A true detox must include the intestines, also known as the bowels. This is the body’s main channel for the elimination of toxic waste, which is why itβs so important to your wellbeing that you get started focusing on this system.
The small intestine is where digestion and the absorption of nutrients takes place. The large intestine or colon processes and eliminates digestive and some cellular waste.
Most people’s bowels are in terrible shape because of the processed foods, high-protein diets and other acidic foods that cause acidosis which destroys the bowel walls. The medical community calls this irritable bowel syndrome, Crohnβs, enteritis, colitis, cancer, etc.
Refined starches, sugar and dairy products coat the bowel walls with a toxic layer called mucoid plaque. This blocks the absorption of nutrients and can literally starve the body if it gets bad enough. This sludge is also a breeding ground for parasites that gobble up nutrition that was meant for you to absorb.
Mucoid plaque is acidic and can eat away intestinal tissue.
If you are not moving your bowels at least twice a day you are constipated. Some people only move them once every week or two. Fecal matter sitting in the colon putrefies and toxins get reabsorbed into the blood causing headaches, bad breath, brain fog, bloating, abdominal pain, heart arrhythmias and more. If youβre using pharmaceutical antibiotics, sulfur accumulates in the bowels and it suppresses the lymphatic system and weakens intestinal tissues. Sulfur is a fungal proliferator that explodes yeast like Candida and other micro parasites.
Enemas can help if you are constipated but be careful of not becoming too dependent on them. The bowels must be restored so it can handle elimination on its own. Over stimulation won’t ease a chronic bowel condition.
On the other hand, colonics penetrate deeper and can help clear dry material that been there for years, but they should be used only for a certain period of time. During your detox at Ananda, you have a colema every morning with the option to have one during the evening.
A Colema is a self-administered colon hydrotherapy procedure much like an enema, only deeper. It is a thorough way to cleanse the colon (large intestine) and remove internal impurities in a powerful yet safe manner.
At Ananda, our team of professionals is here to guide you through the process step by step and answer any questions you may have. Colonic irrigation Thailand at our center ensures you receive optimal body function, and youβll enjoy a premium value for a superior service.

Switching to a diet of mostly raw fruits and vegetables is one of the best things you can do for your gut health. They cleanse naturally and keep things moving.
When detoxing, always make sure your kidneys are filtering out lymphatic waste. If your urine is clear, you’ve got work to do. Lymph is the body’s sewer system and all your trillions of cells in the body dump their waste into it for cleaning. Cells in the GI tract are no different. If the lymph is not clean, it becomes acidic and destroys tissues in the esophagus, stomach, intestines and all over the body. The adrenal glands control the kidneys so you won’t have clean lymph unless they are strong. Weak adrenals can also cause nerve weakness leading to constipation. Work on the adrenals at the same time you work on the kidneys in the GI tract.
At Ananda Yoga Detox, in order to clean and restore the intestines we use herbs that gently stimulate the bowels and that are not habit-forming like laxatives. They help clean out bowel pockets, help break down mucoid plaque, stimulate lymph and blood flow, soothe and remove inflammation, kill parasites and strengthen the intestinal wall.
Unhealthy intestines are also a breeding ground for all kinds of unwanted bacteria, fungus and microparasites. If you’re eating raw fruits and vegetables your body will restore its balance of good gut flora naturally without the need of probiotics.
If you experience hemorrhoids, bowel prolapses or bowel pockets also known as diverticulitis you have connective tissue weakness. This is linked to the parathyroid glands which controls calcium utilization in the body. The bones, joints, skin, teeth, blood vessels, organs, etc., all depend on calcium to keep their structure.
