Colon Hydrotherapy

What is it?

Colon Hydrotherapy is referred to as colonics, Colon irrigation, high enemas or colon therapy. It is the infusion of filtered, temperature controlled water into the colon through a rectal nozzle that is inserted into the rectum. When the water is filtered in, fecal matter is then released. The colon is the last five and a half to six feet of the digestive tract. It is a hollow, tube-like organ approximately 2 ½ inches in diameter. It’s primary function is to move digested food along by a wave-like motion known as peristaltic action. The colon is the living area for a host of bacteria that help synthesis vitamins, such as K and some B vitamins. The colon also functions to absorb nutrients, water, proteins and salts back into the blood stream.

Who Needs Colon Hydrotherapy?

Virtually everyone has built-up waste in their colon. Most people in developed countries eat a lot of proccced foods, (sugar, bleached four, etc…) As these unnatural foods move through the colon, fluids are absorbed during the digestive process, and a sticky waste is created. This waste clings to the colon walls and putrefies, giving off toxins. These toxins can lead to autointoxixation. It has been reported that some clients have eliminated as much as 10-25 pounds by having their intestinal tract cleansed through colonics.

Cleansed Colon Vs. Clogged Colon

Autointoxication (toxic conditions set up by un-elimated bodily poisons) may be an underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptoms:

INTESTINAL COLITIS

INTESTINAL TOXEMIA

FATIGUE

GASTRITIS

BLOATING

MALABORPTION

Once the colon is cleanse and free of these disturbances, one may experience an immediate sense of well-being.  However, in many cases, it takes several sessions for the removal of the accumulated colon build-up, high proteins and junk foods, large amounts of fried foods, an environment  for the proliferation of disease and a whole host of common complaints is inevitable. Constipation can then lead to “impaction of the colon.”

The job of the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin is the keep the body pure, but they quickly become ineffective if the job gets too large.

How Many Colon Therapy Sessions Will I Need?

Research from scientists in both America and Europe has demonstrated that patients in the wealthier nations carry within their bodies anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds of accumulated toxic waste. In order to remove this waste gently, it will take more than one session. Depending on diet, nutrition, and your exercise regime, a person might need from 10 to 12 sessions.

We have many different packages for colonics. Our most popular packages 8 and 6 sessions, which are done 2 back to back sessions the first week, 2 back to back sessions the second week, and then one per week for the remaining colonics in the series.

For our clients who are unable to do the series, it is highly recommended to do a minimum of 2 colonics session, the colon has a significant amount of water in it. By doing another colonic (the second day), clients report more significant releases. This is primarily because the colon is already hydrated and flushing out impacted matter is easier when it has been softened.

Another important reason for the second colonic is the fact that although one is releasing toxins from the body, some toxins may be reabsorbed (the colon is an absorbing organ). Therefore, some clients may report flu-like symptoms the next day. When the client comes in for the second session, the liver will pull toxins from the blood system and dump them into the colon, where the colonic is readily able to flush them from your system.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy Embarrassing?

NO. Your dignity is completely maintained. You have the option to be in the room alone, or a therapist may be present. During the session, you in a private room and completely covered with a drape sheet. There is no odor due to the type of system we use.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy Painful?

An impacted colon may cause some discomfort and cramping. This generally occurs as the colon contracts to expel waste due to impaction. Once the major impaction is removed, many clients report the session is relaxing and pleasant.
