Everyone at one time or another has suffered from digestive issues, and whether chronic or only from time to time, they are still uncomfortable and sometimes even debilitating.

When the colon doesn’t function correctly, you can be plagued with everything from headaches, low energy, and fatigue to bloating, gas, and constipation. Fortunately you can help with this discomfort by doing a homemade colon cleanse.

Your colon, part of your digestive system, does the important job of processing nutrients from food matter and eliminating solid waste from your body. Sometimes toxins, undigested food, and bacteria can lead to a buildup of mucus in the colon and toxins that essentially poison the body.

To help cleanse your body from these toxins, there are many options, but often the best choice are organic home remedies done in the comfort of your own environment. Try these cleanses when you can be home and near the bathroom until your body adjusts to the internal cleansing and detox process.

1. Salt Water Cleanse

Salt water can be used to cleanse your colon by bringing on a forced bowel movement. This “salt water flush” or “salt water cleanse” is most effective when done on an empty stomach, such as first thing in the morning. It is recommended that you consult your doctor before doing this cleanse.

Salt Water Flush Recipe Ingredients:

2. Add your ingredients into the jar and put the lid on. Shake it vigorously to fully dissolve the salt. Make sure no granules are visible.

4. Lay down on your side and massage your belly on one side, then repeat on the other side. If you can manage to hold in the solution for about 30 minutes this will help your body fully absorb the salt.

5. Within a short time after finishing the mixture you should start to feel the urge to go to the bathroom.

6. Once you feel you can no longer hold out, go to the bathroom. You might have to go more than one time, sometimes needing to use the bathroom for several hours before you’re fully “cleansed” and your colon is emptied.
