- The Mental Health Herbalist on YouTube,
helping you strengthen your mental health
with better digestion.
So if you're looking at this video today,
it's the first in this series of videos looking
at improving your digestion for better mental health,
and today we're looking at whether you need a colon cleanse.
There's a lot of interest in colon cleansing
on YouTube and on the internet,
so if you're interested in a colon cleanse,
you need to stay tuned to watch this video.
Good digestion is really, really important
for a better mental health
and if you are tuning into a lot of the health trends today,
you know that how we feel is very much associated
with what we eat and also what we digest.
So, we know very well there's a strong association
between feeling well and eating well.
If we think of digestive system as a tube,
food enters the body, it's broken down,
and some of it is eliminated and the rest of it is absorbed.
That simply is the process of digestion.
Intake, breaking down, digestion,
and then absorption of the good minerals
and what we need from the food, and then elimination.
However, when people have problems
with digestion and elimination,
it can cause the system to be clogged up.
That's when we start thinking about a colon cleanse,
looking at a colon cleanse for improving your health,
and the most simple way to know
if you are have a clogged up system
is if you have constipation.
Constipation is holding onto waste in the body
that the body is trying to eliminate.
You want to have at least one bowel movement per day
and if you don't have that,
then you are really more seriously congested
with constipation and you should think about
moving that waste from your body,
changing your dietary habits
so that you can improve the elimination of waste.
If we're not eliminating waste, we're holding onto it,
and it's recirculating around the body
and that's toxic materials that are extracted
from the foods that are supposed to be eliminated
and held back in the blood system,
entering the brain again, entering the heart,
entering all the systems of elimination delivered,
the kidneys, et cetera,
increasing the toxic load, increasing the workload
that those organs need to do,
so certainly on top of eliminating today's waste,
to holding onto yesterday's waste,
and weeks of waste, and so on.
So what we really need to do to start eliminating the waste
is to unclog our colon and it's really simple,
it can be done naturally, and in the next video,
I'm gonna show you my natural ways
to have a colon cleanse.
It's not very complicated.
Just by improving our diet, taking in certain foods
that'll help improve elimination,
and of course water, hydration, is central to that.
So, the main problems associated with a clogged up colon
or a congested system include headaches, constipation
and fatigue, arthritis, clogged sinuses, and asthma,
water retention, dry skin and anxiety, insomnia,
depression, and poor concentration.
So if you have any one of those 12 conditions
or a number of them together along with constipation,
you should think about whether you need a colon cleanse.
Our colon cleanse can start very simply
by increasing your intake of water,
and in the next video, I'm gonna show you my natural ways
to do a colon cleanse.
It doesn't have to be very complicated,
you don't need colonic irrigation
or any of that complicated stuff.
It simply can be done naturally through using foods
for better health, better digestion,
and ultimately feeling better.
