What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is the removal of waste from the large intestine. Warm, filtered water is inserted into the colon. This softens the waste which results in natural elimination through peristalsis (natural muscular contraction).
The use of chemicals and drugs is not permitted.
The benefits of colon hydrotherapy
The removal of toxic waste and faecal debris encourages efficient colon function and elimination that:
• rejuvenates the body
• reduces weight excess
• allows freer circulation of nutrients into the blood
• promotes normal, regular bowel movements
• stimulates the immune system
• prevents colon cancer plus colitis, diverticulitis & ileitis
• reduces unpleasant body odour & bad breath
• alleviates menstrual tension
• prevents colds & flu
• reduces cellulite, water retention & skin blemishes
What happens during a colon hydrotherapy session?
You will be asked to lie back on a treatment table. Most clothing is kept on or a gown used to ensure modesty.
A sterile tube is inserted into the rectum and warm filtered water washes around the colon.
Waste is passed into a drain line preventing the release of odours. The process may be repeated several times. Gentle massage may be used to dislodge waste from the walls of the colon.
Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. A series of 1-3 sessions is usually recommended for initial treatment.
At the end of the session you may feel energised with an increased sense of wellbeing. A therapist will work with you to outline a plan that includes adequate nutrition, fluid intake and exercise in order to maintain optimum health.
