Every part of the body holds in toxins and chemicals that it comes in contact with. These toxins could come from the food that you eat, such as pesticides from produce or preservatives that are found in ready-to-eat foods. The buildup of toxins can cause fatigue, sluggishness, poor digestion or even more serious ailments like cancer.
Any time you massage the body, whether it be a deep tissue, full body massage or one that is focused on a particular area like a colon massage, the benefits are the same. The chemicals that are hiding in these areas get pushed out and eventually filter through the body’s elaborate cleansing system.
Benefits a Colon Massage
The colon is part of that amazing cleaning system that we all have. When the colon becomes clogged with fecal matter, it’s unable to do its job they way it is intended to. This can lead to a number of problems such as skin problems, fatigue, moodiness, bloating, constipation, or even cancer.
Most of us have some fecal matter build up. If you happen to not have it now, you will. It’s said that everyone at some point will have a blocked colon. This is due to our lifestyle. First, there are a huge amount of people who are not eating what they should and second, to be very blunt, we are not efficiently “pushing” out our waste. This is because the toilet does not provide us with the correct position to “push” out our waste.
Colon massage is a way to help move that stuck matter down to where it needs to be. Plus, it can be done at home. I often give myself a colon massage after seeing it on the TV some years ago and find it helps a lot.
By removing the fecal build up, you will help to eliminate a number of health issues. Once your colon is functioning properly, it’ll be able to remove the waste and toxins in your body. This will help to clear up any acne and increase energy. The biggest benefit may be that it can help prevent cancer. Many health issues can be linked to an improperly functioning colon.
How to Massage
Choose a position, such as laying on a flat surface. You may want to use some sort of massage oil to lubricate the tummy. Once lubricated, place your fingers on the right side of the abdomen, where the appendix is located. Using a small, round circle motion, work your fingers up toward the rib cage. Once you reach the rib cage work your way down on the left side.
The massage should only last a few minutes. Be aware of any pain in the abnormal area. If you find you have tenderness in a particular area, you may want to see your doctor. You also need to make sure that you massage in a clock-wise position otherwise you’ll be pushing the fecal matter in the wrong direction
This massage will help with your bowel movement and to remove toxic build up. Remember that this massage can be done often. Also, increase the pressure being applied. You will first want to use gentle pressure being aware of pain or discomfort. Now that you know how to do a colon massage, you will be able to use this technique everyday to help regulate your bowel movements. Hopefully by doing this and also eating more dietry fibre, you’ll be able to avoid using any harsh laxatives.
