Colon is the part of our body where all the food is finally absorbed and from where the waste is eliminated from the body. Over the years we can end up with a lot of uneliminated toxins in our colon. If we clean our colon once every 2-3 months, we can remain very healthy and focused. Here is a technique to completely wash the colon with saltwater.
