How Herbs Aid in Cleansing
In general, herbal cleansing products sweep the colon clean of waste that should have made it out but for various reasons may have stubbornly resisted your body’s best attempts at elimination. Some herbs are especially good at cleansing the colon and assisting in the natural process of detoxification. There are fibrous herbs that absorb water as they move through the intestines, thus providing bulk and softening stools. That means less straining and pushing with bowel movements. There are herbs that support liver detoxification and health. And there are herbs that alleviate common gastrointestinal upsets and promote a general sense of wellness.

Cleansing Herbs
Are there herbs in your colon cleanse and detox program? Here are some herbs to watch for, as they can be powerful allies in achieving and maintaining optimal health:

• Flaxseed:
  When ground up and taken internally, flaxseed’s soluble fiber is an effective laxative.

• Psyllium husks:
  When psyllium husks are softened in water, they swell to such an extent that they encourage intestinal wall contractions, naturally supporting digestive function. As a great source of mucilage—the gummy, gelatinous substance produced in plants—psyllium husks have both laxative and anti-diarrheal effects. Considered a safe laxative, human and animals studies have shown that psyllium is an active laxative with cholesterol-lowering qualities.

• Chamomile:
  A very versatile herb, there are actually two major types of chamomile, German and Russian, and they are believed to have similar effects upon the body. Chamomile is often used for sleeplessness and anxiety due to its calming effects, but it also helps calm gastrointestinal discomfort such as upset stomach and gas. Chamomile’s properties make it a valuable addition to any cleansing program.

• Buckthorn Bark:
  Mildly laxative in nature, this herb stimulates peristalsis and mucous secretions in the intestines. In this way, buckthorn contributes toward ridding the body of accumulations of toxic waste.

• Ginger root:
  An herb (rhizome) that has been prized in China, Japan, and India for its therapeutic properties for hundreds of years, ginger is also well-studied and respected in the United States. It can frequently be found as an ingredient in remedies for stomach ache, nausea, and diarrhea.
