How To Cleanse Your Colon With A Salt Water Flush

Did you know that you should be having up to three bowel movements daily? Anything less than that is called constipation. Most of the time, constipation occurs because of a lack of fiber, dehydration, or a poor lifestyle. But it can also be caused by certain medical conditions, drugs, or supplements.

A salt water flush or salt water cleanse helps you to cleanse your colon along with your digestive system, by inducing a fast bowel movement. Salt affects the muscles and nerves in the digestive tract and makes them contract, therefore, pushing waste out of the colon.

Once you are able to empty your colon of stored waste, you will also eliminate toxins and improve your digestion almost instantly. Drinking this DIY flush will wake up your liver’s detoxifying capabilities and remove accumulated waste from your bowels.

Remember, an impacted bowel causes low energy levels and overall fatigue, therefore, this remedy will help restore balance in your gut and increase your energy levels fast! This easy flush is certainly cheaper than laxative tea and colon-cleansing drugs.
