Anyone who has experienced constipation will tell you that it can be very uncomfortable. It’s a common gastrointestinal problem, but if it’s chronic, it can be harmful to your health. It’s not something you should wait to treat. We suggest treating it with colon hydrotherapy and other alternative therapies as soon as possible.

Symptoms of the condition include hard stools, fewer than three stools a week, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, excessive straining and a sense of rectal blockage. It can also include the need to use manual maneuvers such as finger evacuation or lower abdomen manipulation.

Using colonic irrigation

Why does it help? Colonics instills sterile water gently throughout the colon to move toxins and waste out of the system. That natural flow of water stimulates the body’s natural peristalsis, causing the digestive tract to reactivate and do the job is was made to do – soak up nutrients and move waste out of the body. You’re not only cleansing the colon, you’re helping the body to heal itself and restore normal bowel function. It balances the GI tract and promotes overall health and wellness.

Life alterations

Getting rid of constipation for good takes some life alterations. We suggest a variety:

  • Eat some fiber: fiber is vital for moving food through body. Eat organic foods like fruit, vegetables, beans, whole grain cereals and breads. Shoot for 25 to 35 grams daily.
  • Drink healthy liquids: water, juice and other liquids can help push waste through the body. Don’t skimp out on liquids, but try to limit your caffeine intake.
  • Get some exercise: not only can exercise stimulate bowel function, it’s the best way to get healthy and stay healthy. Do your best to get some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes per day.
