6. Flaxseeds and Chia Seeds
Adding these seeds to smoothies, oatmeal, or yoghurt provides fibre that aids in cleansing the colon and improving bowel regularity.

8. Garlic and Turmeric

9. Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe vera juice may promote digestion and act as a gentle cleanser for the digestive tract. Use in moderation to avoid overuse effects. Try this one with a natural juice, blended on the highest setting for a better drinking experience.
