Spring Cleaning, From the Inside
In many parts of the world, you can almost sense the change. Places long gripped in the cold clutches of winter are gradually inching out from beneath snow and ice towards that much anticipated season, spring. In many cultures, spring is a time for renewal. Gardens and fields are planted. The term “spring cleaning” conjures up, for most of us, pictures of a house-maker working feverishly to render their dwelling spotless. Cleaning during the spring dates back for centuries, and recently another old-fashioned type of “spring-cleaning” has caught the interest of many. I am talking about colon cleansing and detoxification.
The colon is an involuntary muscle that moves fecal matter from the fecal pouch, where it is deposited after the body determines it has no usable material in it. Through a slow, involuntary process, the matter is moved along several feet of colon until it emerges from the body through the anal sphincter. Over the course of a year, many people, especially those with sluggish digestive tracts, can accumulate fecal matter in the folds of the accordion-like colon, some of which dry and harden, becoming impacted. Many practitioners of holistic medicine also believe that some toxic materials can be stored in this “immovable’ fecal material. They advocate, as has been done for many generations, a cleansing of the colon each spring.
Colon cleansings can be something as intense as a series of colon hydrotherapy sessions that work like a slow, steady enema to wash out waste. Though this sounds uncomfortable, the introduction of modern colon hydrotherapy instruments and specialized chairs for the process make it relatively discomfort-free. The cost can be a bit prohibitive, and you will need to look for a provider that is licensed or certified to perform this service, as it is not without risks.
A more popular method of colon cleansing is the kind you can wash down with a glass of water. Health food stores and vitamin shops carry many brands of colon cleansers, each with special ingredients to rid your body of excess fecal matter and the build up of purported toxins. Choosing one can be difficult. If a gradual cleansing of your colon, utilizing pills that are taken at home, sounds as if it would work better for you, then talk to someone knowledgeable about the different types. If you don’t have an Osteopath or holistic medical provider, ask the manager at your health food store. There are also on-line links that allow you to compare different brands and their effectiveness.
Does it help? Many practitioners of traditional medicine decry these treatments as useless, outdated and imply they are dangerous. While they might be unorthodox as far as contemporary medicine is concerned, they have a fairly long history of benefits that can be attested by large numbers of people.
Spring-cleaning the house helps get the home ready for a season of enjoying warm, outdoor weather. Spring-cleaning the inside of your body can help you be ready to enjoy it, as well.
Note: If you are suffering from a serious illness that involves your digestive tract, or some other complicated medical condition, please be sure to ask your doctor before undertaking a colon cleanse.
