Colon cleansing in when you use a colon hydrotherapy treatment or oral cleansing regimens to remove faecal waste from the colon and intestinal tract. Colon hydrotherapy is a procedure where water (sometimes mixed with herbs) is injected into the colon usually using a enema bag and is believed to be beneficial. Oral colon cleanser regimens typically rely on dietary fibre, herbs or pharmaceutical laxatives.

The equipment used for colon hydrotherapy can spread disease, e.g. amoebiasis, it he equipment wasn’t steralized properly and it is therefore important to only visit reputable businesses if you want a colon cleansing at a spa or resort.

The Ancient Egyptians believed in an “auto-intoxication” hypothesis where accumulated putrefied faeces were assumed to line the walls of the large intestine, causing fever and the development of pus as toxins migrated from the intestine to the circulatory system. This idea was discarded by 20^th century but is still today regarded as alternative medicine by many practitioners.

One of the first and most important people in the history of the Auto-intoxication hypothesis is the 19^th century Russian microbiologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, best remembered for his pioneering research into the immune system and for receiving the 1908 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on phagocytosis. He thought that aging was a result of bacteria in the stomach and that lactic acid found in sour milk could be use to counter this. He drank sour milk every day and published the book “The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies“. This inspired Minoru Shirota, a Japanese scientist, to look into the relantionship between intestinal health and bacteria. In time Shirota came up with Yakult which is a togurt like Probiotic bevarage that contains Lactobacillus casei of the strain shirota.
