What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as colon cleansing, a colonic, or colonic irrigation is a procedure in which large amounts of water are flushed through the colon in order to support detoxification, boost energy, relieve abdominal pain and support the immune system.
What to expect during session?
Sessions will be 45 minutes on the machine. Please expect to be here for 1 hour though. Also, make sure to drink lots of water and not eat 2 hours before arrival!
When you arrive for your appointment we will discuss the new client form you completed online and talk about your goals with colon hydrotherapy. I’ll then show you the colon hydrotherapy room. I will give you a gown and let you undress in your own privacy from the waist down and position yourself comfortably on the Angel of Water colon hydrotherapy machine. You will gently and easily insert a lubricated rectal tube in privacy, no more than 2-3 inches. The Rectal tube, is the size of a pencil, individually packaged, sterile, for single use, and is properly disposed of after the session.
I will then enter the room and ensure that the water flow is adequate and properly entering. The water flow will be trickling into you. It is gentle and can be stopped at any time. We call it ‘gravity-fed’ because the rate at which it enters the body is solely regulated by gravity, It is not high pressured water, like some colon hydrotherapy machines, and therefore, in my opinion much safer and gentler. The water is run through a carbon filter and ultra violet purification system, which removes any sediment, rust, or chlorine, before it enters your body. Warm filtered water enters the colon, hydrates, soaks and loosens the waste. Feces release naturally. An odor exhaust system ensures the session room remains odor free.
Who Can Benefit from Colon Hydrotherapy?
Patients with one or more of the following symptoms may benefit from colon hydrotherapy:
Is Colon Hydrotherapy Safe?
Being an essentially natural and gentle process, there is virtually no danger with a colonic treatment. The treatment is always accompanied by a trained specialist. There may be initial discomfort due to the pressure and occasional cramping of the intestinal muscles, but this all is kept to a minimum and will reside once you get used to the process. Many patients report about a very pleasant experience after an initial adjustment phase.
Do Colonics Wash Out Valuable Intestinal Flora and Nutrients?
The important bowel bacteria are present on the bowel wall and are not removed during Colonic Irrigation treatment, thus leaving a large nucleus to grow naturally. Good microbiota can only breed in a balanced environment. Also, valuable nutrients may be better absorbed in a clean environment than in a putrefied one.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?
Only in the case of an impacted colon you may experience a slight discomfort. Some cramping may occur as the colon contracts to expel waste. Once the major impaction is removed, you will find the session pleasant and relaxing. Drink Lots of water before a session to avoid this!
