The colon
The colon, or large intestine, measuring 5ft in length and 2½ inches in diameter, is an important part of the digestive system. It handles most of our food and body waste and is essential for maintaining good health.
The main function of the colon is to absorb the water-soluble nutrients as well as synthesise certain vitamins. It is also a major player in the excretory system responsible for eliminating food and other wastes when the internal environment becomes unbalanced due to stress, food additives, certain drugs, smoking, excess alcohol.
When the colon is not functioning efficiently there will be a build up of toxic waste, can lead to self-poisoning through re-absorption into the blood stream. It is estimated that 80% of all critical illnesses result from colon malfunction.
Most diets include dairy, sugar, flour and other mucous-forming foods. Even those of us on good diets will have old, hardened accumulations of mucous deposits which slows down a proper elimination. Apart from the health risks this can leave you feeling bloated, overweight and lethargic.
Why colon cleansing?
We are exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a regular basis: at work, at home, through the environment, the air we breathe, food (90 % of food is refined) we eat, water we drink and pharmaceutical medicine.
These toxic build up in our cells, tissues, blood and organs (such as the colon, liver and brain) and remain stored indefinitely, causing various health issues. Various medical research demonstrates that our body is not capable of eliminating toxins in a natural manner. When the elimination channels of the body (bowel, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin) become overworked, they become inefficient and fail to carry toxins out of the body. Toxins are then forced into the bloodstream and settle into those organs and tissues. These organs are the weakest in the body and have the least resistance to toxic material.
That is why the colon cleansing is critical for detoxifying our body. Your digestive health and cleanliness is an important determining factor in relation to your immune system and overall heath.
A colon cleanse is important before, during and after cleansing in order to help and counter the short-term detox symptoms: headaches, nausea, skin rashes, irritability, tiredness etc.

The colon cleanse
The colon cleanse is done with a little help and some pure clean water and herbs. Just as you shower and wash your body, so can you give your colon an inner bath with either colon hydrotherapy procedure or an enema kit, Colonics or enemas, respectively. These are important but not essential to detox.
Purifyne provides the option of selecting a detox plan either with an enema kit or Colosan powder.
What is Enema?
An enema is a procedure used for clearing the bowel and colon of faecal matter. The enema introduces liquid, usually water by means of a bulb or enema bag, into the anus and thus to the bowel and colon. This tends to stimulate the bowel to release fecal matter. An enema is the most practical and effective option for most people as it is self-administered in the comfort of you home. Purifyne provides a good quality enema kit along with easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
What is Colosan Powder?
Colosan is often used as a first step in any detox. This is due to its natural laxative effect as well as its ability to prevent some detox side-effects by effective elimination of waste from colon in a natural manner.
What is Colonic Irrigation?
Colon Hydrotherapy (or Irrigation) is a gentle infusion of warm, purified water that can help eliminate mucus, stored waste matter and toxins from the bowel. This procedure is administered by a trained professional. Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the options available to you while on detox at various colon clinics in London.
