Colon cleansing with magnesium is an effective procedure that you can do yourself at home. To do this, you should study the indications and contraindications, methods of preparing the body and the rules for carrying out the purification process itself by drinking magnesia. We will consider all these nuances in the article.

Indications for bowel cleansing

In the absence of contraindications, cleansing the intestines with magnesium will be useful for every person. Since in a polluted environment, every person is exposed to the formation of toxins in the body.

These poisons of biological origin are capable of entering from the external environment, as well as being formed during life processes (for example, the accumulation of ammonia, phenols, ketone bodies, etc.).

Taking magnesium orally is prescribed for a number of diseases:

• constipation;
• cholecystitis;
• cholangitis;
• poisoning of the body with barium salts, mercury, tetraethyl lead, arsenic and various types of heavy metals;
• gallbladder dyskinesia.

Also, some body conditions may indicate the need for cleansing, for example:

• fatigue;
• lethargy;
• lethargy;
• impaired concentration;
• flatulence;
• swollen area under the eyes;
• skin manifestations;
• allergy;
• problems with menstruation.

About the drug

Magnesia is a drug of natural origin, produced from dolomite.

Magnesia is a naturally occurring drug produced from dolomite mined from a deposit in the Tyrolean Alps. It has been used in medicine for more than a hundred years and has a wide range of applications:

• treatment of epilepsy and mental disorders,
• prevention of premature birth;
• magnesium deficiency in the body;
• increased blood pressure;
• to relieve toxic poisoning with heavy metal salts;
• as a diuretic;
• as a laxative.

The drug in optimal doses is absolutely safe even for pregnant and lactating women. Magnesia is available in two dosage forms:

• ampoules for intramuscular injections and intravenous infusion;
• sachets for preparing the suspension.

As a cleaning agent, it is preferable to use sachets containing 25 g of magnesium sulfate. This amount corresponds to a single dose acceptable for an adult.

Contraindications to colon cleansing with magnesium

Colon cleansing with magnesium solution is contraindicated in the following body conditions:

• individual intolerance to magnesium;
• appendicitis;
• intestinal obstruction;
• rectal bleeding;
• severe chronic renal failure;
• dehydration;
• children's age (under 6 years);
• pregnancy, lactation period (use is possible, but only as directed by a doctor).

Important! You should not take magnesium regularly, only occasionally, if necessary.

Side effects

With intravenous use: headache, polyuria, decreased blood pressure, nausea, severe sedation, uterine atony .

Signs of hypermagnesemia : bradycardia, double vision, shortness of breath, slurred speech, asthenia, decreased and loss of tendon reflexes, depression of the respiratory center and impaired cardiac conduction.

When taken orally: vomiting, diarrhea , exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases, flatulence , thirst, intestinal pain, electrolyte imbalance (fatigue, asthenia, convulsions).

Preparing the body

Carrying out a cleansing procedure using magnesia will require preliminary preparation. It should be done according to two main recommendations:

1. For 7-14 days you should stop eating the following food groups - fatty, salty, canned and smoked. Also prohibited are meat, fish, pasta, bakery and confectionery products, alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, spices and herbs. Instead of all the listed products, products of plant origin are introduced into the diet, which are consumed raw, boiled or steamed.
   

   Important! Vegetable products that are fried or cooked in the oven should not be consumed; oil is used in their preparation in any case. And even with a small amount, the finished product will fall into the category of fatty products.

2. During the period allotted for preparing the body, you should organize the correct drinking regime. The amount of water that needs to be consumed per day is calculated individually using the formula: for men - body weight x 0.035 l, for women - body weight x 0.031 l. In addition to water, you can only drink rosehip decoction.

The classic way to cleanse the intestines with magnesium

Dosage

Compliance with the dosage is a very important factor in obtaining the final result and minimizing possible side effects. Therefore, when preparing a cleaning solution, the dose must be strictly observed.

For adults, to prepare the suspension you will need one bag of magnesia weighing 10 g (you can use a bag of 30 g, but not exceeding this norm) and 100 ml of boiled warm water.

When preparing a suspension for children over 6 years of age, it is necessary to use the ratio of 1 g of powder = 1 year of age of the child and for each gram of magnesium there is 15 ml of water.

The powder is mixed well in water until the crystals dissolve as much as possible and a suspension of insoluble particles forms.

Attention! The suspension has a rather specific taste, which can trigger attacks of nausea and vomiting. Therefore, it is recommended to add a little lemon juice to the aqueous solution of magnesium or eat a slice of citrus.

Procedure

An aqueous solution of magnesium is taken in the following order:

1. The first dose of the suspension is taken on an empty stomach in the morning. Since at this time intestinal activity is highest.

2. Then every 20 minutes a person needs to drink water with a small amount of lemon juice dissolved in it. Drink lemon water only before the first bowel movement; as a rule, it will appear in 1.5–2 hours.
3. Between trips to the toilet, you must continue to drink clean water, but no more than 10 glasses during the entire cleaning process. During the entire cleansing process, visits to the toilet room can be from 5 to 8.
4. On average, the entire process of cleansing the intestines lasts no more than 5 hours. It ends when emptying begins with clear water.

After the procedure

After the final cleansing of the body, after 1 hour, it is recommended to eat a light steamed or boiled vegetable dish.

The next day and for the next three, you can only eat vegetables and dishes made from them (with the exception of cabbage and potatoes) in raw, boiled or steamed form.

The diet of the fifth day can include low-fat fermented milk products (up to 5%) and non-acidic fruits.

A week after cleansing, it is advisable to switch to a balanced diet. It is not recommended to immediately consume fried foods, spicy foods and alcohol, as they can worsen your health.

Reviews

Magnesium cleansing with mineral water

Preparing an aqueous solution of magnesia based on non-carbonated mineral water will help cleanse the intestines more gently. To do this, you must adhere to the following rules:

1. In the morning, on an empty stomach, take a suspension prepared in the ratio: 20 g of powder to 200 ml of warm water.
2. Drink plenty of still mineral water throughout the day.
3. On the day of cleansing, you should not eat solid food. It is recommended to satisfy your hunger with watery vegetable purees and liquid fermented milk products.

Advantages of the procedure

Using magnesium to cleanse the intestines has the following positive aspects for humans:

1. Magnesium sulfate cleanses even very polluted intestines.
2. The general condition of a person is stabilized and muscle tone increases.
3. The cleaning process does not take much time - about 5 hours.
4. The mucous membrane is not damaged due to the inability of magnesium to be absorbed by the intestinal walls.
5. Magnesium sulfate has a low cost, so colon cleansing will not cost much.

Interaction

Use with cardiac glycosides increases the risk of AV block; with muscle relaxants , neuromuscular blockade increases. When used together with vasodilators, the hypotensive effect is enhanced. The likelihood of depression of the respiratory center and central nervous system increases when used with barbiturates and narcotic analgesics .

Calcium salts reduce the effect of the drug. A precipitate is formed with clindamycin phosphate , polymyxin B , hydrocortisone , procaine hydrochloride , salicylates Ca2+ preparations , ethanol , strontium salts , arsenic acid , barium .

Disadvantages of colon cleansing with magnesium sulfate

With the positive effect of magnesium on the process of cleansing the body, the chemical can also have the following types of negative effects on the human body:

1. Dizziness, general weakness, sharp drop in blood pressure (symptoms are rare, but occur in some people).
2. Irritation of the walls of the anus or the appearance of blood in the feces. Such symptoms appear due to frequent bowel movements, during which the saline solution irritates the anus. To prevent these unpleasant consequences from occurring, it is recommended to lubricate the anus after each trip to the toilet with vegetable oil or Vaseline.
3. Dehydration, leaching of calcium and sodium. Occurs when the permissible dosage of magnesium increases. In this case, water and medications that restore water balance will help replenish the lack of moisture, and the deficiency of mineral substances can be covered with the help of appropriate medications.
4. Loss of nutrients and beneficial bacteria. A balanced diet will help replenish the loss of macronutrients; beneficial microflora can be restored with the help of natural fermented milk products and prebiotic preparations.
5. The intestinal tract functions poorly, feces are not excreted. These problems arise in the case of very frequent use of magnesium sulfate solution. They can be eliminated only under the supervision of a doctor, having undergone treatment according to the recommendations.

Magnesia is a truly effective detoxifier for the body. However, it should be remembered that this is still a drug. Therefore, if you have diseases or ailments, you should consult a specialist before cleansing the intestines with magnesium.
