Following on from our last blog on Cleanses for Covid, let’s look in more detail at the symptoms of long Covid, and explore how a colon cleanse can help your body to fight off these symptoms.

Some of the Long Covid symptoms include fatigue, digestive issues, breathlessness, lethargy and ‘brain fog’. Long Covid can affect your whole body, and your symptoms can change and come and go over time.

Our digestive system and bowel eliminate waste material and bacteria from your body.  A sluggish digestive system and a poorly functioning colon is prone to common conditions such as constipation, diarrhoea, fatigue, headaches, low energy and even depression. Let us look at how colonic hydrotherapy can be a useful method of complementary long Covid treatment.

Are you looking for a holistic way to help your body fully recover from long Covid? Shake off the fatigue, sickness and digestive issues that may still be lingering in your body.

What is the colon? 

The colon is also known as the large bowel or large intestine. It is an organ that is part of the digestive system. Colon cleansing (also known as colonic irrigation or colonic hydrotherapy) is one treatment that can help improve your gut health. Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle method of rinsing the colon with warm water, to expel faecal build-up. It is a practice that’s been around since ancient times, and is a safe, alternative method to rid our body of toxins that can accumulate as a result of an unhealthy diet, environmental pollution and chemicals and much more.

How can colonic hydrotherapy help with recovery from long Covid? 

The main goal is to clear the colon of large quantities of stagnant, supposedly toxic waste encrusted on colon walls. Doing so, this can help your body work better. Let’s look at what the possible benefits include:

Improving mental outlook

Cleansing the body internally can have a positive effect on the mind. It can aid in alleviating stress and make you feel healthier due to a reduced number of toxins in the body.

Improving the immune system 

Along with any built-up waste, bacteria and harmful toxins can be expelled from the colon, creating a balanced environment that inspires a natural, healthy immune function.

Increased energy 

Releasing toxins from your body can refocuses the energy usually used for forcing waste through your intestines to other parts of your body. People can have better blood circulation, more restful sleep, and a boost in energy.

Prevents and relieves constipation 

Constipation can leave you feeling bloated and generally uncomfortable. Caused by faecal matter that moves through the digestive system at a much slower pace, a prolonged period of constipation may lead to chronic conditions. Colon hydrotherapy can be an effective treatment for relieving constipation as it helps to cleanse the colon of impacted waste and stimulates the natural muscle movement.

Improved concentration 

Your colon and mood are linked a lot more closely than you would think. There are nerves located in your bowels that communicate directly with the brain. Cleansing the colon and restoring the natural nervous system responses can lead to immediate improvement of any concentration issues and can help alleviate brain fog.
