Constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome are all indications of low intestinal flora or bowel toxicity. Individuals who do not have at least one bowel movement each day are increasingly susceptible to disease and may require the help of a bowel cleanse program to remove putrefactive waste from the colon and intestines. For both short-term and long-term bowel cleanses involving the flushing of the intestinal tract, an evening application of the diuretic herb senna along with a morning salt water flush can be an effective way to quickly cleanse the bowels.
Step 1
Insert 1 to 2 grams of organic dried senna leaf into a mesh tea ball, and put it into the mug or coffee cup. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in the kettle.
Step 2
Add the boiling liquid to the mug and allow the tea mixture to seep 10 to 15 minutes before removing the mesh tea ball. Drink the entire contents of the mug immediately before going to sleep.
Step 3
Add 1 tbsp. of sea salt into a 32-oz. drinking container immediately upon waking up in the morning. Fill the container with filtered water and stir until all of the salt and water has sufficiently mixed. Drink the salt water from the 32-oz. container in slow, steady gulps.
Step 4
Plan time in the morning to allow the diuretic tea and salt water flush to completely purge your intestines. You will receive three to four bowel movements, with the consistency becoming more and more liquefied.
Step 5
Continue for three to five days. For long-term bowel cleanses requiring 10 to 30 days, attempt to abstain from food or stimulants for the first 10 days in order to fully empty the bowels during the cleanse.
Tips and Warnings
- On the chance that you experience constipation during your morning bowel movement, rub the area of your stomach in a clockwise direction to promote a healthy bowel function.
- If you decide to take a 10-day fast as part of your bowel cleanse, ensure that you are drinking more than eight cups of water a day to maintain a healthy hydration. If you experience any symptoms of pain or increased heart rate, immediately discontinue the cleanse.
