What is colon hydrotherapy?

Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as colonics, colon irrigation or high enemas, is the safe, gentle method of removing waste from the large intestine, without the use of chemicals or drugs, through the introduction of water into the colon. The waste is softened and loosened resulting in evacuation through peristalsis. This process is repeated several times during the session. Colon Hydrotherapy is not addictive. It encourages the restoration of the colons natural function by strengthening peristalsis. Initially, a series of at least 3 separate sessions is usually recommended, to achieve the maximum cleansing benefit. This helps to eliminate fecal matter which may have been lodged in the Colon for weeks, months, or even years, and to keep the client properly hydrated.

What does a session involve?

One should allow at least one hour per office visit, with a typical session lasting approximately 40-45 minutes (I set aside one hour and fifteen minutes for us). After an initial greeting and some quick paperwork, clients can relax onto the massage table in the office. I then walk the client through the process before beginning so we can make sure clients are as comfortable as possible. Clients are discretely covered while I operate the equipment to control the warm filtered water that hydrates the colon. Clients should never experience pain during this process, but it is usual or normal to feel uncomfortable or some awkwardness during our first visit. Through the natural body process of peristalsis the waste material is evacuated through clear tubing attached to the speculum. After this process, clients are encouraged to use the bathroom. Upon coming back from the bathroom, I provide a probiotic and electrolytes in water for the client to drink.

How might you feel after a session?

Colon Hydrotherapy does not cure or solve issues, but instead aids in keeping a healthy functioning colon system. By improving the colons processing and efficiency you may improve overall functionality of the body, energy, and notice some weight loss. By removing impacted waste, balance is restored to the body and many people report a feeling of heightened energy, leave feeling lighter, and have an increased sense of well-being and renewed vitality. Clients that possibly are quite toxic may find that during or after a colonic they go through the healing crisis. This is when toxic residue is released after being stored in the body for some time. Clients suffering from constipation, slow transit time, bloating, poor diet and poor hydration may experience this.
