How Ancient Egyptians Balanced Their Colon (How
to Cleanse Without Fasting)



Ancient Egyptians Used "Psyllium"

One of the practices they used to balance their intestinal system was to take psyllium every day.

Psyllium is a wonderful soluble fiber that has so many health benefits.

Psyllium is a fibrous seed and often made in the form of a powder for cleansing.

It was used in ancient Egypt and had been described in the Ebers Papyrus (medical documents of 1500 BC).

Its use was for its laxative and antidiarrheal properties. Isn't that interesting - what does that tell you?

It tells you that it can have both effects - one of which it is that you need at that time - so therefore it is "balancing".

Here is a video where you can see the effects of how it works inside of you. This will show you why it "scrubs" your colon wall as it leaves the body.

'How Psyllium Works in Your Body'

Psyllium had other early Old World uses of psyllium seeds were to treat sores of the mouth and throat, stop nosebleeds, treat complications of the liver, and help to fix loose teeth. Psyllium was
administered to assuage complications from scurvy and worms.

The plant itself is 'plantago' and other parts of the plant are known to be medicinal as well.

Native Americans and Aztecs used plantago husks and leaves as cough remedies, for wounds, insect bites, and headaches.

Where do we get psyllium? Many intestinal cleansingproducts on the market contain psyllium. One of the most popular products found on grocery store shelves is Metamucil - but that has other stuff in it including lots of sugar.

Here are two sources for a more natural and healthy psyllium product:

1 - Trader Joe's Store (if you are lucky enoughto have one near you) has a product of pure psyllium call Secrets of the Psyllium.

2 - Young Living Essential Oils have wonderful internal cleansing products. ICP, the Multiple Fiber Beverage is one of them. And the effects of the essential oils in this product makes it that much more powerful.

One very important thing to remember when youtake psyllium: Drink Water!
