Herbs For Colon Health

Many people are under the impression that a colonoscopy can detect ALL colon problems, however, this is not true at all. A colonoscopy only examines the large intestines, not the small intestines or the stomach cavity. A colonoscopy is a medical test performed by a licensed medical doctor to screen their patients who are fifty years old or more for colon cancer.

A colonoscopy may not pick up on Crohn's disease found in the small intestine or diverticulosis also not detected by colonoscopy but generally found through a barium enema test. In the US, half of all people over the age of 50 have some diverticulosis of the colon and nearly all people over age 80, have diverticulosis.

What is diverticulosis? Pouches that form in the colon wall and do not cause symptoms. Not to be confused with diverticulitis, a painful diverticular disease that causes diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping.

Interestingly, diverticulosis first began to present in the early 1900's when mass marketing of processed foods originated. Now it is becoming increasingly common as a result of the American processed food eating habits.

Normally, if you have a diet with sufficient fiber or roughage, you will produce stool that is bulky and can move easily through the colon. It is in every adults best interest to eat more whole grains, fruits and leafy green vegeatbles for their colon health. What are you to do if you show signs of colon toxicity? Herbal treatments and supplements may just be the answer.

Taking herbs to heal the bowel from toxicity before the condition worsens and possibly produces a serious disease is an important remedy to consider. Some people may have diverticulosis for years without even knowing it until the bowel pockets become inflamed and irritated causing diverticulitis.

It is important to use herbal supplements with only high quality herbs because poorly formulated products can cause further intestinal irritation and inflammation. Look for the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) seal on products, so you can be sure the lab that manufactured the supplement has followed GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration. Furthermore the seal ensures that the company adheres to recognized standards in the manufacturing process related to the facilities grounds, building and equipment; pest control; employee practices; receiving, storage and shipping; plant sanitation; and processing.

Co-Clean colon cleansing supplements have the GMP seal. Take two tablets nightly for no longer than four weeks time. This should be ample time to purge the toxins from your body and to heal the bowel from toxicity
