Cascara Sagrada Video

Here’s a video made by an herbalist, and he briefly explains the history of Cascara Sagrada and how native americans used it to treat constipation. Currently, it is a common herbal ingredient in colon cleansing products.

I present this video for education purposes only. I do not think Cascara Sagrada is the best choice for treating constipation. There are much better options out there, but cascara sagrada is a common remedy for constipation. Remember, just because something is “All Natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Frankly, I don’t agree 100% with his assessment of Cascara Sagrada.

Will Cascara Sagrada help with symptoms of constipation? Of course it will, but it can also cause a vast number of side effects at the same time. So, it is always advised to play it safe. Do the proper research on WHO you are buying it from. Discuss cascara sagrada with your doctor, because it is possible for it to negatively interact with medications you may already be taking.

When it comes to taking a cascara sagrada supplement, Just Be Smart.

Herbal Colon Cleansing utilizes a combination of herbs to help promote a healthy colon. Some of the more commonly used herbs include Psyllium, Senna, Cascara Sagrada and Bentonite Clay. While they all promote optimal colon health, they also all do different things within your body.

Herbal colon cleansers rely on herbs that bulk up inside the intestines, and then push out any built up waste. This process can take a long time to completely cleanse the colon. The average herbal colon cleanser requires at least 30 days, sometimes up to 90 days, to completely cleanse the colon of toxins. Keep in mind, that some of these ingredients should NEVER be used more than 7 consecutive days!

One major drawback of herbal colon cleansers, is the many stipulations that come along with them. It is very important to drink ALOT of water whenever taking colon cleansing herbs. If the proper amount of water is not consumed, then it’s very possible that you will become constipated. This is a common side effect of herbal colon cleansers, so if you find yourself suffering from this, then you should increase your water intake.

There is nothing wrong with using herbs for colon cleansing, but a few of them can be dangerous if used incorrectly. So, it is always wise to consult with your doctor before using an herbal colon cleansing product. The two most debatable herbs are Senna & Cascara Sagrada.

Oxygen Colon Cleansing Products

Oxygen colon cleansing products do NOT rely on herbs to cleanse the colon. Oxygen colon cleansers utilize the power of oxygen to cleanse the colon of buildup toxic waste.

Because of the way the oxygen breaks down the waste inside of you, it only takes about 7-10 days to completely detoxify the colon. This is one major advantage of oxygen colon cleansers. Also, there are no special diet restrictions or fasting involved in order for oxygen colon cleansing to work. However, it is always wise to eat a healthy diet, but especially important when doing any sort of detoxification program.

Also, oxygen colon cleansing products don’t require you to mix together fiber shakes or laxative teas. Thus, Oxygen colon cleansing is considered more convenient than herbal colon cleansers, especially for working professionals.

One drawback of Oxygen Colon Cleansers, is the fact that they liquefy your stool, so everything comes out really easily, but in the consistency of diarrhea. This can be quite concerning for those not expecting it. However, this should be something to expect.

Which Colon Cleansing Process Is Better?

There is no better process of colon cleansing. Both herbal colon cleansing & oxygen colon cleansing are beneficial in their own ways. Everybody is different, and they’re bodies react differently to both processes.

It is ALWAYS recommended that you do the proper research for ANY colon cleansing product you are considering, in order to find out what will work better for you and your body.
