Why do a colon Cleanse?

Gently clean your colon by removing waste, toxins, pesticides, metals and parasites
Absorb more nutrients from your foods with a cleaner digestive tract
Lose weight, increase your metabolism and experience optimal health and longevity
Give your body the best foundation for ongoing healing or to kickstart your next fast

What To Expect

The Heal Thy Self Colon Cleanse won’t have you rushing to the toilet

That’s because it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals or nasties. It has a unique blend of fibers that act like a scrubbing brush with bentonite clay to draw out toxins. The best part is the more you cleanse the better the results get! Depending on how congested your digestive tract is, it may take 2-3 colon cleanses to see a major elimination of waste.

You may experience constipation or bloating in the first day or two

The good news is you are not alone and this is normal for some people, especially women, as they seem to hold a lot more in their colons – including emotional blockages. Everyone is different in their cleansing process. First and foremost, please be sure to stay hydrated and drink the recommended water intake, or more! You would benefit from doing an enema, colonic or salt flush at some point during the 4 days to help move things along. Some people swear by daily enemas to help with the bloating. Massage your stomach in large clockwise motions. Drink 1 litre of FRESHLY squeezed apple juice or have senna or pure peppermint tea to help aid the digestion process.

You may see parasites come out when you evacuate your bowels - don’t panic!

Some of our members even celebrate this as a win in our private facebook group. They are better out than in, we say!

You will feel good in your clothes and in your body 🙂

You are making such an amazing choice toward better health. A cleaner digestive tract allows your body to absorb more nutrients from your food.

Each package of the Heal Thy Self Colon Cleanse blend is made with love, from us to you.

HOW TO DO A colon CLEANSE?

You have 2 Options: 4 Day Fast Cleanse or more gentle over 28 Days

The 4 Day Fast Cleanse, is where you only eat the colon cleanse mix over the four days as per the suggested daily schedule. This option is good if you have completed some kind of cleanse before, or have a reasonably healthy digestive system.

If you are really backed up or constipated, you may want to start with just doing a spoonful a day in the mornings added to your normal routine, to start the process. After that, if you are starting to feel the benefits, you could do the full 4 day fast cleanse as per the suggested daily schedule. This is not a quick fix, but a process to help clean your digestive system over time. You may want to repeat it regularly over a few months to get the full benefits. After all there may be years of toxicity in your system so it may take some time. This is a lifestyle, not a diet. And of course please consult a physician before starting any cleanse.

Start your day with 1L water with freshly squeezed lemon juice

You could also add grapefruit, orange or lime (or a drop or two of good quality ingestible citrus essential oils) and a pinch of rock or sea salt to rehydrate the body after an overnight fast. Citrus emulsifies fats so your body can remove it and because it passes the blood-brain barrier, it also helps to clear plaque and amyloid from the brain.

Mix the Heal Thy Self fiber blend in warm water and drink quickly

Use 1Tbsp if you are under 75kg or 2Tbsp if you’re over 75kg and mix it in around 200ml (6oz) of water, either warm or cold, depending on what you prefer. This mixture will bulk, so pour in the water, stir and drink quickly! If needed, you can add raw honey to sweeten. It also tastes great mixed with fresh apple juice.

Have the colon cleanse fiber blend every 2 hours, 5 times a day for 4 days

It’s better that you don’t eat anything else during the colon cleanse. However, if you have to eat, apples are best. If you need a salad, that’s ok too, as long as you don’t use any of those nasty store-bought dressings. Focus on eating as little as you can, and if you feel the need to eat then only have clean fresh wholefoods.

Really important: Keep drinking a minimum of 1L filtered water between each serve.

You may feel bloated or thirstier than usual so it’s really important to stay hydrated. You can also drink fresh apple juice. If you experience constipation, you could try a salt flush or enema to ease discomfort and get things moving.

Support your 4 systems of elimination - respiration, perspiration, defecation, urination

Remember to practice the 7 Principles of Health: Air, Water, Sunshine, Whole foods, Exercise, Passion, Relationships. Have an enema or colonic, sit in a sauna or exercise up a sweat, spend some time in the sun, drink plenty of water, do my 7 Rounds of 7, and add in some sleep and you have a winning formula!

frequently asked questions

I haven’t had any bowel movements, is that normal?
The good news is you are not alone and this is normal for some people, especially women, as they seem to hold a lot more in their colons - including emotional blockages. Others have reported that the first time they did the cleanse, they didn’t have a bowel movement for the first 3+ days however, they persisted and kept fluid intake very high, along with implementing some of the recommendations that you can find outlined below (and online here) and stated that when it did release, they were amazed at how great they felt. If you continue to do the cleanse at the start of a new season, with every Colon Cleanse you do, your bowel movements will improve to the point where eventually on Day 1 of taking the Colon Cleanse, you will most likely have a movement by lunchtime. This shows that the cleanse definitely clears blockages that are hindering your nutrient absorption and will continue to work better over time, as these blockages are slowly cleared away.
Additional Recommendations
• First and Foremost, please be sure to stay hydrated and drink the recommended water intake, or more!
• Massage your stomach in large clockwise motions.
• Drink 1L of FRESH apple juice.
• Have Senna or pure peppermint tea to help aid the digestion process.
• Visit a good colon hydrotherapist for a colonic or try a home enema kit.
• If you are having trouble getting the fiber blend down try mixing it with fresh apple juice.
Can I eat on the Colon Cleanse?
The 4 day colon cleanse is designed to be enough that you won’t feel the need to eat food. It’s better if you don’t eat, however if you need to, apples are best. Focus on eating as little as you can and make sure you are drinking enough water. If you find you are really hungry (not emotionally hungry), then only have whole fresh foods like salads or lightly steamed vegetables. You can dress them with a dash of lemon or apple cider vinegar and salt.
Can I drink coffee or alcohol?
It would be better if you could abstain from coffee or alcohol while on the cleanse as your body is in a detoxification process. If you do drink coffee or alcohol, do it in moderation. It won’t ruin the cleanse.
Can I do the colon cleanse if I’m pregnant?
You know your body best so we would recommend tuning in with you and following what you feel. If you do choose to do the cleanse, we recommend taking the more gradual approach of 1 tablespoon of the Colon Cleanse first thing each morning whilst also eating healthy food for 28 days.
What type of detox effects should I expect?
This will depend on your levels of toxicity you have and how your body reacts to the detoxification process. There are a wide range of effects that are possible. Some people experience mild effects, such as a general sluggishness. Others may experience effects that are a bit more prevalent, such as headache and lack of energy. People who have very high levels of toxicity in their bodies may experience something similar to a moderate hangover. During this time, you can take solace in the fact that dangerous toxins are being flushed from your body and that detox symptoms generally begin to subside after the 3rd or 4th day of your Colon Cleanse. Drinking extra water, taking a short nap, or taking a walk can help. Soaking in a luxurious bath with some Epsom salts and soothing essential oils can also be very soothing and reinvigorating. Try these different approaches and see which ones work best for you. Your body will level off and be better regulated by Day 5, regardless of your personal levels of toxicity
I’m pregnant and plan on breastfeeding - can I still do the Colon Cleanse?
You know your body best so we would recommend tuning in with you and following what you feel is best! If you do choose to do the cleanse, we recommend taking the more gradual approach, we suggest you drink 1 liter of filtered water first thing in the morning and then commence eating the fiber blend once a day, every morning for 28 days, or until the Colon Cleanse bag runs out. You can see the instructions online by clicking here.
Is the Colon Cleanse gluten free?
Yes it is.
Where do I purchase Colon Cleanse?
You can buy the Colon Cleanse from the Heal Thy Self Store using this link here.
Is it best not to eat anything else during the 4 days?
To get the most effective results, you are to eat only the Colon Cleanse throughout the 4 days (every 2 hours, 5 times a day) however, you can opt for a more subtle approach, depending on your level of commitment and schedule. If you would like to take a more gradual process, we suggest you drink 1 liter of filtered water first thing in the morning and then commence eating the fiber blend once a day, every morning for 28 days (or until the mixture runs out)

Am I able to go to work during the cleanse or should I stay home (near a bathroom etc) for the duration of the 4 days?
Yes you will be fine. It’s only when you are doing a salt flush that you shouldnt travel too far from the bathroom.
Can I just ask, does the Colon Cleanse really expire?
I know psyllium husk has a long shelf life.. I know expiry dates sometimes are just a guide but just wanted to check? Your right the ingredients do last much longer than the use by date listed on the bags which is just a guideline.
I did this cleanse 2 years ago and this time feels more intense - is this normal?
Yes! The colon cleanse can get more intense every time you do it because the layers of mucosal plaque and debris are stripping away!
When doing the Salt Flush :
I am on day 2 of the Colon Cleanse and just checked out your website for more info. Both the video and the instruction sheet talk about a salt flush on day 5 - would Himalayan sea salt do the job?

We recommend purchasing some Fine Himalayan Sea Salt to use for the salt flush, and it’s a great addition to your pantry (if you don’t already have some). You can also use Epsom sea salts, although in our opinion, the Epsom is more aggressive through the system.
