Why it’s important to keep the colon clean

The colon is also known as the large intestine and is a vital part of the human body on which we depend for daily bodily functioning. It performs the task of absorbing excess water and salts from the waste that has already passed through the small intestine, preparing it to be released in the form of a bowel movement. As with each and every part of the human body, we have a duty to take good care of our colon otherwise we may start to experience problems. A healthy diet is a good way to help the colon to stay healthy and clean but after periods of time, its inevitable that residue and waste particles will build up clogging the cells in the area and effecting its function.

One of the best ways to rid your body of these potentially harmful toxins is in the form of a colonic irrigation. During this water is poured into the colon and then released along with the toxic waste. Many people believe that a colonic irrigation is most effective when performed during a period of fasting or detox and programs such as those offered by Atsumi Healing retreat, combines the two. It is well worth looking into because keeping your colon clean is an important task.
