How to cleanse the intestines of toxins - the best methods and means!

Why do you need to cleanse your intestines?

When a person develops long-term illnesses, his mood deteriorates, fatigue, lethargy appear, his complexion becomes gray, and his skin becomes covered with early wrinkles, people wonder - where from? It turns out that mixed in with numerous factors is the most important one – a clogged intestine.

Constipation, clogging of the intestines with hard fecal “stones” is the cause of 90% of cases of chronic ailments. Harmful substances entering the blood cause early aging not only of the face, but also of the entire body along with internal organs. As a result, various diseases arise.

Every specialist will say that cleansing any organ should begin with the intestines. And not only from the thick one, but more from the thin one, in order to increase a person’s defenses.

What does regular cleaning do:

Getting rid of parasites;
Increasing protective functions, performance, both mental and physical;
Improving the functioning of all internal organs and systems;
Change in appearance and mood for the better;
Hair loss disappears, hair becomes shiny and healthy;
Gradual relief from some chronic diseases.

It has been noted that a clean intestine has a beneficial effect on improving the condition of the musculoskeletal system. The joints do not hurt or creak. After eliminating the garbage, many other unpleasant manifestations go away: constipation, bad breath, flatulence. Prolonged diarrhea stops.

Drug treatment

To cleanse the intestines with the help of medications, you can use the following drugs:

Activated carbon is one of the most common and safe means.
Laktofiltrum - the drug not only contains sorbents, but also lactobacilli, which are necessary for the intestines to function normally. The product not only cleanses the intestines, but also normalizes the functioning of the liver and pancreas. You must take it strictly according to the prescribed schedule.
Fortrans is a laxative in powder form. For a one-time procedure you will need 4 packages. You need to take one serving of liquid per hour. After taking the drug, you must adhere to a diet for the next two weeks.

The latter drug even helps eliminate fecal stones and literally “washes” the intestines. But the medicine should be used only on the recommendation of a doctor, since laxatives are prohibited for some gastroenterological and proctological diseases.

How to get rid of waste in your body at home

You can get rid of excess weight at home. But first you need to “hear” the signals of your body, and then find methods to combat slagging.

Indications for cleansing the small intestine:

Constant accumulation of gases, leading to bloating and pain.
Unpleasant odor from the mouth.
Excessive fatigue. Energy is spent on digesting junk food, and attempts are also made to get rid of toxins.
Poor nutrition, low physical activity, living in a metropolis.
The appearance of acne on the skin, aging, dry skin.

If the body is not cleansed, then one should expect headaches, various diseases, a large number of parasites, memory deterioration, and rapid aging of the body.

When to clean

It is optimal if the attending physician makes the decision: the doctor will conduct an examination and determine whether the event is necessary.

The following clinical signs may indicate that the small intestine needs to be cleansed:

unstable stool;
colic, abdominal cramps;
pain in the stomach after eating or in the morning;
frequent flatulence with an extremely unpleasant odor;
heaviness in the intestines, a constant feeling of fullness even with a minimal amount of food consumed;
nausea after eating;
general deterioration of health;
weakness, decreased performance;
irritability, apathetic mood against the background of deterioration of the gastrointestinal tract;
problems with bowel movements;
frequent infectious diseases;
relapses of chronic gastroenterological diseases.

A large amount of waste in the intestines can manifest itself as brittle hair, nails, deterioration of the skin and other symptoms.

Pharmacy drugs

At the pharmacy you can buy products with a laxative effect:

Fortrans. The powder is diluted in water. Once inside, it helps to liquefy feces and remove them out. Fortrans contains electrolytes that can establish electrolytic balance in the body.

Lavacol. The suspension maintains electrolytic balance and regularity of bowel movements.
Movieprep. Contains a large amount of electrolytes, which leads to the removal of contents naturally.
Sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate are effective laxatives.

A gentle cleansing of the intestines will be achieved if you take the prebiotic Duphalac and Senade tablets. Duphalac cleanses the intestinal tract without washing away beneficial microflora.

Senade tablets are often used for weight loss and a mild laxative effect.

Any pharmaceutical drug is intended for very rare use, since, along with harmful substances, it can remove many useful elements.

Symptoms of intestinal diseases

Due to such phenomena, a number of violations occur. Many of them may seem painfully familiar to most:

food is not digested correctly
nutrients are not fully absorbed
frequent constipation, bloating
the intestines produce excessive amounts of mucus (especially common in acute bacterial infections)

Mainly for diseases of the intestinal tract, it is important to know which means to cleanse the intestines of waste and toxins are best suited. All advice and consultations usually begin with a description of the symptoms. Let's figure it out.

Gastrointestinal diseases are accompanied by:

severe and nagging pain in the stomach area or below
excessive accumulation of gases
problems with appetite
diarrhea or constipation
bleeding

Pain due to pathologies is the most unpleasant thing. Depending on the location of the inflammation and the degree of damage, the pain can be completely different - sharp, aching, stabbing, constant or episodic.

Let's take a closer look at the pain symptoms:

if it hurts near the navel, the small intestine is affected
if the right iliac region hurts, the cecum is affected
if the left side hurts - the sigmoid colon

Many of my friends often confuse pain in the liver with pain in the cecum. Long-lasting and nagging pain occurs when the intestines are swollen: gases distend it and the pain makes itself felt. It should also be remembered that many pain symptoms can be the same when inflammation occurs in completely different areas.

Home cleansing

Populists have developed many safe natural remedies for cleansing the small intestine. Folk remedies will have to be cleaned for a long time, but without harm to health.

Kefir. All fermented milk products are ready to gently combat any problems in the gastrointestinal tract. They contain lactic acid bacteria, which are involved in the restoration of microflora. To enhance the laxative effect, add flaxseed flour to the fermented milk in the morning. The course is three weeks. At first, 1 tsp per 100 ml is enough. coarse flaxseed flour, then add 3 tsp to 150 ml.
Buckwheat with kefir. Pour 0.5 cups of cereal into a drink at night, and eat it in the morning instead of breakfast. On an empty stomach you can drink a glass of kefir with 1 tbsp. olive oils.
Kissel. Boil prunes, then cook jelly with potato starch. The drink will delicately cleanse all parts of the intestines, and at the same time remove the stomach. Beetroot juice with rose hips.

How to cleanse the intestines with folk remedies

Many clinics offer the now fashionable colon hydrotherapy, when the intestines are washed with a huge amount of water - from 40 to 60 liters. But not everyone will decide to do this; the pleasure is not cheap, and the reviews from doctors are contradictory. It’s your choice, but it’s probably better to start cleansing the body with proven and gentle folk remedies.

First, prepare well:

Familiarize yourself with the different methods in advance;
choose the one that suits you, taking into account your health status and the time you have;
be mentally prepared - the procedures are not the most pleasant;
purchase everything you need, prepare the place for the procedure;
a few days before cleansing, switch to a plant-based diet, do not eat spicy and salty foods;
Follow the diet after the cleansing course.

Colon cleansing with salted water

The procedure is performed in the morning on an empty stomach. Within one and a half to two hours you need to drink 10 glasses of warm boiled salted water. The solution is made at the rate of 1 teaspoon of salt (can be sea or table) per 1 liter of water. It's a good idea to add the juice of 1 squeezed lemon.

First, they drink 2 glasses; it would be good to do exercises according to the yoga system for better flow of water into the intestines. Bends and turns of the body left and right (standing) are suitable. Turns are performed while lying on the floor, as well as squatting.

For those who find the exercises difficult, you can walk around, raising your knees high, but just don’t lie down. Then you need to drink the next portion of salt water.

The urge to go to the toilet occurs differently for everyone. Gradually, the discharge will begin to resemble ordinary water in appearance. Being unaccustomed to it, it is difficult to drink such an amount of saline solution. If you didn’t finish 10 glasses, let’s have 8.

Once you've finished cleaning, eat. Vegetables, fruits, and cereals are suitable. Drink plain water or juice. Clean the intestines in this way 3 to 5 times, taking a break for 1 or 2 days. It is optimal to carry out 3-4 such procedures during the year.

Contraindications : acute colitis, stomach ulcer, cancer, pancreatitis, pregnancy.

Colon cleansing with enema

The procedure is carried out from 5 to 7 a.m., with sufficient time (if you have to go to work by 9, nothing will work; after introducing a large amount of water, there may be several urges to defecate). Then there is only one way out - to cleanse in the evening.

Before cleansing, it is recommended to have a natural bowel movement.

For the enema you will need 2 liters of warm boiled water. It is good to use additives - 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar is enough for this amount, you can use lemon juice. Infusions of herbs (sage, chamomile) are also suitable - 200 ml, or alternatively - 1 tablespoon of table salt.

Pour the solution into Esmarch's mug, lubricate the tip with Vaseline or vegetable oil for gentle administration. Hang the mug, the hose should not be stretched, take the appropriate position: kneel, lean on one elbow, insert the tip with your free hand.

Then you should raise your pelvis, lower your head and breathe deeply. Gradually pour in all the water. Try using a special bookmark to keep the solution inside for 10 minutes. If it hurts and you feel full, stroke your stomach clockwise.

After emptying, massage the abdominal area; if not all the water has come out, you will hear a gurgling sound. Move around, but not too far from the toilet, then, while sitting on the toilet, apply gentle pressure to the intestinal area.

You feel emptiness and lightness inside - the cleansing was successful. There is no feeling of relief - you will have to repeat the procedure.

For those suffering from chronic constipation, it is advisable to rinse the intestines before the cleansing procedure. Make a microenema - half a liter of water, and release it immediately. You can do this 2-3 times.

It is better to eat no earlier than an hour after cleansing. During the period of using enemas, it is good to eat a healthy mixture every evening (especially for those who are fond of folk remedies for healing). Take 100 g of figs, 150 g of prunes, 200 g of dried apricots, 100 g of honey and aloe. Soak dried fruits in water, grind in a meat grinder, mix all ingredients. Take 3 tablespoons of the drug before bed. It is good to drink with flaxseed infusion (1 tablespoon per glass of water).

During the colon cleansing course, try to eat light foods, excluding fats, flour, smoked foods, sweets, and alcohol. Eat in small portions 5-6 times a day, drink at least 2 liters of plain water, or melt water. Just not carbonated.

The course of enema cleaning is designed for two weeks. Initially, the procedure is carried out daily, the second week – every other day. It is better to cleanse the body in this way no more than 2 times a year.

Experts disagree - some consider an enema to be too radical a method. It is criticized for the fact that when it is used, the intestines become “lazy” and natural bowel movements become difficult.

Others see this method of cleansing the intestines as almost a panacea for all diseases and recommend using it once a week for a year.

In any case, the choice is yours. But remember: contraindications for enema cleansing are cracks in the anus, bleeding during bowel movements, and inflammatory processes in the intestines.

Cleaning can be more gentle, but it takes much longer.

Cleansing properties of flax seeds

Flax seeds will gently and fairly quickly cleanse the intestinal tract. The recipes are quite simple, but very effective:

Prepare the drink: 5 hours before bedtime, pour a glass of boiling water into 1 teaspoon of flax seeds. Before going to bed, drink the infusion and eat the seeds.
This method will completely cleanse the intestines of fecal accumulations, most parasites, and long-term mucus: prepare fresh flax seed flour daily. In the first week for breakfast, take 1 dessert spoon of coarse seeds with 100 ml of kefir or natural yogurt. For the entire second week, 2 dessert spoons of flour per 100 ml of fermented milk product. During treatment, drink 2 liters of water daily.

This method will preserve the intestinal microflora, but will get rid of all unnecessary ballast, and also regulate the level of cholesterol in the blood. In addition, flax perfectly regulates lipid metabolism and has a detrimental effect on fungi, viruses and helminths. Just 2-3 weeks of flaxseed breakfast and your body will be cleansed!

Another recipe: 2 tbsp. Combine spoons of castor oil with 3 tbsp. spoons of maple syrup and 100 ml of water. It is better to take the emulsion on an empty stomach. After consulting a doctor, pregnant women and children can drink it.

Tibetan monks' method of purification

A very simple but completely harmless Tibetan method of cleansing with rice:

Colon hydrotherapy - modern colon cleansing

Colon hydrotherapy refers to mechanical methods of cleansing the large intestine and is a method of forced dialysis without affecting the abdominal cavity.
