The product called Bowtrol Colon Cleanse has been around for some time. So it’s a good candidate to review.

Some colon cleansing products can be quite … Eventful. (that’s to put it lightly) In example, you better be calling off work because you’re going to be in the bathroom most of the day. And you better hope you have a day to take off, otherwise have fun explaining to your boss what happened.

What YOU want is to have a cleanse where you’re making that trip to the throne as a natural process. You don’t want to be in there gripping the seat or your knees saying “Oh mercy!”. There are quite a lot of colon cleanse products available. There are some that are quite forceful, eventful, however you want to look at it. Makes laxatives look like candy for children.

Bowtrol’s documentation states it is a herbal colon cleansing treatment. Also states a parasite eliminator.

Natural is the way to go. Personal opinion.

What’s IN Bowtrol? Well, hang on here we go.

  1. Cascara Sagrada (The dried bark of the cascara buckthorn, used as a laxative.) It’s from a shrubby tree of medicinal value.
  2. Turkey Rhubarb (not from a rhubarb pie, rather from the root instead)
  3. Bentonite Clay (the base material this originates from is reportedly volcanic ash, but safe to ingest)
  4. Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) This is from a North American tree, it has medicinal properties.
  5. Aloes (plant variety)
  6. Flax Seeds (from a herb)
  7. Senna (not the famous race car driver, but a plant of medicinal value)
  8. Wormseed (a plant whose oil is used to expel parasites)
  9. Black Seeds (renowned around the world for natural healing properties of many kinds)
  10. Olive Leaf Extract (natural anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal properties)
  11. Thyme Oil Powder (not for seasoning, but has beneficial properties)
  12. Garlic Extract 12:1 (there is actually a wide range of benefits that garlic in general offers)
  13. Certified Organic Clove (I don’t believe this is meant to be smoked)
  14. Peppermint (Piperita menthe) (I wonder how this would be smoked?)

Wow! That’s a lot of ingredients. And I don’t smoke, I was just wondering.

Does Bowtrol live up to its name? I am going to have to say yes. All of the ingredients ARE natural.

The ingredients in Bowtrol add up to doing what Bowtrol suggests will occur if you follow their instructions in the use of the product.

A couple points; Cascara Sagrada can help “get you to go”, allowing the other ingredients a means for escape with all of the bad stuff taken out of you. And Bentonite Clay effectively mops up moisture giving you a less messy stool (to some degree) and it is also good for reducing swelling.

All in all, unless you know you are allergic to any of the ingredients Bowtrol is a good natural colon cleanse.

For a whole lot more information about Bowtrol Colon Cleanse you can visit their website from any of the links in this article for more in depth information if this may be a solution to your ailments, or, prevention of any colon ailments.

The above, and anything I write here is not condoned by any company or organization. My research if performed independently by myself. (FYI)

Greetings & Salutations!

There are many reasons why cleansing the colon is important. The world today is not the world of yesterday. While I despise FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) there are realities. Some of the things that we eat today aren’t quite nearly as healthy and natural as society used to.

The colon is part of your large intestine. It’s a vital component of your body. Without it, you’re just not going to be alive short of hooked up to some mechanical device and nobody you nor I want to be in a situation like that.

The colon is part of you that filters nutrients and essentially, replenishes your life.

The nutrients are then carried throughout your blood stream to every part of your body.

The colon is the storage system of the byproduct waste that is formed while straining out all of the valuable nutrients.

And then … well, you wake up in the morning and live a normal life like everybody else in your neighborhood.

That’s the ideal scenario, isn’t it?

But its work and function for you normally goes unnoticed, taken for granted compared to your eyes and ears.

Unnoticed that is, until you get aches and pains, and you visit the doctor wondering what’s going on.  When the doctor can’t put a finger on what’s going on, you end up walking out the door with some random prescribed drug that hopefully helps soothe your irritation. Then you find out that the prescribed antidote makes your toes glow, and your ears start to flap whenever you walk or run!

Perhaps you don’t even visit your doctor and simply live with it, and deal with it, sometimes even to the point of becoming used to it. (… I wouldn’t do that … *cough*, right?)

The colon has a huge task to do. And it’s exceptionally important. And when things aren’t going well for your colon, things aren’t going well for you. When it isn’t up to snuff, lots of problems can be the result. Things you probably didn’t even know could result.

For example; colon cancer, general constipation, hemorrhoids, colitis which is a gastrointestinal disease, bowel toxemia, expansion of the colon resulting in inflammation, even problems like bad breath, spider veins, and oddly enough acne too. And other things, which I really don’t enjoy writing about. Not that I really get into writing about spider veins or bowel toxemia or anything!

A final note about how truly important your colon is if you haven’t figured that out yet. A good valid analogy would be that it is a component of your car, truck, van, airplane, whatever. It’s your alternator, transmission, oil pump for your engine, radiator, and so on. Remove one of them and you aren’t going anywhere. It’s important to have such things maintenanced every now and then.
