Harris flush

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Harris flush is a medical procedure used to clear the colon of waste material and toxins. It is a type of colon cleansing technique that involves the use of a specially designed device called the Harris flush kit. The procedure is typically performed by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.

The Harris flush kit consists of a container filled with a solution of water and other ingredients, such as salt or herbs, that is connected to a tube. The tube is inserted into the rectum, and the solution is allowed to flow into the colon. The solution helps to soften and loosen waste material, making it easier to eliminate.

The Harris flush procedure is often used as a preparatory step before certain medical procedures, such as colonoscopies or surgeries. It can also be used as a detoxification method to remove toxins from the body and promote overall health.

While the Harris flush can be effective in clearing the colon, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and consult with a healthcare provider before attempting the procedure. Improper use of the Harris flush kit can lead to complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or damage to the colon.

Overall, the Harris flush is a useful tool for colon cleansing and detoxification when used correctly and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
