Colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective method of removing waste from the large intestine, increasing the muscular strength of your digestive system (called peristalsis), and reducing toxins within the colon all without the use of drugs. By introducing filtered and temperature regulated water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through gentle peristalsis.
Flush the colon of toxins and putrefied fecal waste
Improve bowel movement regularity with healthier colon muscle contractions
Suffer fewer colds and allergies by increasing your bodies natural defenses
Colon hydrotherapy can offer relief from a variety of disturbances by cleaning the colon of the impacted and putrefied material. Fatigue, weight gain, headaches, skin problems, irritability, constipation, allergies, gas and bloating are all just a few of the symptoms clients have relieved by colon cleansing.
We look at Colon Hydrotherapy a lot like we look at the dentist. You brush twice a day yet still see the dentist regularly. The same is true with Colon Hydrotherapy. Most clients seek out Colon Hydrotherapy after they run into a problem. That’s like waiting for a cavity to develop before you seek out the dentist. This means there is a “recovery” phase if you will prior to undergoing “maintenance” sessions. During your first session our Colon Hydro-therapists will evaluate your needs and develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.
It is advisable to refrain from eating or drinking anything two hours prior to your scheduled appointment. This is to avoid feelings of nausea and the need to urinate. In addition, at least 24 hours before your session, we advise following the below: No carbonated beverages No alcohol No red meat To enhance your colonic process, focus on eating fruits and vegetables Avoid “gassy” food, such as beans, cabbage, onions, etc.
One colon hydrotherapy session usually takes between 30-45 minutes depending on how the session is progressing and the amount of release that takes place.
All materials, tubing, and speculums are for one-time use ONLY and are disposed of after each client. In addition, the FDA Class II cleared medical device (the Colon Hydrotherapy device) has a one-way check valve to assure fresh, clean, purified water instillation and an internal self-cleaning system that uses the same hospital grade disinfectant that is utilized in many operating rooms.
Absolutely. In fact, getting a colonic during your menstrual cycle is usually a good time to receive treatment since your body is already cleansing. Your flow will not interfere with the success of the treatment.
If you have a concern about your health or the appropriateness of colon hydrotherapy you should consult a doctor. If you are diagnosed with diverticulitis, diverticulosis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, severe hemorrhoids, rectal/intestinal tumors or if you are pregnant, you would be required to have a doctors prescription in order to receive colon hydrotherapy.
No. Colon Hydrotherapy is not habit forming at all. This is a common question. If you consider going to the gym, when you work out your biceps they get stronger. If you stop working them out they atrophy or get weaker. This is the same for the colon. The warm water introduced into the colon stimulates peristalsis or muscle contraction. Just like the biceps, when muscles contract they get stronger.Moreover, the confusion lies in the fact that many laxatives, due to their overstimulating, or over-irritating, the intestines create a dependency.The reason colon hydrotherapy is not habit forming is the pressures used to gently flush the colon with water are lower than what the body normally uses to move fecal waste along.It has been estimated that the body generally produces between 3-3.5 pounds per square inch of pressure to move fecal waste through the colon.If the pressure used in a colonic exceeded the body’s normal pressure used to move fecal waste along it could weaken the muscles of the colon thus creating a dependency. However, this is NOT the case.Per the FDA the pressure used during a session may not exceed 2.25 pounds per square inch. The pressures used are generally between 0.25 and 1.25 pounds per square inch. If during a fill, the body decides to release a lot of fecal waste the pressure can spike.
No. As your colon fills with water you may have some light cramping. It is very common to feel the sensation of needing to bare down or push. Because this is a closed system there is no need to push. All that is required by the patient is to do their best to relax and focus on deep calming breathing. The session is intended to be 100% pain-free.
Absolutely. You can work just as you would after a normal bowel movement.
