It is not always that you have to have constipation to benefit from a natural colon cleansing routine. Very often we find that mucous and fecal matter mix together to form a very hard material that gets stuck to the walls of the colon and the intestine. Such circumstances can lead to severe health problems. Of course the nutrients take longer to be absorbed into the bloodstream as the whole procedure becomes difficult. When things like this happen the person who is undergoing such effects can feel depressed and bloated.

When one undergoes a colon cleansing procedure, this hard material is softened and removed from the body. When you use a herbal colon cleanse what you are using is a natural form of laxative. There are several herbs which can facilitate the removal of waste material from your body. These would include cascara sagrada bark, aloe vera leaf, fenugreek seed, etc. These ingredients are also found in the herbal formulas that are being sold in drug store and health food stores.

There are herbs which act as a support to the above mentioned herbs. These include fennel seeds which are effective against gas and cramps, and peppermint which are again helpful for digestion. There are other ingredients too which are included in colon cleansing besides the laxatives. They are dandelion root or red clover which aid in getting the blood and urinary tract cleaned. This ensures that the entire system is cleaned and not just the colon.

However, it must be understood that the herbs are not meant for prolonged use as they can have severe side effects. In fact they are so potent that their action starts in 6 to 12 hours after they are consumed. If you are planning to take these herbs for your colon cleansing don't continue taking them continuously for over a week.

There is another form of natural colon cleanser which is available today in the market. It is an oxygen based formula. The mixture reacts chemically with the hydrochloric acid present in our stomach. After the chemical reaction takes place the fecal matter, also known as the plaque, would melt into a liquid and gas. This then can be easily expelled.

The difference in using the oxygen based formula and the herbs is in the nature of the stool. While when herbal cleansers are used the stool is more like a dark rubbery material in case of the oxygen based formula it is either liquid or very soft.
