Try a mixture of 1 teaspoon of fresh liquorice root, 1 teaspoon aniseed and 1 - 2 teaspoons peppermint teas in a pot and steeped with boiling water for 10 - 15 minutes. Any good health food store should be able to help with loose leaf organic varieties. The organic varieties can be reused a couple of times throughout the day before the leaves are spent and have much more therapeutic value then that of the commercial tea bag varieties.

The liquorice root will sooth and heal your digestive tract and the peppermint will aide also in digestion and lift your mood and spirit and the aniseed has that lovely sweet natural taste that will benefit your kidneys and increase your energy levels. 1 - 2 pots per day should do the trick !!

There are two home methods for colon cleansing.

This first is simply by increasing fiber intake. The best way I have found to accomplish this is by taking a psyllium husk supplement. I prefer the non-name brand unflavored variety, but Metamucil is a flavored big brand that helps improve colon health, as well as overall health.

The second method is by doing a periodic home enema. It's similar to a colonic, except with simpler equipment and you can do it by yourself. I don't give much credibility to the warning a "perforating" your colon; I can hardly imagine how to do that with an enema kit. A popular enema is a coffee enema--you should be able to find instructions on the web. The main things to be careful of are proper cleanliness and proper temperature (meaning the same as body temperature).

The only downside that I know of would be if you did enemas every day for a long period. Then your colon could become dependent on the enemas as a means of elimination and stop eliminating normally. So just don't do it too many days in a row.

You should only do something like this when and as directed by your physician. There can be serious complications and death if not done correctly, but if you feel there is a problem; you should not delay in seeing a doctor. I put off having a colonoscopy for years, but had one a little over a year ago and was found to be just fine. The bowel prep prescribed for me was called "HalfLytely."

My doctor recommended Metamucil and from what I have read it seems to be really good for you. I elected to have a bowl of Walmart Instant Cinnamon Oatmeal with four pitted prunes every morning and a small glass of Walmart Prune Juice.

Metamucil is a bulk-producing laxative and fiber supplement manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The Metamucil brand has existed since 1934. The active ingredient is psyllium seed husks. It is often used to treat constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. It may also reduce cholesterol when taken daily.[1] Metamucil is sold in powdered drink mixes, capsules, and wafers.

In 2007, Metamucil began repositioning itself as a beauty product, adopting the slogan "Metamucil: Beautify your inside."

I am not a doctor or medical professional, so take this for whatever you think it's worth.

Mankind evolved for over hundreds of thousands of years without resorting to "colon cleansing". (which is just a fancy way to say enema, by the way). If you're worried about what's in your colon, eat a couple of pieces of fruit and drink at least 2 quarts of water every day. You won't have to worry after that. It's safe, it's natural, it's nutritious, and it's cheaper than any of those things you'll see advertised on late night TV.

unless you go and get a colonoscopy...the only thing you can do is drink a lot of water....avoid red meat, as it stays in your system for a long time.

DO NOT attempt a home colonoscopy....they are professionals and know what they are doing. You could injure yourself. I don't know specifics, but they go to medical school for a reason!

A colonoscopy is NOT that! It is a scope that they put in with a light and a camera on it... You can really screw up your system if you try to do anything like that... It won't help unless u have had problems going to the bathoom

Please, please, please do not attempt this with anything! Your colon is very delicate and if you perforate it, you could DIE!!

The so-called colon cleansing products are no good for you OR your colon. You need the bacteria that is present in your colon and so does your body. If you truly want to lose weight, eat LOTS of fiber and drink lots of water. This is the best colon cleansing you can get and it is extremely safe for you and your body!~
