Nowadays, the terms "inner cleansing" and "detoxification" are being used interchangeably although some health professionals claim that colon cleansing does not necessarily detoxify the body.

Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that inner cleansing does have numerous health benefits. It is recommended for those who suffer from constipation, chronic inflammation, low energy levels, premature aging, diabetes, skin allergies, excessive weight gain and even multiple sclerosis.

While celebrities and other high profile personalities in the United States turn to spas for inner cleansing, almost anyone can adopt a detoxification plan right at home. There are many ways to promote inner cleansing.

Over the years, the following have been said to be effective:

* Detox mono diet. Under this type of diet, a particular type of food with cleansing properties is taken regularly for a period of time until the colon is cleansed thoroughly. This diet relies on restricting food choices to one kind of food such as grape and apples. Most people find it difficult to follow this diet plan because it is monotonous and can lead to food craving

* Juice fast. Proponents of the juice fast claim that excessive eating of meat and processed food can overwork your digestive system. This condition can lead to disease and a general sense of malaise.

By consuming certain fruit and vegetable juices, you allow your digestive system to relax and eliminate accumulated waste and toxic build-up that have lodged in your colon. The result is a slimmer figure and a general feeling of lightness.

The only problem with this diet is that some health professionals are concerned that a prolonged liquid diet may affect the proper functions of the body's vital organs.

* Raw food diet. Popularized by Hollywood actors and actresses in recent years, the raw food diet is based on the idea that the healthiest way to eat is to consume food in its original and unprocessed state. The raw food diet is mainly a cleansing plan.

Its followers claim that they not only feel good inside but also look good on the outside. It is said to be more of a beauty prescription rather than a prescription for good health as its effects are best seen on the skin, hair, eyes and figure.

Anyone who wishes to start a raw food diet should first consult a nutritionist as not all food, such as meat, poultry and fish, can be safely consumed in its raw state.

Diet is only one component of inner cleansing. The best inner cleansing plan for good health should be:

- reduce consumption of anything high in fat, salt and sugar;

- eliminate accumulated waste and parasites with the use of high quality dietary fiber like psyllium and a de-wormer like mebendazole;

- nourish the body after cleansing by taking in more fruits and vegetables, vitamin supplements and a probiotic formula like lactobacilli;

- energize the body by getting into a physical fitness program; and

- a lifestyle of overall wellness by practicing stress reduction techniques and by having a more positive outlook in life.
