The colon (or large intestine) is a large part of the digestive system. When the colon becomes clogged with fecal matter, it is unable to do its job efficiently. This can lead to a number of problems such as a poor skin condition, fatigue, moodiness, bloating and of course constipation. Digested food from the stomach passes through the small intestines (26ft long) and then into the large intestine (6ft long). In today’s society, this system is seldom given a chance to rest or completely empty!
Most of us have some fecal matter build up, this is due to our diet and lifestyle. This can result in poor absorption of nutrients from the ingested food and reduced peristalsis (squeezing action) of the smooth muscles of the colon that move fecal matter.
Colon massage is a non-intrusive method of encouraging movement of fecal matter and stimulating peristaltic action of the large intestine.
By removing the fecal build up, you will help to eliminate a number of health issues. Once your colon is functioning properly, it will be able to remove more efficiently the waste and toxins in your body. Many health issues can be linked to an improperly functioning colon.
