homemade/fast acting colon cleans?

so i want to do a colon cleanse that i can make at home with not alot of ingredients.

A cleanse usually means diarrhoea.
We do not need cleansing, we are not full of toxins.

Dr Roger Clements, a chemist at the USC school of pharmacy, said tests have proved that no extra toxins were expelled from the body on detox diets and that suggesting the digestive system needs a break is ludicrous.

“We have this wonderful thing called a liver and gastrointestinal tract which is quite long,” he says. “Between them, these two manage everything shovelled into our bodies quite well. We are not made to give the system a rest.”

Catherine Collins, chief dietician at St George’s Hospital in southwest London, said she saw dozens of patients suffering side-effects ranging from bowel problems to potassium depletion. “There is a fixation with the notion that we can detoxify the body through what we eat and drink, but the whole idea has no scientific basis,” said Dr Collins.

You can make senna tea, the pods are available in health food stores. It tastes disgusting,but not as bad as the salt water flush which they also ise in conjunction with laxatives – there’s punishment for you.
