7 Day Colon Cleanse

The colon is the part of the body which serves as waste matter storage. Its primary function besides storage is to extract water and salt from feces. You've probably heard a lot about colon health and even cleansing in the media. One of the most popular cleansing programs is the 7 day colon cleanse. If you've never done a cleanse before it is important to learn as much as you can about the process and how it can be helpful for your body. Contrary to popular belief, regular bowel movements don't remove all the fecal matter accumulated. This means over the years feces builds up and even becomes hard in the colon, causing various problems like constipation and discomfort.


A cleansing kit is the preferred method for many consumers. There are a variety of kits on the market consisting of natural herbal ingredients. All natural cleansing kits are usually more gentle on the body than stimulant based laxatives which should be avoided in most cases. A few of the ingredients you may find in herbal products include licorice root, dandelion root and psyllium husks. Psyllium is a rich source of natural fiber which is crucial to cleansing the colon properly. If you decide upon a kit, check your local health food store which should have a good selection.

It is very important to follow all package instructions exactly as described when doing a cleanse. If you are taking any over the counter or prescription drugs check for interactions because certain herbs may interact with other medications and even supplements. Your doctor can help you check for harmful interactions. Also, there are various websites where you can cross check interactions for many different pharmaceuticals, herbs and over the counter products. Once you have the go-ahead from your physician and have read all instructions in detail you are ready to begin your cleanse.

During a 7 day colon cleanse you may be directed to follow a specific diet. It is crucial to drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in fiber and nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are recommended. Whole grain is a great source of fiber and can be obtained through bread, pasta, rice, wheat germ, oatmeal and various other food products. Always read the labels at the supermarket and make sure 100 percent whole grain is listed on the package rather than whole wheat which is misleading. By combining a healthy diet with a high quality natural cleansing program you can reap the health rewards of a clean colon.
