Why conduct
The intestine is the most important organ of digestion and excretion of a person. It has a length of about 4 meters and consists of a thin and large intestine. In the intestine there is a process of digestion, absorption of nutrients into the blood, formation of feces from undigested food residues and harmful compounds, removing them from the body.
With improper and unbalanced nutrition, low physical activity, some diseases, in the bends of the intestine on its walls there are deposits of waste substances that gradually thicken and form stool stones. This leads to a deterioration of the body, the appearance of bloating, flatulence, constipation, until the intestinal obstruction. Also, toxins are spread by the bloodstream throughout the body, disrupting the functioning of its systems.

to table of contents ^Preparation for cleansing
For a few days before the procedure, you should follow a special diet that allows the body to move the cleaning easier:
- Reduce or exclude products of animal origin - meat, poultry, eggs, milk and fermented milk products.
- Exclude heavy food for the stomach, spicy or too salty foods.
- Abandon the use of alcoholic beverages - they contribute to dehydration of the body.
- Eat only natural sweets - raisins, dried apricots, honey.
- Drink as much pure water as possible - the color of urine should be very light.
Cleaning of the intestine can take several hours, so it is recommended to choose a day off for the procedure.
Salt water concentration
Salt prevents the absorption of water through the mucous membranes and excretion in the urine. However, during the procedure, not salted water, but slightly salted water is used - according to the rules of yoga, the fluid entering the body must have the same density with its natural fluids.
To get the right solution for 1 liter of boiled and heated to 40 degrees of water, take no more than 10 grams( 1 tablespoon) of salt, preferably sea or unrefined cooked. If the water seems too salty to taste, you need to reduce the concentration. To avoid feeling nauseous, a little lemon juice can be added to the solution.
to the table of contents ^How to spend
Cleaning the body should be done in the morning, on an empty stomach. The algorithm is as follows:
- Prepare 2-3 liters of warm salt solution. Since you need to drink it gradually, you can prepare the remedy in several approaches, starting with 1 liter.
- Drink 1 cup of solution.
- Do a series of special exercises.
- When urge to defecate empty the intestine.
- Drink the remaining 2-3 liters of liquid in 1 glass, alternating each of them with the course of exercises and the evacuation of stool.
The procedure should be guided by certain rules:
- It is advisable to drink at least 250 milliliters of solution every 30 minutes. Even if there is a persistent aversion to salt water, you should not stop taking it, otherwise you can not achieve the desired result.
- Emptying of the intestine can occur after each water intake. First, stool masses have a dark color and a high density, gradually becoming lighter and softer. The procedure is considered complete when clean water starts to come out.
- If urge to defecate absent after drinking 6 cups of solution, with a feeling of nausea and stomach overflow, you need to do 2-3 series of exercises in a row. If the evacuation did not come - call it with a non-salty enema with 0.5 liters of cool boiled water. Thus, the emptying mechanism will start, and in the future, difficulties with it will not arise.
- After the end of cleaning, it is recommended to drink 2 more glasses of unsalted water( or with a pinch of baking soda) of water and induce vomiting. Due to this, the stomach completely empties and the evacuation mechanism switches off. If this is not done, the urge to defecate will occur for some time.
- It is not recommended to eat food in the process of bowel cleansing. You can drink a little vegetable oil - it helps to restore the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, damaged by a large amount of salt water.
