Many diseases and disorders are associated with the malfunction of the digestive system. If the digestive system stays strong, healthy and well functioning then diseases like asthma, skin allergies, heart diseases, gall bladder and pancreatic diseases and liver problems can be easily be warded off and kept at bay.
Our digestive system is always overburdened with saturated fats, junk and unwholesome food, chemicals and toxins which keep it under excessive stress. An unhealthy digestive system leads to abdominal pains, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acidity, headaches and malodorous gases.
To maintain a strong and healthy digestive system, it is necessary to cleanse it especially the colon, from time to time. Several home remedies can accomplish this task easily and effectively.
Carom has great cleansing properties. It is also full of valuable nutrition that provides strength to the digestive tract. Its antioxidant properties remove the harmful toxins from the entire body and enhance immunity. Take three teaspoons of carom and roast it on a hot griddle until the seeds sputter.
Grind the roasted carom to a powder and mix half a teaspoon of black salt with it. Add a good pinch of hing to the mixture. Swallow this mixture with some warm water first thing in the morning. All the hard and accumulated feces will be expelled, leaving the colon absolutely clean.
Triphala is an age old remedy in ayurvedic medicine. It is very high in nutrition and has the strongest cleansing and detoxifying properties. It cleanses the colon thoroughly without depleting the body’s reserves.
Before going to bed, mix two teaspoons of triphala powder into a glass of water and drink it. In the morning you will have a complete and satisfactory bowel movement.
Psyllium is extremely rich in dietary fibre. It is also very nutritious and promotes good health by lowering the cholesterol level in the body and stimulating the blood circulation. It is a great, cheap and effective remedy for colon cleansing.
The bulk of the husks provides volume of solid material to the waste matter in the colon and helps in its expulsion. Swallow two tablespoons isabgol with a glass of hot milk at night, before going to bed.
Lemon is rich in vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant and which not only detoxifies the body but also gives a tremendous boost to immunity. Lemon cleanses the colon naturally and simultaneously provides vitamin C and potassium to the body which purify the blood.
