The colon utilizes wave-like movements to rid itself of fecal matter that remain after digestion. The excretory function of the colon may become sluggish because of the build-up of toxins and waste matter. This stasis in the colon further promotes the growth of harmful organisms and the concomitant release of toxins into the circulatory system, both of which can cause a myriad of unspecific symptoms. Toxic build-up is also identified as a culprit to major health problems like obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and certain types of cancer. Detox cleanses the colon by improving the colon’s eliminative function.
