Constipation occurs when waste material moves through the intestine too slowly. It is characterized by infrequent bowel movements and the passage of hard, painful stools.
Many people don’t realize that constipation can cause body odor. The body releases toxins by emptying the bowls. When your intestines are “backed up,” toxins can be released through your skin, causing body odor. Do you remember the last time your toilet clogged? I’m sure the smell wasn’t
pleasant.
Other symptoms associated with constipation
- lower abdominal pain
- flatulence and gas
- bad breath
- sallow skin
- vomiting
- Fever
The best solution to eliminate constipation is a preventative regimen. Constipation is prevented with exercise, a high-fiber diet, and drinking plenty of water. The most aggressive but safe and natural methods are enemas, stool softeners, and dietary supplements.
tap water enema
A very effective cleansing enema is a tap water enema. Tap water stimulates intestinal activity through irritation of the lower intestine. Tap water is commonly used for adults and older children, but should not be used for babies due to the danger of electrolyte imbalance. Seek the advice of your doctor before giving a tap water enema to a child.
To use a tap water enema, you will need an enema bag kit. This can be purchased at your local pharmacy. Fill the bag with warm tap water. Add a few shavings from a bar of white soap to the bag. The soap foam stimulates intestinal activity. The soap should not have been previously used to prevent unwanted bacteria from entering the rectum. Shake the mixture in the bag, connect the tube that comes with
the kit and insert it into the rectum according to the kit instructions. Bowel movement should start within minutes.
Dietary supplements
Dietary supplements that help in digestion and cleansing of the bowls are:
- Garlic destroys harmful bacteria in the colon.
- Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids has a cleansing and healing effect.
- Liquid Chlorophyll eliminates toxins and bad breath.
- The multi-enzyme complex aids digestion.
- Vitamin E helps heal the colon.
- Aloe vera heals and cleanses the digestive tract and softens the stool when ingested.
- Ginger stimulates the digestive system and helps food pass through the intestines.
