Colon cleansing has become increasingly popular in recent years, but it’s been around for ages. Early mentions of colon cleansing date back to biblical times, and today’s health food stores have shelves lined with different colon cleansers.

What accounts for the dramatic rise in people interested in doing colon cleansing these days? Part of it has to do with the rise in popularity of the Master Cleanse and other body cleansing programs. A cleansing program is designed to remove a great deal of toxicity from the body, and as people market these programs, they regularly talk about how much waste the average person has stored in their colon and in their body - there are even some incredible pictures of the filth that has been removed. So, in a nutshell, more people are becoming aware of the need for colon cleansing, because more people are talking about it.

Diets and lifestyles have also changed a great deal in the last fifty years and even more so in the last hundred years. In general, people are eating more processed foods, and less natural foods. This combination is a recipe that allows more filth to build in the colon, where it often sits uneliminated, because the fiber from natural foods that was meant to push the waste out of the body is regular missing form our diets. And, unfortunately, as this waste sits in the colon, it putrefies, and the result is many times disease for the body that carries it.

In fact, many naturopaths believe that all disease begins with this waste stuck in the colon and that all disease can be attributed to toxic waste stored in the body. But, through the use of colon cleansing methods like enemas, colonics, and herbal or oxygenating colon cleansing products, large amounts of this waste can be removed from the body - for good. And when the body and colon are really cleansed though deep body cleansing, it’s quite common for health problems disappear.
