Benefits of Colon Cleansing

·          

      Colon Reshaping – When the colon has problems, it’s shape can be altered. The colon will enlarge due to the buildup of toxins that are storied in the colon which can lead to further problems. With the help of a colon therapist, massage techniques, and water used in the procedure, the pockets of feces are narrowed and removed which facilitate the colon returning to its natural state and health.

·         Reflex Points in the Colon – The colon is connected to the organs and systems in the body by reflex points. When you have a colonic done, the points are stimulated by it which helps all areas of the body. This then promotes health throughout the entire body after a colonic is completed.

·         Hydration of the Entire Body – We absorb water into the body through our colon and this increases the volume of the blood. Our blood circulation is increased and this helps the cells. The toxins are diluted and then flushed out of the body so we don’t suffer from uremia and toxemia. This also increase elimination through the kidneys as well as the bowels and skin. Our circulatory systems and cardiovascular system, are also improved.

What A Colonic Can Do for the Colon

·         Cleanse the Colon – A Colonic can break down the toxins in the colon so they no longer harm the body. This helps with the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of wastes from the body. These toxins can be removed over a series sof colon cleanse treatments. Once this is done the colon will work better and your body will feel rejuvenated. If you feel run down, a colonic can help you feel better.

Improve Colon Muscles – When you have a buildup of toxins, the muscles of the colon can weaken which impairs the functioning. When the colon is emptied and filled in a process called peristalsis or muscle contraction, the colon gets stronger. A colonic helps exercise the colon so it’s health improves.

Detox with Yoga

Yoga has attracted much attention due to its effect on depression. Yoga was examined as a therapy for depression by Lisa Uebelacker, a psychologist at Brown University, who had formally studied and practiced mindfulness meditation. She noticed that depressed individuals usually ruminate, so she assumed that they may find it hard to cope with seated meditation. She stated that she perceived Yoga to be a better act because of the movement involved. “It causes the participant to shift focus from worries and regret. It takes you to another place – a better place.” In a mini study conducted in 2007 by UCLA researchers, they examined the effect of Yoga on depressed patients who only had partial relief after using antidepressants. Following 8-week Iyengar Yoga practice (three times weekly), the patients testified that depression and anxiety were significantly decreased. A further research is currently being carried out by Uebelacker to give a clearer view.

Modern technologies such as functional MRI screening has been used by scientists to get a glimpse of the effectiveness of yogic practices like meditation and asana on the brain. Khalsa stated that “We now understand what takes place in the brain in the course of meditation.” “Those who practice Yoga a lot experience changes in the structure of their brain that is attributed to their reduced reactivity and emotional explosivity. This happens at varying degree.” 

Yoga & Wellness

In a recent study by Kim Innes, a clinical associate professor, and Kundalini Yoga practitioner, Yoga was said to have positive effect on people suffering from health issues like sedentary, overweight, and the risk of type II diabetes.  Also, 42 individuals who had not done Yoga for about a year were made to undergo 8-week gentle Iyengar Yoga program, and after the 8 weeks, over 80 % of them mentioned that they experienced a strange calmness in their being and had an improvement in their general body functioning. 

“Yoga is open to all” according to Innes. “All the people that took part in our trials, including those who believed yoga is difficult, got remarkable benefits starting from the first session. I’ve seen from experience that no matter how shallow your knowledge about yoga is, a single experience (with an expert yoga therapist around) will hook you to the act.”
