What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe and effective method of hydrating and toning the large intestine while removing fecal matter without the use of drugs/medications. We use FDA registered equipment and everything is sterilized and disposable. Many health authorities believe that diseases begin in the colon, and that colon health is critical to general health and well-being.
During the first appointment, the client fills out a Health History Form. The therapist will then proceed to discuss the client's health needs and ensure that the client doesn't have any contraindications for Colon Hydrotherapy. The therapist explains how the therapy works and will answer any questions to ensure client is comfortable. After instructed, the client does the insertion (rectal) of a speculum, this is a very thin (diameter of a pencil), sterilized & disposable instrument used for irrigating the colon. Filtered gravity fed 100 water enters the colon, initiating peristalsis (intestinal contractions). The client responds by releasing the water and waste matter. This process is repeated for approximately 35-40 minutes.
The gentle filling and flushing of the colon helps to break down and remove accumulated waste and toxic material so that assimilation and elimination are no longer inhibited. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin to function as it was meant to. Muscular contraction is improved, and a series of therapies will actually help speed up the transit time of waste matter.
What can I expect afterwards?
Most clients report feeling lighter, refreshed, and energized. You may continue all of your normal activities the day of your therapy. .
How maby therapies do i need ?
To obtain long-lasting results, a series of colonics is recommended. A series may be recommended for each day, every other day, or once per week. However, your colon hydrotherapist will work with you to determine the best route to wellness. A series of 4-6 colonics is recommended for hydrating the colon. A series of 6-15 colonics is recommended to cleanse the colon. A series of 15-30 sessions is recommended for an individual who would like to make a serious change in his or her digestive function. In conjunction with an improved diet, exercise, proper rest, and nutritional supplementation, colon hydrotherapy can help transform a client's digestive abilities. Many of our clients find it valuable to continue cleansing once a month or so to maintain the benefits they have experienced.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy dangerous in any way?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a very safe procedure that does not generate any adverse effects. Of course, if you have any medical issues you should always obtain your doctor's permission before trying a colonic.
Some people say that colonics wash out the intestinal flora. Is this so?
Since beneficial bacteria can only breed in clean intestinal mucosa, colonics actually increase the populations of good intestinal flora by providing an ideal environment for colonization. With this in mind, we do recommend supplementing with beneficial bacteria after a colonic so that colonization can take place in the cleansed tissue.
What effect does Colon Hydrotherapy have on our immune systems?
The removal of stagnant waste material helps to rejuvenate the immune tissue that resides in the intestines. In fact, recent studies show that 80% of immune tissue resides in the intestines.
