Why is Water Important For Colon Cleansing?

Water is one of the main aids used in colon-cleansing, a detoxification process that aims to check the accumulation of toxins in the gastro-intestinal tract; out of the understanding that it is the accumulation of toxins in the digestive tract that is responsible for a whole host of illnesses that torment us.

The use of water itself as one of the main aids in colon cleansing arises out of the fact that water is the universal cleansing agent – and also one of the most effective cleansing agents. Water, therefore, serves a number of important roles in the colon-cleansing process; with the extensive use of water in colon cleansing in actual fact being the real factor behind some of the beneficial effects of colon-cleansing.

While various other mechanisms are employed in nudging the toxins accumulated in the colon to get out, it is only through the extensive hydration that the toxins so ‘nudged to get out’ of the gastrointestinal tract can actually get out of there. After all, colon-cleansing is not an invasive process where the colon is opened up and toxins scrapped out, but rather a gentle process through which the toxins in the body are ‘coaxed’ to get out of the body – and this is only possible if there is plenty of water in the body into which the toxins can be dissolved, and then flown out of the body, to effect the cleansing. As it turns out, some of the toxins we are looking at are substances that require considerable amounts of water to dissolve in, so as to get out of the body – which means that without the presence of water, there would be no way of getting the toxins that colon cleansing aims to get rid of, out of the body.

Indeed, there is a school of thought in colon cleansing circles that holds the view that even the ‘nudging’ of the toxins that colon-cleansing aims to get rid of is itself actually accomplished through the use of water, which would therefore make colon-cleansing a process wholly based on the use of water.

For the record, colon cleansing calls for at least five gallons of water to be accomplished, which is, by all accounts, a considerable amount of water for a human being to consume.

Once the colon-cleansing has been accomplished, the use of the water in the process leaves the person on whom colon cleansing was performed with many beneficial effects. The person, for one, feels extremely revitalized and energetic, which is as a result of both the removal of toxins from the body, and the extensive hydration that colon-cleansing calls for. Again, once the colon cleansing process has been accomplished, the refreshed look on the skin that the person who underwent the process gets can also be attributed both to the removal of toxins from the body, and to the extensive re-hydration that the process calls for. This is important, keeping in mind that the main reason people are walking around with sagging and unsightly skin is lack of water to keep the skin cells well watered, which – in a way of speaking – leads the skin cells to ‘wilt.’
