimes referred to as colonic irrigation is carried out at a surgery or spa, and should always be practised by a trained individual. The process involves flushing water into the colon and targeting waste material and washing it off the lining of the colon.

It is the colon cleanse that has the most immediate results as there are only one or a few appointments required to clear the colon and re-establish a healthy colon environment.

There has been some worry that this type of therapy throws the baby out with the bath water and the friendly bacteria are also washed out of the colon. This does seems to the case, but as the colon environment is now clear of any putrefying waste matter and the gut flora should soon re establish itself.

If a herbal preparation is the colon cleanse of choice as it is less "intrusive" then the key is to choose a professional colon cleanse program with effective products.

Check out the company that provides the colon-cleansing program you have chosen. See their track record. Find out how many clients they have. Ask for their success rate, as well as their failures.

Also, you need to find out if their program has a money-back guarantee. If a company is confident in the effectiveness of their product, then they should be willing to back it up with a guarantee.

Although there are many reputable companies that sell herbal colon cleanse preparations the most professional colon cleanse regime that can be adopted is usually colonic hydrotherapy, as this requires personal attention and the therapy is carried out by a trained individual.

Nothing seems to make it better, and everything seems to make it worse. Some people have migraine headaches that last for days without relief. If you are prone to migraines, then there are a few tips that you can do to help relieve the pain associated with a migraine headache. While all things will not work for all people, there just may be something that will help you individually. Just as all people are different, all migraines are different also, and something that helps one person, may not necessarily help others. However, there are several methods for instant relief that you can try, and one of them is bound to work for you.

1. First, you should know that migraines are the result of a blood rush to your head. Constricting the blood vessels to slow the rush of blood will often help. Try applying cold compresses to your forehead and the back of your neck to see if the cold helps to slow down the blood, thus slowing down the pain.

2. Another idea is to dip your fingers into ice cold water and apply pressure to your temples. You can try an ice massage, by dipping your fingers into cold water, and simply massaging your temples to help relieve the pain caused from the sudden rush of blood.

3. Everyone knows that migraines are often the result of stress. If you are feeling stressed out, then try changing your scenery. Watch a funny movie, or take a long hot bath. Try to relax and let the stress wash off you.

4. Exercise is also a great pain reliever, specifically aerobic exercise. Exercising will help to regulate the blood flow throughout your body, thus relieving the pressure from the blood rush in your head which caused the migraine to begin with.

5. One sure way to relieve the pain is to engage in sex. While that option may not be suitable for everyone, if you do have the opportunity, then sex is a wonderful way to relieve the blood pressure in your head. Besides, it will take your mind off the pain, and at least give you a few moments of relief.

6. Migraine sufferers know that lights and sound are a migraine headaches worst enemy. If you are suffering with a migraine, then pull your curtains, turn out the lights, and keep all noise to a mute volume. Having just a simple dark, quiet rest will often relieve the pain, and the relaxation may make the migraine dissipate much sooner.

7. Migraine medication that comes over the counter holds one of the most effective ingredients for relieving migraines. Caffeine, although it can trigger a migraine, can also relieve it. Many over the counter medicines that are specifically geared for migraines hold caffeine, so grab a cup of coffee or tea and it should help to alleviate the pain.

8. Take a course in migraine management.

9. Change your scenery. You can try a quick change, like moving from the room that may hold the smell or trigger of your migraine. If you are in the kitchen, try sitting in the bedroom for a spell.

10. If all else fails, you can try a cool water enema. Migraines are sometimes caused by a buildup of toxins in your system. A cool water enema will clean out your system, thus erasing the cause of your pain.

They may expect it means you are going to either use a herbal preparation, go for colonic irrigation or have an enema. However, none of these approaches are ones that people tend to be happy about adopting, especially if they are looking for the least invasive, most gentle way to cleanse the colon.

Having a colon cleanse has become almost fashionable, with the benefits of a clean colon and detoxing the body being talked about on almost every day time show, and with infomercials being shown across countless channels.

However, what people do not realise is that there is no need to adopt a colon cleansing program, if they adopt some simple steps to help themselves clean the colon naturally.

This process will take longer than using a herbal preparation or having the waste flushed out of the body using an enema or colonic irrigation, but it is a natural process, and will mean that once adopted the diet will help the person stay cleansed for life.

Here are some steps a person can take to make the colon a healthier environment:

Eat more fiber, both soluble and insoluble =96 Vegetables and fruit are rich sources of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

Avoid foods that are low in fiber while carrying about the colon-cleansing regime. These would include red meat (no fiber), sausages, pepperoni, bacon, pork and meat extracts.

Exercise regularly, and everyday while on a colon cleansing program as exercise stimulates the bowels.

Fasting can help to reduce the amount of foods and toxins being consumed. This will mean that less food has to be processed and the body can concentrate on the job of eliminating any waste lodged in the colon.

Drinking plenty of water is essential, and eliminate all drinks that dehydrate the body, including alcohol, caffeinated drinks and soda.

Digestive enzymes and probiotic foods can help rebalance the gut and colon and also help the body to absorb more nutrients from the foods eaten.

Digestive enzymes tend to come from raw foods that we eat, and they are killed or dramatically reduced by the process of cooking the foods.

The most enzyme rich foods are sprouted seeds, legumes and grains.



If food is cooked then the best way is through lightly steaming or stewing the food. This way some of the digestive enzymes are maintained in the food.

Changing diet is the least invasive, most gentle way to cleanse the colon. Although it may be a slower process than adopting a colon cleansing program, it does allow for the whole body to get into balance using solely dietary changes and exercise.

Some call it the colon cleanse hype, but its about time that people get to know the dangers of having a dirty colon, and this media buzz may just be what is needed to make people aware of this.

In the aftermath of the colon cleanse information explosion, you may notice a great number of colon cleanse programs and colon cleansers hitting the market.

Some may be able to provide efficient cleansing but there are also a number of colon cleansers that boast of having all natural herbal products that can eliminate all the toxins in your colon almost immediately.

Others state that their program takes a month or more, requiring a person to buy more of their products.

So what is the most effective way for colon cleansing? Once and for all, what does really work?

If you want an effective colon cleansing which will rid you of the heavy mass of waste in your colon and the great number of parasites inhabiting your digestive system, then you must be dedicated to the program and you must be willing to undergo the whole process.

Quitting any where in the course of the program may not get you your desired results and would just waste your time, money and effort. Not to mention that you would still leaving your colon health to continue to suffer.

Two tried and time-tested approaches to cleaning the colon are the enema and colon hydrotherapy.

It can often be useful to have an enema to soften the waste material in the colon before commencing a herbal or oxygen treatment.

Colonic hydrotherapy is an efficient method to clean the colon.

It is carried out by trained therapist and it can take one or a few sessions clear the colon of waste debris.

If you are adopting a herbal colon cleanse, and you do not adapt your diet then the benefits will be reduced.

Adopting a diet hat contains ample pure water and is high in dietary fiber will help the colon cleansing process and reduce the levels of toxins being consumed.

Some of the colon cleansing treatments also suggest a period of fasting, or food restrictions. This is to reduce the burden on the colon and allow it to eliminate the waste material more effectively.

Essentially the more bad food you allow to enter in your body, the natural ability of your colon would be directed in processing the newly ingested food, taking away the attention from cleansing out the remaining waste.

Eating foods rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates can also help regular elimination of waste. Whole grains are good sources for fiber and complex carbohydrates.

The process is generally carried out when the colon is clogged. This happens because the colon is the part of the large intestine which is responsible for storing waste matter temporarily and if colonic health is not good, it can have problems to remove the waste and this means serious trouble for the whole body. This organic waste is actually toxic material which the body refuses to digest. Storing such waste which was actually intended to be thrown away is indeed unnatural and requires immediate medical attention. This is the reason for people opting for a colon cleanse. Medical issues related to this are regular constipation, mood swings, colonic cancer, bloating and flatulence, headaches and various others.

When done correctly by an expert, colon cleansing has been confirmed to be fairly safe, more so with modern developmentss in medicines and equipment. It was enemas, a trick of the past for tackling the colon congestion problems. However, an enema on managed to clear about fifteen or twenty percent, that too of the lower part and thus leaving several parts untreated. There are countless benefits of a colonic irrigation such are removal of harmful fecal matter, flushing out of toxins and bad bacteria, improved colorectal muscular actions, better digestion and absorption of nutrients and a marked change in health, overall. Apart from water irrigations, there are several supplements available in colon cleansing kits which aid in cleaning the colon and assisting it to heal. An oxygen cleaning kit is one such method which works quite effectively by charging up the oxygen inside the intestinal tract and detoxifying the colon. This is a tremendous option to keep good colonic health along with other colon cleaning methods such as the one with hydrotherapy. All these procedures and kits and products have been used for quite a lot of years now but the million dollar question still remains. Is colon cleansing risky or is it safe?

How does one categorize a particular therapy as safe? There are various criteria which people follow. Pain is one such criterion. Many have described colon cleansing as unbearable, and yet there are an equal number that say it was one of the most refreshing experiences of their lives and made them feel much cleaner than ever before. The penetration of the colon cleaning equipment is also considered. A standard enema cleans about the first eight inches but a colonic irrigation goes in much deeper for a thorough cleanse and is generally safe if done by a qualified health professional. Another factor is the threat of infection due to penetration of equipment.PART 2 - For part two of this article, head on to Colon Cleanse Review where you can also find shocking stories on the Colon Detoxification.]]>
