Effective and regular colon cleansing works wonders in the body. It can improve detoxification processes; encourage optimal levels of healthy bacteria such as bifidus; discourage the growth of unhealthy bacteria such as c. dificile and yeast; support the liver to filter viruses, bacteria, and other poisons; increase bile production, which aids in both detoxification and digestion; assist the body to heal from cancer; and more. In other words, using the colon cleanse effectively and regularly "lightens the load" for the entire body.

How to cleanse the colon is a controversial subject even though colon cleansing is an excellent overall support for the body. Historically, the enema was the favored method to cleanse the colon. A client, who has worked as a nurse for years, recently recounted her stories of giving enemas in hospitals:

"The doctors called the enema 'the 3H.' I was told to give patients 'the 3H' all day, every day - high, hot, and heck of a lot!"

Now, even in hospitals, most people address this question of how to colon cleanse by using colon cleanse products such as DrNatura's Colonix or Walgreen's Super Colon Detox Laxative Capsules.

Unfortunately, many people have intolerances, or hypersensivity issues, with various compounds found in colon cleanse products that put a strain on one or more of the body's organs and systems. For instance, many colon cleanse products contain licorice. Licorice raises blood pressure. People with high blood pressure should not take licorice. Another colon cleanse product, senna, contains chemicals called sennosides, which irritate the lining of the bowel and for some lead to irritable bowel and leaky gut.

The enema, or in-home colon cleanse, does not lead to these same complications. Nobody is intolerant to water. Unlike many colon cleanse products, the enema:

• does not harm the nervous system
• does not discolor the colon or cause Melanosis coli
• does not weaken the colonic musculature
• does not cause dependency
• is usually less expensive
• works immediately
• acts therapeutically on the liver, gallbladder, and entire circulatory and detoxification systems
• is historically proven
• is scientifically proven to be the most effective method of delivering therapeutics such as frankincense into the body
• helps the body shed a cold or the flu more quickly

Every day we get calls at the Optimal Health Network asking us how to improve the colon cleanse enema experience.

First let's ask, what are the goals of a colon cleanse?

A successful colon cleanse clears out the entire colon, supports the liver in its efforts to detoxify the body, encourages tissue repair, neutralizes toxins, feeds the healthy flora in the colon, and kills Candida and other parasitic organisms.

An enema series can meet all these goals when you are able to:

1. Clear out the entire colon using 3 enemas in a series.

2. Use OHN Colon Cleanse Essential Oil Blend in the second enema in the series.

3. Take a coffee enema as the third enema in the series in order to support the liver and increase your body's antioxidant production.

We have written much about the benefits of the enema series and the coffee enema. However, adding OHN Colon Cleanse Essential Oil Blend to your enema solution is new and does offer greater benefit to the body when used in the enema series.

The combination of oils in OHN Colon Cleanse Essential Oil Blend -- citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, melaleuca, lavender, and myrtle -- are shown to act together to encourage tissue repair, neutralize toxins, feed the healthy flora in the colon, and kill Candida and other parasitic organisms! These oils can also kill a flu bug before you even know you have it, reduce overall inflammation in the body, and improve metabolism.

We can confidently offer that by adding 3-5 drops of OHN Colon Cleanse Essential Oil Blend to your enema series, you will improve your colon cleanse enema experience.
