The colon is part of the large intestine. There are actually 6 parts to the large intestine:

• cecum
• ascending colon
• transverse colon
• descending colon
• sigmoid colon
• rectum. 

Most digestion of your food has already occured in the small intestine. The large intestines main functions are to absorb water, nutrients and get rid of waste. It moves the waste down the tract by rhythmic contractions of the intestinal muscles. If it is not doing this your body can become unwell.

Constipation, bad breath, irritable bowels, body odour are all signs of a congested colon. We use perfumes, breath fresheners, toothpastes, deodorants to cover these things up but what we really need to do is cleanse our colons! It's not complicated and this site is here to help you.
