Colon Cleansing Naturally with Senna
July 1, 2008 |
Senna is a supplement used for colon cleansing. It has been used in holistic medicine for centuries. Herbalists have sought the medicinal attributes of senna to the point that it became a cultivated crop that was traded between countries. Historically it was grown along the Nile and Indian Ocean.
Unlike some medicinal practices from ages past, this substance remains sought after because of its effectiveness. Senna helps treat constipation and promotes bowel movement by promoting peristaltic movement in the colon. It is so effective that it is often a component of over the counter laxatives.
Senna also provides an anti inflammatory agent that can counteract irritation and maintain colon health.
Senna can be safe enough even for children. You can make a fruit spread with a paste of two cups of favorite fruits, one cup of prunes, and ½ cup of powdered senna tea leaves. Combine enough juice or water to make the right consistency for your taste. You can add brown sugar, molasses, or honey to give more sweetness. Mix it together and refrigerate. One teaspoon a day spread on whole grain toast is an easy way to help your child overcome constipation. An adult may find that a couple of teaspoons of the fruit paste may be needed to keep them regular.
A colon cleanse does not have to be a drawn out affair with diarrhea and salt solutions. A healthy detox diet combined with the occasional use of senna can also help you to maintain colon health. Colon cleansing is essential for a healthy body. By combining different methods and adding more herbs to your arsenal for colon health, you will increase your ability to not only achieve a clean colon, but to keep it clean for the long term.
