Herbs for cleansing the intestines

Herbs for bowel cleansing are actively used in medicine for many decades. This fact is related to the fact that human health depends on a clear and coordinated work of all organs and systems. One of the foundations for the existence of our body is fully synthesized proteins, for the formation of which it is necessary to work as clearly as possible the digestive system, which allows us to assimilate nutrients qualitatively. The largest digestive organ of our body is the intestine. It is in it occurs the splitting of complex fats, proteins and carbohydrates with their further assimilation. It is in the intestine that some vitally important amino acids and vitamins are synthesized, for example, Vitamin B6 and vitamin K. Like any organ that works constantly and with high loads, the intestine needs some measures that support its working capacity. The most accessible way to take care of your own intestines is to clean it.

Herbs for bowel cleansing are an example of a sparing and effective "preventive" repair. For living organisms, it is necessary to periodically take a supportive course of vitamins and trace elements, diet, the use of "unloading" days, purification, the colonization of bifido- and acidobacteria. To date, there are many ways to clean the intestines at home using herbs, a certain set of products or medicines. In any case, when choosing the means for cleansing, you should consider the time it will take to restore normal bowel function.

Purifying the intestines with bran

Cleaning the intestines with bran can be the easiest and most enjoyable way to clean. Ordinary bran (the product of whole-grain processing) contains a grain envelope, partially a seed of grain, have high fiber content and very low caloric content. Purification of the intestines with the help of bran begins in the morning, the brewed bran should be eaten for breakfast, a little later, in an hour, you can have breakfast again, but exclude salty, fatty, spicy, fried. The essence of the method is the use of coarse fiber, which, when brewed, is saturated with water, creating a large volume of mass with virtually no calories. By irritating the walls of the intestine, a large volume of coarse fibers passes as a broom along the entire length of the intestine, strengthening its peristalsis. Cleansing the intestines with bran causes a feeling of satiety, promotes weight loss, normalizes the stool and stimulates the secretion (especially the gallbladder).

How do they clean bran?

Duration of reception of bran is individual. Due to the fact that this kind of product is not addictive and has almost no side effects, the use of bran can not be limited in time, however, to exclude the development of the syndrome of "irritated bowel", you should take breaks in reception without abusing this natural remedy. The most optimal option is to recognize the monthly breakfast courses brewed bran with monthly breaks. Brew bran should be mandatory, as taking a dry product can have an excessive irritant effect and lead to microtrauma mucosa.

How often should I clean?

If necessary, the reception of bran can last for life without long breaks. The only thing that limits the reception of porridge from bran, is the factor of eating bran as a type of food. However, bran can be salted, a little sugar, used with different oils, which somewhat brightens the monotony.

Juice cleansing

Juice cleansing of the intestine, in contrast to cleansing with bran, is somewhat more complicated, but no less effective. When choosing juice, it should be borne in mind that the most natural juices are apple, grape, tomato (or vegetable). Remember that potato juice contains a lot of raw starch and can be fastened. Juices from fruits that do not grow in your area can be prepared from concentrates containing a large amount of sugar, among them, fake drinks are most often found. The most effective are freshly prepared juices (from the moment of preparation to consumption, it should be as short as possible, since the oxidation and deterioration of the product start from the moment the plant cells are destroyed). When using industrial juices, you should remember about sugars and preservatives, information about which should be on the package. If the presence of preservatives is simply not beneficial, then excess sugars can cause fermentation in the intestines, add some weight, cause thirst and generally reduce the benefits of purification.

How is juice cleansing of the intestines?

It is indicated to people who do not have gastritis, gastroduodenitis, ulcerous or pre-ulcer states. These limitations are associated with the presence of fruit acids and the irritating effects of juices. When juice cleansing should be hungry diet, some juices (for example, cabbage) can cause flatulence, continue the process of cleansing during the day, the amount of juice, as a rule, does not limit.

How often should I clean?

It is advisable to carry out such cleansing not more than 1-2 times a month. Many juices irritate the intestinal mucosa, some are so bactericidal that they depress the flora. Remember that the acids contained in the juices can adversely affect the tooth enamel.

Apple cleansing of the intestine

Apple purification of the intestine involves the use of apples whole, not separating the flesh. Mature apples, as a rule, do not contain a lot of acid, but still can irritate the gastritis prone to mucosa, this feature should be taken into account when choosing varieties for cleansing. For apples to cleanse the intestines, ripe, whole fruits should be picked up, in no case should they show signs of spoilage or breach of the integrity of the peel (colonies of various microorganisms develop very rapidly in the nutrient medium in the presence of fructose). Apples contain not only vitamins, but also pectins - soluble dietary fiber. Unlike crude insoluble fiber, pectins most gently affect the intestinal mucosa (but remember that the rind of apples refers to a rough insoluble fiber and can go out in undigested form). Pectin is practically not absorbed by a person, therefore, the caloric content of a diet is determined only by the fructose (sweetness) of the apples themselves.

How is apple cleansing done?

Use apples in quantities of up to 2 kg for 1 day, the use of other products is excluded. The frequency of such days should not exceed 2 times a month. With apple cleansing, you can drink water (ordinary or mineral) as a drink.

How often should I clean?

In the absence of obvious problems with the intestines, and as a preventive measure, it is enough to perform apple cleansing of the intestine once a month. As a rule, after the New Year very few vitamins are stored in apples, the quantity and quality of pectins does not change. Remember that the acid contained in apples can destroy the tooth enamel, so you should rinse your teeth thoroughly after each apple reception.

For this method, any vegetables from which salads are traditionally prepared, as well as certain types of vegetables that can be eaten raw (for example, cauliflower), are suitable.

Different sauces, spices and sour cream can not be consumed, so you should also exclude the use of other products (especially potatoes in cooked form, bread).

You can not combine purification with the use of sugars (and fructose including, which is contained in juices and fruits). Approximately 2 kg of vegetables per day can be consumed approximately, more than 24 hours it is irrational to continue purification, since fiber from raw vegetables will perfectly cope with cleaning a day, a longer period of consumption of only raw vegetables can lead to a change in the microflora of the intestine, and some substances in vegetables with prolonged reception (for example, carotene in carrots) are able to stain skin and sclera.

How often should I clean?

Repeat cleaning with raw vegetables can be 1-2 times a month, it should be borne in mind that in winter, many imported vegetables can contain preservatives. After the New Year, the amount of nitrates in domestic vegetables is almost always below normal, but in autumn nitrates in vegetables can contain much more.

Herbs with choleretic effect: dandelion root, corn stigmas, calamus root, leaf of wild strawberry. Herbs with aseptic effect: calendula flowers, chamomile flowers, thyme, sage.
