This was the recommendation of a well known health professional\/nutritionist too!<\/p>\n<h2>Want to know what&#8217;s wrong with senna?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bowel IRRITANT, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s wrong with it. It&#8217;s a herb that contains plant chemicals that irritate the lining of the bowel, causing a laxative effect. It&#8217;s not a colon cleanser at all.<\/p><div id=\"thede-2222840875\" class=\"thede-content thede-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2337972821559110\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2337972821559110\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5013879607\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is sometimes used in colon cleansing supplements in combination with other herbs but I would never recommend those to anyone. Many people get cramps from taking senna on its own or in combination with other herbs.<\/p>\n<h1>Why do we need to do colon cleansing?<\/h1>\n<p>Many health experts claim that the intestinal system is the true centre of health in the body. They also claim that toxic build up in the colon or bowel, as it is also known, is the precursor to various types of degenerative disease.<\/p>\n<p>Many Naturopthic doctors and nutritionists attributed their successful treatment of patients to the healing powers of colon cleansing.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The famous late American naturopath, Bernard Jensen, stated that when the bowel is dirty the the blood is dirty and so are the organs and tissues. It is the bowel that must be cared for first before any effective healing can take place.<\/p>\n<p>More recently Dr Alejandro Junger, author of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0062075861\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0062075861&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=detoxblog0d-20\">Clean Gut<\/a><\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=detoxblog0d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0062075861\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>, stated &#8220;All of today\u2019s most-diagnosed ailments can be traced back to an injured and irritated gut. The gut is an intricate and powerful system, naturally designed to protect and heal the body every moment of every day.\u00a0 And yet for far too many of us, this remarkable system is in disrepair, which leads to all kinds of health problems\u2014from extra pounds, aches and pains, allergies, mood swings, and lack of libido, to heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, insomnia, and depression.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>How does the bowel become dirty?<\/h2>\n<p>When you eat food it goes on a journey through the digestive system where it gets digested (broken down), releasing nutrients that are absorbed across the wall of the small intestine into the body.<\/p>\n<p>Anything that is left passes into the colon where water and any remaining water and minerals are absorbed. What&#8217;s left is the indigestible food matter such as cellulose, dead bacteria, dead white blood cells, cell debris, cholesterol, toxins and unwanted hormones that have been detoxed by the liver and incorporated into bile.<\/p>\n<p>Proper bowel function means pooping 2 or 3 times a day. Many people are not aware of this and go through their lives having only one bowel movement a day, one every other day or once a week.<\/p>\n<p>I had a client once who only ever went once a month. She did not feel at all well as you can imagine. After a few colonics and a change of diet she felt like a diffferent person.<\/p>\n<p>The longer this waste, known as the stool, stays in the bowel the harder and more toxic it becomes. As these toxins accumulate they will affect every part of the body: slow your metabolism, rob you of energy, reduce your immunity and even lead to serious chronic illness. The result? A body in need of colon cleansing.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need a Colon Cleanse?<\/h2>\n<p>You could benefit from one if you have any of these symptoms:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Abdominal gas<br \/>\n\u2022 Backaches<br \/>\n\u2022 Bad breath<br \/>\n\u2022 Bloating<br \/>\n\u2022 Body odor<br \/>\n\u2022 Confusion<br \/>\n\u2022 Constipation<br \/>\n\u2022 Diarrhea<br \/>\n\u2022 Fatigue<br \/>\n\u2022 Headaches<br \/>\n\u2022 Irritability<br \/>\n\u2022 Sciatic pain<br \/>\n\u2022 Skin problems<\/p>\n<p>A range of methods are available to help you cleanse your colon, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dietary and Lifestyle Changes<br \/>\n\u2022 Herbal Remedies<br \/>\n\u2022 Colon Cleansing Kits<br \/>\n\u2022 Colonic Irrigation<br \/>\n\u2022 Therapeutic Fasting<br \/>\n\u2022 Laxatives (not recommended)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dietary &amp; Lifestyle Changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dietary and lifestyle changes are the first things that need to be done to help maintain a clean and unblocked colon.<\/p>\n<p>The changes needed to maintain a healthy digestive tract are simply a matter of following a diet that high in fiber and raw fermented foods.<\/p>\n<p>My article <strong><a title=\"Start your detox with a bowel cleansing diet\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/start-your-detox-with-a-bowel-cleansing-diet-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Start Your Detox With A Bowel Cleansing Diet<\/a><\/strong> gives more detail about the best diet to follow and you can find out more about using raw fermented foods in my review of <strong><a title=\"Detox Your Body With The Body Ecology Plan\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/detox-your-body-with-the-body-ecology-diet-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Body Ecology Diet<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You need to keep well hydrated with pure water, <strong><a title=\"Detox Water Recipes For Everyday Drinking\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/detox-water-recipes-for-everyday-drinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detox waters<\/a><\/strong>, herbal or green tea, fresh vegetable juices and soups, and green smoothies.

They also see nothing wrong with having a bowel movement every three days saying it is normal for that person.
