How to Use Miralax As a Detox

Detoxification cleans out the body by removing wastes, debris and other harmful substances. One way to detoxify the body is to clean out the colon ( large intestines). The Mayo Clinic recommends taking laxatives as one way to treat constipation 1. Miralax is an over-the-counter laxative that loosens fecal matter, relieving constipation and promoting more frequent bowel movements 1. As a short-term remedy, Miralax can function as a detox.

Choose a beverage to use with the Miralax. Some possibities are water, fruit or vegetable juices, soda, tea or coffee.

Pour 4 to 8 ounces of your beverage choice into a glass.

Fill the cap of the Miralax bottle with the powder to the white pre-measured line within the cap.

Empty the cap into the beverage and stir with a spoon. The Miralax dissolves in the beverage.

Drink the mixture once a day only. The Miralax website says the powder has no taste.
