There are a few ways to do a colon cleanse. You can purchase a colon cleansing product, or you can even get a colonic irrigation or enema.


Otherwise, there are ways to do a natural colon cleanse at home, and they're also quite safe if done correctly.


Reminder: You do not need to do a colon cleanse daily, or even frequently. We recommend doing a colon cleanse once every 4-6 weeks†

 water flush 


Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is a great way to regulate digestion. People who support a water flush for colon cleansing recommend drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day.†


Also try eating plenty of foods high in water content. This includes fruits and vegetables like watermelons, tomatoes, raspberries, and celery.†

 saltwater flush 


You can also try a saltwater flush. This is especially recommended for people experiencing constipation and irregularity.


A 2010 study showed saltwater could possibly clear the colon when paired with certain yoga poses.13


Before eating in the morning, mix 2 teaspoons salt with lukewarm water. Sea salt or Himalayan salt is recommended.


Drink water quickly on an empty stomach, and in a few minutes, you’ll probably feel an urge to go to the bathroom.


Do this in the morning and in the evening, and make sure to stay home near the bathroom for a while after the cleanse. You may need to go to the bathroom multiple times.†

 juices & smoothies 


Juices are popular colon cleansers. These include fruit and vegetable juice fasts and cleanses, like master cleanses.


There isn’t enough research on these for the colon, however. In fact, some research points out risks.†


Even so, moderate intake of juices and juicing can be good for you. Juice blends contain some fiber and nutrients that benefit digestion. They also hold water to help hydrate and keep up regularity.†


What’s more, a study in 2015 found that vitamin C may help cleanse the colon. Vitamin C is found in lots of fruits and vegetables added to juice blends.14


Popular juices in juice fasts and cleanses include apple juice, lemon juice, and vegetable juices. However, some dietitians may recommend smoothies over juices for colon and overall health.†


Since pulp and skins are removed when juicing, juices contain less fiber. Fiber is great for the colon, and smoothies hold a lot more fiber.†


You don’t need to fast and drink only juices and smoothies to get any benefit. Just try including more in your diet, such as with a daily juice or smoothie.†

 more resistant starches 


Resistant starches are similar to fiber. They’re also found in plant foods like potatoes, rice, and green bananas.†


These promote a healthy colon by boosting gut microflora. A 2013 review on resistant starches also found they reduce colon cancer risk.15


Including these in the diet can be great for cleansing the colon.†

 probiotics 


Adding probiotics to the diet is another way to cleanse the colon. This also boosts overall health in many other ways.†


You can get more probiotics by taking probiotic supplements. Also, eat lots of probiotic-rich foods, like yogurt, kimchi, pickles, and other fermented foods.†


Probiotics introduce good bacteria to the gut with the help of fiber and resistant starches. These curb inflammation and promote regularity — two elements of digestive health related to the colon.†


Apple cider vinegar is also considered probiotic and is included in colon cleanses. The enzymes and acids that apple cider vinegar contains supposedly suppress bad bacteria.†

 herbal teas 


Trying some herbal teas may assist digestive health via the colon.†


Laxative herbs like psyllium, aloe vera, marshmallow root, and slippery elm may help with constipation. Make sure to talk to your doctor and follow directions closely before using these herbs. Also use them sparingly; otherwise, they can be harmful.†


Other herbs like ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper contain antimicrobial phytochemicals. These are thought to suppress bad bacteria. For this reason, they’re included in lots of cleanses, though studies are needed.†
