There are two different types of natural colon cleanses which you can do to eliminate waste from your colon. One is much healthier for you and the other is the most common approach. The two approaches differ greatly in the type of time commitment you must make to use them and get results.

The first of these colon cleanses involves using a product, system, diet, or service that can clean the waste from your colon and which may, or may not, detoxify your body, eliminate intestinal parasites, replace gut flora, and reduce your weight. This category of cleansing your colon includes using supplements, herbal teas, colon hydrotherapy, enemas, and fasting diets.

Supplements are considered natural since most of them are herb-based, made of ingredients that are proven as effective in these systems. Agents used to detoxify your body are also herbal with natural detoxifying properties which remove toxins from your colon, bloodstream, kidneys, and liver.

Enemas are often nothing more that sterile water which is used by pumping it gently into the rectum to wash out the waste. Herbal teas may have any type of herb or a mixture of several to perform cleansing and detoxifying during your treatment.

Colon hydrotherapy is performed at spas and clinics where professionals can oversee the procedure and monitor any medical condition you may have. Enemas may also be used by professionals but don't provide the cleansing that you get from hydrotherapy.

For any of the cleanses that you do by taking supplements or ingesting certain products for an extended period of time, you must dedicate the entire time using the cleanse close to the bathroom. This can be for an entire month or longer and can interfere with your other commitments.

The second type of natural colon cleanse involves eating high fiber foods while eliminating fat and sugar from your diet. This should be done for the rest of your life to keep your colon clean naturally and to make you healthier and keep you feeling better all the time. This is the healthiest choice you can make of all of the colon cleansing systems.
