Intestinal cleansing is a necessary procedure for healing the body, removing toxins and residues of undigested food products, which helps to improve the well-being of a person in general, and improve health. The technique is useful even for people leading a healthy lifestyle, and especially for those who like to have a junk food “on the run” and have never played sports!
Almost any laxative will work to cleanse the intestines, but some of them can hurt your wallet, others are used strictly for medical reasons and under the supervision of a doctor.
We will describe magnesium sulfate for bowel cleansing. Reviews about him, both among those who used and among doctors, are positive, in addition, he has a number of other advantages, which will be discussed below.
Information about the drug
Magnesium sulfate, known as magnesia or Epsom salt, is a preparation consisting of the magnesium salt of sulfuric acid, which does not need various impurities and excipients.
Magnesia is an almost universal remedy for various medical indications, from epilepsy to constipation, cerebral edema, and even used to heal wounds.
Important to remember! For cleansing the intestines with magnesium sulfate, regardless of reviews on the Internet, ONLY powders for preparing suspensions are suitable.
At the same time, it is used not only for medical purposes, but also as a means of retaining sweat and eliminating friction between the hand and, for example, a sports equipment, in cosmetology, etc. therefore several forms of magnesia release:
Ampoules for injection.
Powder for preparing solutions.
In the form of balls, briquettes or powder for athletes (when such a ball or briquette breaks, magnesia instantly turns into a crumbly state).
In this case, most often magnesium sulfate prescribed as a strong and inexpensive laxative before various operations or diagnostics of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Also, for chronic constipation, magnesia can also be used in enemas (divorced as for oral administration), but, again, it is worth using such a potent agent only after a preliminary discussion with the attending physician.

It should be remembered that for cleansing the intestines with magnesium sulfate, regardless of reviews on the Internet, they are suitable Suspension powders ONLY.
The use of sulfate mania in other forms, especially sports and without prior consultation with a doctor, can seriously undermine your health!
Possible contraindications
In this case, you should carefully use magnesium sulfate to cleanse the intestines. Reviews indicate that the remedy (especially, used for several days in a row) noticeably worsens the state of health, irritating the intestinal tract.
Recipes for the use of magnesia as a weight loss agent, choleretic agent for home use, etc. are very popular on the Internet.Remember that magnesia will not help in losing weight (all the pounds thrown off will soon return, and the water-salt balance is unlikely).
In addition, the recommended concentration of powder per liter of water is often too high, and only leads to a laxative effect. Moreover, the use of such funds can negatively affect health (from severe abdominal pain to gallbladder problems).
So if you are suddenly interested in such practices, then you should either refrain from them, or consult a doctor.
Pros and cons of taking
Magnesium sulfate for bowel cleansing, according to the reviews of those who used it, is characterized as a cheap, but "angry" remedy, although it has a pronounced effect and a low price, but still has a number of disadvantages. Let's talk about this in more detail:
"Pros"
- The drug acts incredibly quickly and completely cleanses the intestines;
- In this case, gastric peristalsis does not suffer when using the drug;
- Magnesia sulfate not addictive;
- Taking the drug may exceed the recommended time frame, BUT at the same time it is MANDATORY to consult a doctor!
- Ruled out any negative impact on the internal organs.
- The price for one packet of magnesium sulfate may seem ridiculous compared to other pharmaceutical preparations.
"Minuses"
Since magnesium sulfate belongs to a group of drugs that irritate the intestines due to an increase in the amount of water in it, and at the same time refers to a saline laxative, if used incorrectly, it can disrupt the water-salt balance in the body.
Also, improper use of the drug leads to edema and hypertension.
The disgusting taste of magnesia and possible discomfort during bowel cleansing, as well as the preliminary preparation of the body for the procedure, can scare off people who do not want to change their diet for several days.
Important to remember! Magnesia will not help you lose weight!
Magnesium sulfate has a list of indications for which its use is prohibited, namely:
Lactating women we do not recommend taking it because magnesium sulfate can pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea in the baby.
Even with a single use unpleasant sensations may occur, which are usually accompanied by an unpleasant smell, similar to the smell of rotten eggs.
Also from taking magnesium sulfate to cleanse the intestines (according to reviews) pregnant women should refrain.
Moreover, there is unpleasant side effects, such as:
Nausea;
Weakness;
Occasional pain;
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract may suddenly worsen.
When drug overdose (or so-called hypermagnesemia) you may feel nausea, weakness, vomiting, blood pressure may drop.
If you have these symptoms, you should stop taking magnesium immediately and run to the nearest hospital to see a doctor (you can die from hypermagnemia!).
Preparation for use
The procedure for cleansing the intestines is not the most pleasant experience, moreover, when using magnesium sulfate, it is worth serious preparation:
A few days before the procedure (about 3-4), you need to seriously revise your diet: exclude from it all canned, sweet, spicy, fatty and sour foods. If this is not done, then the risk of painful sensations during bowel movements increases significantly!
It also costs reduce (but not completely excluded!) eating baked goods, salt and sugar, as well as any other food containing empty carbohydrates.
It would be great if during preparation you increased the amount of vegetables, fruits and various cereals in your daily diet.
Exercise actively (within reasonable limits, you should not overwork, as in training in the gym), if you have already done them regularly before, make your program a little more complicated.
Prepare a notebook or notebook in which you will "diary" while using magnesium sulfate to cleanse the intestines. Reviews should be left not only about your well-being, but also to record changes in weight throughout the scraper, and then write down the final results.
And, finally, it is worth mentally preparing for the procedure, because, firstly, bowel cleansing itself is not the most pleasant pastime, besides, magnesia has a specific taste (a mixture of bitter and sour) and a smell that is best interrupted by citrus fruits - for example, an orange or lemon, which are also worth preparing.
Saline laxatives are very strong, so the effect of magnesia will be somewhat similar to an attack of diarrhea, so slight weakness after the procedure is quite acceptable... It usually goes away the next day or even after the first meal.
Instructions for use
Magnesium sulfate powder for bowel cleansing is, according to experts, apply or at night before bedtime (but there is always a chance to make the night "hectic"), either in the morning, before breakfast.
The powder is diluted in aspect ratio 3:10 (i.e. 30 grams of powder accounts for 100 grams of water) and drink about at 7 o'clock in the morning (it is better to do this on a weekend or take a day off, since the cleaning procedure will take at least 5 hours).
To fight off the unpleasant taste of the powder, you can eat this glass with lemon or orange. You can also prepare a glass of diluted citrus juice (in a proportion of 2 tablespoons of juice per glass of water) and drink it immediately after the solution.
You can also pinch your nose or drink through a straw. As a last resort, consider that an enema is a much less pleasant procedure.
After that you need drink a glass of water every 20 minutes before the first trip to the toilet, after it you can drink water less often. Moreover, for the entire time of bowel cleansing you can not drink more than 8-10 glasses of water.
After about an hour and a half, you should already feel the first urge to go to the toilet, and after each visit to the toilet, it is recommended to drink a glass of water, it will happen about 5 times.
At the end of the procedure, only clear liquid should come out during bowel movements.
You can only eat 3-4 hours after the procedureso you will have to skip breakfast (and lunch, most likely).
Popular wisdom also suggests lubricating the anus with vegetable oil every time after a bowel movement, to prevent possible negative consequences, but this extravagant step can be omitted, it all depends on individual preferences.
Moreover, even after the end of the procedures you can not immediately lean on fatty, unhealthy and high-calorie foods, and it is also worth restoring the balance of salt and fluid in the body, which has been shaken during the cleansing of the intestines.
Important to remember! In case of an overdose of the drug (or the so-called hypermagnemia), you may feel nausea, weakness, vomiting, and blood pressure may drop. If you have these symptoms, you should stop taking magnesium immediately and run to the nearest hospital to see a doctor (you can die from hypermagnemia!).
For this for several days in a row you need to drink 2 liters of waterA 10-day course of probiotic supplements also comes in handy.
Always stay healthy and beautiful!
“I decided to cleanse my intestines because of problems with digestion and stool, and in general I felt“ out of place ”. For a long time I could not choose what I would clean, rushed and suffered until my friend advised (I read praise reviews somewhere on the Internet) magnesium sulfate for cleansing the intestines, and I decided to try.
I prepared in advance, started a notebook, adjusted my diet (giving up cakes was the hardest thing) and took a day off. I will say right away that the taste is something. I was able to somehow drink while holding my nose and imagining how unpleasant it would be to do an enema. But the effect came quickly, even somehow suddenly. Fortunately, I drank the solution in the morning (otherwise a sleepless night would have been waiting for me) and in a few hours the body was completely cleansed.
If you want to cleanse your intestines with something inexpensive and relatively quick, then magnesium sulfate is definitely for you. But if you have time and money, then it is better to look at something more forgiving and tastes better.
Before that, for cleansing the intestines, I used mainly means like Duphalac, soft and with a rather pleasant taste, but I decided to try to save money and cleanse the body with magnesia. I must say right away that I didn't really want to go on a 3-day diet, but I read on the Internet that several unpleasant surprises could await me without it, so I reluctantly followed it.
Separately, I will note the taste of this muck - it is something bitter and sour at the same time, I could not decide to drink it for about 20 minutes, I sat in front of it and looked. Then I somehow mastered my mixture, ate a couple of orange slices and ... along with a serious laxative effect (I almost never left the toilet) I got weak, my head was spinning, and my stomach just twisted from the pain!
Naturally, as soon as the main “manifestations” of taking the drug subsided, I immediately ran to the doctor. The result of the admission is hypermagnemia, and the urgent recommendation of the doctor not to use such means. As it turned out, I exceeded the recommended dose (I didn't add water to it, maybe I put a lot of powder) and I enjoyed hypermagnesemia because of my stupidity.
However, next time, despite my normal attitude to magnesium sulfate for bowel cleansing and good reviews, I will still return to Duphalac, it is more difficult to achieve an overdose with it.
Thank you for the article
decided to clean the intestines with magnesia the taste was somehow transferred from the toilet did not get out for 2 days acts very quickly
It's not true, it's not so disgusting to drink and the main thing leaves the body in 3-5 hours. Listen to Marva Ohanyan, she is very good at telling you how to properly clean. There will never be an excess of magnesium, since this salt is not absorbed by the body, but leaves in transit and takes away everything bad from your body. All these are horror stories so that people do not buy cheap funds. My sister drinks at the rate of 1 gram of magnesium per kg of weight, once a week or every two weeks. Good luck to you!
And I just use it or even a solution of ordinary rock (or sea) salt. Super!
Many people write that magnesia tastes bitter and stinks. Nothing like this! For a couple of seconds they drank in one gulp and ate a slice of lemon.
And who runs for 2 days? Everything is cleared in a couple of hours and business is without side effects. Super remedy! Too many emotions🤣 also found something to discuss for me.
An excellent remedy, everything bad comes out, the intestines and liver are cleansed. Cheap and cheerful.
I don't know why everyone criticizes the taste? Drinks with lemon juice calmly))) with a bang !!! I liked this express cleansing! I will do it regularly !!!!
I use magnesium salt on a fasting day. The hardest part is to drink these half glass of solution. Cleansing guaranteed. A cheap analogue of Fortrans.
Good day. Didn't understand how to take it correctly?
For bowel cleansing, it is better to use Regulax, quickly and reliably.
