Hay colon cleansing is a simple, effective, but at the same time fairly aggressive procedure.
Senna alexandria (Alexandrian leaf, cassia holly) is a rare semi-shrub. Senna is difficult to find in the vastness of our country, but she feels great in the desert areas of Asia and Africa. On the shelves of Russian pharmacies, this lover of the tropical climate is a permanent resident.
AT traditional medicine senna is positioned as a laxative, choleretic and hepatoprotective medicinal plant. Traditional healers recommend using decoctions, infusions and other remedies based on senna:
Cleansing the intestines is achieved through the laxative properties of senna. The mechanism of action of the plant is very simple. The leaves, fruits and stems of senna contain anthraglycosides, namely sennosides A and B. Splitting in the digestive tract, they irritate the receptors of the colon mucosa, causing a reflex increase in intestinal motility. As a result, all the contents successfully exit from the intestines - feces and other dirt that poisons the body.
Scientific medicine have been confirmed beneficial features senna. Of particular value for modern pharmaceuticals is the aerial part of the plant, in particular the leaves. It is they that are used as raw materials in pharmaceutical industries for the production of such popular herbal laxatives as Senade, Senadexin, Tisasen, Pikosen, Glaxena, Ex-Lax, Pursennid and others.
In therapeutic (low) doses, senna has a mild laxative effect. But the high dosage, which, as a rule, involves most cleansing methods, can cause severe abdominal pain, rapidly passing diarrhea, and dehydration of the body. This fact should be taken into account when choosing this method of purification.
In practice, it has been observed that senna has the ability to reduce body weight. And although in fact weight loss occurs due to the removal of fluid from the body, this plant is often used by those who want to lose weight, especially the fair sex.
A decoction of senna perfectly cleanses the intestines, has a beneficial effect on the liver and kidneys. It is very easy to prepare it. For this:
Take the decoction two hours after eating, preferably before going to bed at night. On the first night, drink ⅓ of a glass. Over the next seven days, increase the dosage slightly (approximately 20 ml each day). On the seventh day, drink the prepared broth in full (1 cup). Subject to normal tolerance, you can extend the use of the cleanser for another three days.
As you increase your dosage, keep an eye on your health. Of course, you can hardly boast of good health at this time: slight dizziness, weakness, moderate abdominal pain, rarefied stools - this is a normal reaction of the body to senna. But sharp pain and intestinal cramps, severe dizziness, debilitating diarrhea - a signal indicating the need to complete the cleansing.
Theoretically, the laxative effect after taking the decoction is observed after 6-12 hours. In practice, everything is strictly individual. There are cases when the urge to defecate in a person occurred a day after taking the decoction. At the same time, people with a fast metabolism become frequent visitors to the toilet after 2-3 hours.
This technique will be useful for people suffering from the problem overweight. According to the authors and practitioners, senna, combined with Holosas and raisins, is a powerful cleansing, decontaminating, protective and all-natural remedy. Holosas (rosehip extract) has a choleretic effect, it enhances the effect of senna, helping to eliminate stagnant processes in the intestines, excrete stool with all toxic ingredients.
Prepare such a drink according to the following scheme:
The duration of the cleansing course is until the end of the infusion. To avoid disruption of bowel function, such cleaning is not recommended more than once every six months.
Despite the fact that the laxative properties of senna have been confirmed by scientific medicine, any long-term interventions in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract with the participation of this plant are considered unsafe. Experts warn:
The above information is partially confirmed by the reviews of people practicing such cleansing. So, long-term use senna really provokes addiction, and after it is finished cleansing, it is difficult for the intestines to join the natural process of digestion and excretion of feces.
I never get tired of repeating that the cleansing of the body must begin with the intestines, because everything depends on it: blood, kidneys, liver, blood vessels, joints, clean skin, normal stools, general well-being, stable mood.
Today I want to tell you about cleansing the intestines with senna leaves, because this is a fairly simple, but very effective and efficient procedure.
Senna is such a shrub that is quite rare in Russia and the CIS countries, but in Asia and Africa it is at every step. But despite this, this plant can be found on the shelves of absolutely all pharmacies.
Senna owes its widespread use to traditional healers, because it was they who began to recommend decoctions and other remedies based on Senna for:
The stems, fruits and leaves of Senna contain sennosides A and B, which break down during digestion and begin to irritate the receptors of the colon mucosa, thereby reflexively causing an increase in intestinal motility.
As a result of such machinations, everything comes out of the intestines, from feces to other nasty things that send the body.
Before choosing a method of cleansing the intestines with hay, it is worth remembering that at low dosages this plant acts as a mild laxative. But if the dosage is very much exceeded (this is exactly what most folk methods offer), then severe pain in the abdomen, dehydration and violent diarrhea may appear.
I want to offer you a course that has been tested more than once on me and on my whole family, and which I can confidently recommend to you.
It should be taken one and a half to two hours after the main meal. It is best if you do this before bed.
You need to start cleaning carefully, starting with small portions. First drink 1/3 cup, then every day increase by 15-20 ml. On the last day, you will need to drink a full glass of broth.
If the cleansing process is well tolerated by you, then you can increase it by another three days.
