Keeping the large intestine clean is a very important action. How you do it?
Purify with salt
Salt is a precious element. It may seem strange but it is also strange for the colon. This "terminal" part of the organism, in which all the substances that must be eliminated converge, plays a fundamental role for the organism and is often underestimated.
There are different methods, from intestinal washes with water, such as hydrocolontherapy , enema with herbs, enteroclisms, cleaning with water and salt or with Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate or English salt), or even drinking a glass of water and lemon in the morning on an empty stomach.
Instead, let's see how water and salt work.
The colon and toxins
The foods that create acidity, refined and industrial and non-integral foods, medicines, alcohol and certain chemicals contribute to dirtying the colon, forming a real mucous plaque rich in toxins, harmful to the body. The organ that is responsible for their disposal is the liver, as is known, but sometimes it is not enough to rely only on him!
When a colon suffers and is intoxicated we receive some signals . These range from excessive fatigue, bad breath, constipation, swelling or flatulence, rough skin, whitish tongue or bad body odor . A correct diet is already a point in favor of the defense of the colon. When combined with simple cleaning with water and salt, health can benefit even more. It is an ancient practice, practiced especially in the East, in India where it is known as shanka prakshalana, and is even more effective when combined with targeted purification exercises.
Cleaning the body with water and salt is thoroughly treated by Zoé Matthews in the book " The taste of joy ", which the writer dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda . Here are illustrated step by step all the rules to follow for a correct purification of the organism, just like in some yoga centers.

What are the benefits?
It is cheap, easy and effective. All you need is some sea salt, 10-16 glasses of water, a stove to cool it and some floor space and an exercise mat. According to the yogic tradition, this practice is useful for those suffering from constipation, meteorism and flatulence.
It would fight stomach acid, also preventing kidney stones. Helps in the treatment of allergies and to solve skin problems such as acne, dermatitis and psoriasis. From a psychosomatic point of view it awakens the body and stimulates the mind. What is needed, in addition to the always free bath, is also an entire day to be able to devote to purification.
And the contraindications?
The purification of the body with salt cannot be practiced by young people under the age of 14, women who are pregnant or during the cycle, by those who suffer from ulcers or serious diseases of the digestive tract, dysentery, ulcerative colitis or who have severe physical problems . For hypertensives, or vice versa for those suffering from low blood pressure, and cardiac patients it is best to consult a doctor before performing the operation.
