According to supporters of alternative medicine, by regularly freeing the intestine from the aforementioned waste, the whole organism should benefit from it in health terms, since an "intoxicated" enteric tract would be able to create problems not only for the digestive system, but also for other apparatuses and systems of the body, with negative consequences on the whole state of health of the individual.
The intestinal detoxification in alternative medicine is practiced through a cleansing of the intestine which can take place through the adoption of a particular type of diet, with the assumption of particular natural remedies and with the execution of intestinal washes.
Despite the growing number of people approaching these alternative treatments, there is no scientific evidence that can confirm the benefits. On the contrary, the use of these alternative treatments can lead to the appearance of more or less serious side effects.
