Colon Cleanse Recipes - Folk Remedies for Constipation

For those people who are looking for a cost effective and simple means of conducting their own colon cleansing or detox session from the privacy and comfort of their homes, there are a number of colon cleanse recipes based in folk wisdom that still hold true today. Most involve simple increases of fiber or the use of other natural laxatives that help the body to expel the built up waste that plagues so many of us. The problem with the modern diet especially is that it contains such a high volume of refined sugars and synthesized fats, giving us more problems to contend with than the average person had a century ago, when whole foods were really the only option.

Some of the most popular colon cleanse recipes recommend adding psyllium husk to one’s food. This is also one of the most popular ingredients in a number of over the counter colon cleansing recipes today, making it a lasting proposition. One recipe that was recommended includes grinding up 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk into a cup of fresh goat milk. While this sounds far from appetizing, it is probably effective in its ability to flush out the system. All of these should be taken with plenty of water to keep the colon fully cleansed, with no residue.

Another one of the older colon cleanse recipes that took shape in the 1950’s recommends eating a whole half of a pineapple for breakfast every morning. Because pineapple can act as a mild laxative, this makes sense in modern times as well, though one could combine it in a smoothie with ground flax seeds for added fiber, and a cup of yogurt for the benefit of probiotics, which help boost immune system levels and flush out parasites from the body.

Folk wisdom is all around us in many of the colon cleanse recipes that families pass down over generations. An apple a day may help serve as a reminder that daily fiber is necessary. For more ideas from past generations about colon cleansing remedies that still work, it’s helpful to ask your own relatives, as well as do a little bit of research on the internet in forums or other health-related arenas. This is an area in which it seems just about everyone is an expert, meaning that there is less room for error and all the room in the world for experimentation with a few known ingredients to create the building blocks of recipes of your own.
