There are countless varieties of herbal teas. Many formulations have been developed that address specific ailments. Blends are created to heal, relax and detoxify the body.
For colon health, your most important support will come from your diet. Eliminating processed junk foods that are devoid of nutrition and full of empty calories is your first line of defense against colon issues like constipation and more seriously, cancer.
However, cleansing teas can be powerful aids in helping your colon to purge plaque that has been left behind. Over time, mucoid plaque can build up and become solid making them hard to pass. As a result, your body is not able to absorb nutrients that are important for good health. Consumption of detox cleansing teas will support your organs, glands and digestive system helping to purge mucoid colon plaque from your system.
Herbs that have a proven track record at supporting colon health are senna (or Cassia senna leaf), rhamnus purshiana bark, barberry, raspberry, berberis vulgaris bark, ruhus iadcus leaf, rhubarb, and reheum palmatum root.
When consumed regularly as tea, these herbs can strengthen the lower bowel and support elimination. Hot water with fresh lemon, ginger tea and green tea will also support these functions.
Supporting colon health is not possible if you are not drinking enough water each day. We all need to consume at least half of our body weight in ounces of fresh, pure water every day. Without the right amounts of water, we are jeopardizing our health in every way. Constipation and colon health will be greatly improved by simply adding enough water to your diet.
Lifestyle changes and enough water consumption are vital for colon health. However, detox cleansing teas are a good way to support your colon as part of a healthy regime.
If you are experiencing pain in your bowel or chronic constipation, it is probably a good idea to consult with a qualified health professional.
