Constipation is a curse of our modern way of living. In rural Africa and Asia, where people eat high levels of fibre through vegetables, grains, beans and lentils, constipation related diseases such as appendicitis and colon cancer are rare. With our Western diets and lifestyles, a regular colon cleanse helps over come constipation. Without it, wastes stay in our bowels too long, allowing more time and opportunity for these toxins to be reabsorbed, causing all manner of problems.

Natural cleansing laxative teas contain strong ingredients, that when used improperly can have grave results, even death. Many dieters use laxative teas to lose weight. Just remember that in addition to water and other nutrients that you lose every time you ingest a laxative, you also lose important muscle matter, proteins and iron. Even when used sparingly, laxative teas can cause stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Addiction to laxatives is a very real possibility even if you don’t use it for weight loss. The body becomes accustomed to having the diuretic elements and won’t be able to go without it.

I’ve used laxatives but for constipation purposes. I didn’t know they could be used as a colon cleanser. Can anyone recommend them as I’d rather use them instead of the enema or the hydrotherapy?
