How to clean the rectum: practical tips
If a person is tormented by headaches and insomnia, he feels constant fatigue, faces weight gain, constipation and skin rashes, perhaps the reason lies in the clogging of the intestines.
Attention! The rectum performs an important function in the human body – it removes food residues after extracting all the nutrients from them. The stool and the normal functioning of the entire digestive system depend on the quality of its activity.
If a person is healthy, then he does not need to regularly clean the rectum. However, with constipation, especially chronic, the removal of accumulated masses in the intestines is a necessity.
Adjusting the diet
To clean the rectum and prevent constipation, it is recommended to eat foods with a high content of dietary fiber. They soften the stool and improve peristalsis.
The consumption rate of dietary fiber is 20-35 g per day. It is found in 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, including leafy greens. It is also recommended to use:
millet; brown rice; quinoa; oats; corn; flax seeds; nuts; beans; strawberries; apples; blueberries.
Attention! People who are prone to constipation should limit the use of milk and dairy products.
Drinking water and other beverages
In order not to have to clean the rectum with enemas and other similar methods, you should use a sufficient amount of water. For an adult man, the rate of its consumption is about 3.2 liters, and for women— 2.2 liters per day. It is useful to add slices of lime, lemon or mint to the water.
Lack of water in the body leads to the formation of constipation. To avoid dehydration, you should limit the use of alcohol. In addition, alcoholic beverages suppress intestinal peristalsis.
Attention! Hot coffee and tea are useful for natural cleansing of the rectum. They have a stimulating effect on peristalsis and activate the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Inclusion of fermented foods in the diet
A good prevention of constipation will be the use of fermented foods containing probiotics. These include yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut. Probiotics are also found in kefir, kombucha tea and apple cider vinegar.
How to quickly clean the intestines at home
There are many ways to clean the intestines at home. The most famous and fastest are enemas. For its implementation, it is recommended to use a 1-2-liter Esmarch mug with a hose. The water temperature for this procedure, carried out in the supine position on the left side, should be about 25 °C. Bowel emptying should be carried out until the water is completely poured out. Enemas should be done no more than 2-3 times a year.
Attention! Specialists of folk medicine recommend putting enemas with decoctions of various medicinal herbs, for example, chamomile and sage.
Hydrocolonotherapy
A radical method that allows you to remove slags and toxins from the rectum is hydrocolonotherapy, carried out in a hospital. During this procedure, the intestines are washed with 20-30 liters of water using special equipment.
It, like an enema, is not recommended for people suffering from intestinal diseases, such as proctitis, colitis, severe hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome. Hydrocolonotherapy is contraindicated in pregnancy, hypertension, renal and heart failure, during menstruation.
Attention! After it is carried out, care should be taken to restore the beneficial intestinal microflora, which is washed out along with toxins and toxins.
