Do you feel bloated, a little constipated, and easily drained of energy? In most instances, it might be because you overindulged yourself with the Saturday barbecue or ate one too many of those sliders! When we overindulge in rich food, our colon has to work overtime to process all this food and get the undigested material out of the body through urine or faeces. If this happens often, it does affect your gut flora and in turn gives us indigestion every now and then. Hence, some of us give ourselves a Colon cleanse.
What is the Colon Cleanse You Ask?
A colon cleanse is an alternative detox method using herbal/ medicinal ingredients that facilitate clearing our waste and toxins from the colon.

While green tea is one of the best sources of beneficial antioxidants, all other ingredients are also abundant in antioxidants. Turmeric is a superfood with tremendous anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce inflammation in the digestive tracts, reduce the risk of colon cancer, and is a known carminative which can help calm the symptoms of indigestion.

Comfort Colon Cleanse Tea
From our incredible range of functional wellness blends, we present to you the Comfort Colon Cleanse Tea, packed with great flavors and powerful bountiful ingredients that effectively help in clearing your digestive tract of toxins. This herbal supplement blend contains 1000mg of Senna leaf in each serving that will help improve your bowel movement, boost digestion, and relieve constipation. The active compounds in Senna leaf, called Sennosides can be broken down by the bacteria in our gut and are absorbed by our digestive tracts. This breakdown of sennosides by the bacteria irritates the cells in the colon, thereby stimulating faster movement of any undigested material, toxins from the colon and helping cleanse it effectively, similar to a laxative effect.
Some people also use senna leaf based tea for relief from hemorrhoids.
