We take a perfectly operating digestive tract for granted until something goes wrong. Although the typical symptoms of digestive disturbance include upset stomach, constipation, excess wind, irritable bowel syndrome, less commonplace signs that our digestive health may sub-optimal include halitosis (bad breath), skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis, headaches, migraine, depression and lack of mental focus.
We can reduce the frequency of digestive problems by avoiding stodgy food, over eating (or eating poorly combined food), alcohol, sugary drinks, coffee and taking regular exercise. In other words by leading a healthier lifestyle.
ConstipationIn naturopathic medicine, it is believed that all disease begins in the colon (also known as the large bowel). An equally fundamental tenet of naturopathy is to see this the other way round i.e. that good health begins in the colon. But how healthy are most people's colons? Well, let’s look at some facts and then you can judge for yourself.
These are the ‘official’ UK figures, but natural health practitioners believe the true figure for constipation is vastly higher than this. Naturopaths believe we should evacuate once for each meal, without straining. Based on this naturopathic view of good bowel health, we would guess that at least 75% of the population are constipated to some degree. Apart from the obvious discomfort which constipation causes, it also causes an increased contact time between the bowel wall and pathogens. These pathogens may include viruses, bacteria, fungi and even carcinogenic substances. Surely this can't be a good thing?
Constipation is probably the most common of all digestive problems. It occurs when food is not being eliminated appropriately from the lower digestive tract, (the large intestine, also known as the colon), which also allows toxic residues to build up that are not being eliminated properly.
Whether or not you are constipated, if you are about to begin any detox program, you should also consider a cleansing or purge of the bowel. Your choice in cleansing and restoring the colon may involve colon hydrotherapy or it could involve the less intrusive use of the ingestion of a suitable tablet or powder.
Taking capsules obviously means less intrusion into your busy day attending a clinic. There are a number of products in the market place and one of the most highly rated and well used is a product called Oxy Powder.
This all natural product is typically taken on a relatively high dosage for an initial 7 day cleanse, which produces 3-5 loose bowel movements per day. This is usually equates to 4-6 capsules per day for an average adult. After the initial cleanse, Oxy Powder can be used in whatever dosage is required to maintain regularity, or periodically on a higher dosage for a more thorough cleanse. It comes in capsule form and although the suggestion on the label is that it be taken on an empty stomach last thing at night, it is equally suitable to be taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
Oxy Powder (which comes in vegan capsules) works by using various magnesium oxide based allotropes of oxygen to cleanse and detoxify the digestive tract of unwanted waste matter and relieve constipation. This all natural product contains no conventional pharmaceutical based ingredients, or herbal ingredients, which are often gut irritants rather than gut cleansers. The oxygen is released as a result of the interaction between the magnesium oxide based formula, citric acid (contained within the capsule) and your own stomach acid.
During the course of the year, there are times when no matter how hard we try all the rules about eating and drinking sensibly tend to get forgotten. Oxy Powder can be used safely after over indulgence to cleanse, refresh, and detoxify an overburdened digestive system.
