How does the Colon work and what functions does it perform?
The colon is there final part of the intestine and it has to carry out a myriad of fundamental jobs for our body.
- For one thing, the colon is the part that forms and momentarily stores feceswhich “creates” via i good bacteria of the intestinal flora. Then he pushes them towards the rectum so that the anus functions expel them.
- Precisely to do this, the Colon is called to build up large amounts of water and electrolytesand in this way it also regulates the electrolyte balance of the whole organism.
- The Colon is also the “nest” of part of our immune defences, called GALT (Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue). It ensures the balance of good and harmful bacteria, giving us the strength to fight the onset of many diseases.
It goes without saying that the more we take care of our Colon and of better health chances we will be able to benefit.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, before experimenting with natural do-it-yourself solutions, it is best to inquire at your trusted pharmacy, or consult a naturopath or herbalist. Together you can decide which ingredients to use, which herbs it is best to avoid and thus find the most suitable solution for your needs. Indeed, let us remember that the herbsalthough generally safe, in some subjects they can instead arise negative effects, even very dangerous.
In general, however, we could opt for these solutions:
- To obtain purgative, laxative, emollient and antispasmodic effects we can prepare an herbal tea based on senna, fennel, lemon balm and frangula. Just use a teaspoon, leaving it to infuse for 5 minutes, and enjoy the preparation up to 2 times a day, away from meals.
- If instead we need adetox and diuretic action, we choose a blend of dandelion, nettle, artichoke and pineapple. The procedure is the same and the advice is to drink the herbal tea in the morning and in the evening.
- In winter, when we need to help our body, we can prefer an herbal tea based on ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. All of these ingredients will also offer action anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and invigorating. The preparation procedure is the same, but the intake of this herbal tea is recommended immediately after meals.
