Psyllium Colon Cleanse

Can It Really Clean Your Colon?

Yes, psyllium powder can be used to cleanse your bowels quite well and quickly. However, there are some careful guidelines that should be followed by anyone wishing to use this natural colon cleanser. If you have bowel disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation, always seek medical advice before trying to use psyllium husk.


Ok I Have Some Psyllium Husk Powder, Now What?

Firstly we recommend you test yourself to make sure you aren't allergic to psyllium. To do this please see our psyllium husk information page. You should take approximately 10grams per day with plenty of water. Some prefer to take 5grams in the morning and 5grams in the evening whilst taking 10grams or two teaspoons worth is most common. Make sure you take all 10grams of psyllium in the morning before eating, and try not to eat until after 1 and a half to 2 hours. Immediately after taking psyllium, it should be chased down with 2 glasses of water. 1.5 to 2litres of water should be taken constantly throughout the next 2 hours of taking psyllium. Drinking proper amounts of water is very important to stop any chances of intestinal obstruction.

How Long Should Psyllium Seed Husk Powder Be Used For?

Always take psyllium on an empty stomach, and follow it with plenty of water for the next 1 to 2 hours depending on how much you've taken. We recommend taking psyllium powder for cleaning your colon 5 days in a row, then taking a 2 day break, and using it for another 5 days. Psyllium should be used for small amounts of time, and should not be used regularly in colon cleanses because it increases the chances of blockages in the colon and will also ruin the balance of intestinal flora and remove good bacteria from your gut.

Have You Any More Tips On Using Psyllium Husk Powder?

We cannot stress enough, in order to use this natural colon cleanser safely, it is extremely important to drink plenty of water after you take psyllium, taking it on an empty stomach, but also, to eat a small bowl full of fresh sugar free yogurt to help replenish good bacteria in your gut whilst on a herbal colon cleanse. Never take psyllium husk for periods longer then 10 days in a row, a better option than using this is an oxygenated powder that would melt away junk in your colon without any danger of an allergic reaction or risk of a blockage in your bowels. Please see our Colon Cleanse product selection for high quality recommended supplements you could use in your cleanse.
