Colon cleansing is the process of removing toxins from yourbody. More specifically it is the act of flushing out thetoxins with water.

3) If doing a home colon cleansing follow the instructionscarefully. Usually a home herbal cleanse takes place over 30days by taking herbal pills. What will happen is the first fewdays will probably be pretty uncomfortable for you. You'll beusing the restroom up to 5 times per day. If this doesn't slowdown then you should take less of the herbal pills so as not todehydrate your body. To help with hydration drink, at minimum,your body weight in ounces of water. So if you weigh 120pounds, drink 120 ounces of water per day. That may bedifficult, but water is healthy and it will help with thecleansing process.
