What Happens During a Colon Hydrotherapy Session?

Colon Hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of water into the colon

via the rectum. No chemicals or drugs are involved and the entire

therapy is both relaxing and effective. During therapy the client lies

on a custom treatment table in complete comfort. From the hydrotherapy

equipment, a small disposable speculum is gently inserted into the

rectum... through which warm filtered water passes into the colon.

 

Modern state-of-the-art colon hydrotherapy units employ multi-stage

water purification systems, individual disposables which eliminate any

possible contamination to the client from a previous treatment, a

lighted viewing chamber and a system for additive administration.

 

These are closed systems... so waste is discretely transported into the

drain line without offensive odor and without comprising the dignity of

the individual. After each therapy session, the unit is thoroughly

cleansed and disinfected in preparation for future use.

 

A skilled colon hydrotherapist will use several fills and releases of

water, as well as light massage techniques, to dislodge toxic waste

matter adhering to the walls of the colon. The dislodged fecal

impactions are then gently washed away though the system's waste

disposal hose.

 

During the therapy, water temperature and pressure will be monitored by

the therapist and can be varied to stimulate peristalsis (muscular

contraction) in the colon. This is very important to help the atonic

(sluggish) colon.

 

Properly administered... Colon Hydrotherapy is not addictive. It

encourages the restoration of the colon's natural function by

strengthening peristalsis.

 

Each colon hydrotherapy session lasts approximately 45 minutes and one

should allow at least one hour per office visit. Initially, a series of

at least three separate therapy 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.

 

With colon hydrotherapy... the entire large intestine is cleansed and

the therapeutic benefits are much greater than those achieved with an

enema. Enema cleansings are limited to the rectum area and due to the

body's natural wish to expel, are limited in duration. Over-the-counter

suppositories stimulate expulsion of the contents of the rectum, but

contribute to dehydration which may exacerbate a constipated condition.

 

During a typical colon hydrotherapy session, about 25 to 35 gallons of

water will be transported into and out of the colon. Using a combination

of abdominal massage (if consented), reflexology, breathing instruction

and relaxation techniques... the colon therapist is often able to

promote elimination of a volume of toxic waste, which would not

otherwise be possible through individual efforts.

 

Just one colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having 20 or 30

regular bowel movements. Eliminations during subsequent therapy sessions

can be even more substantial as older, hardened, impacted feces are

dislodged from the colon walls.

 

The colon hydrotherapist will carefully evaluate the client's progress

during their session to determine if additional sessions would be

beneficial. After a therapy session, many people report a feeling of

heightened energy, an increased sense of well-being and renewed vitality.

 

Almost certainly your colon will be cleaner... you may experience easier

eliminations and your overall health status should be improved.

 

Colon hydrotherapy provides a proven way to cleanse your colon, and

thereby to increase your chances of maintaining optimal health. But

maintaining good health is an ongoing process which requires diligence...

 

After the initial series of colon hydrotherapy sessions, you may be well

advised to seek a colon hydrotherapy every three to six months. In this

way, you can maintain the benefits achieved during your first colon

hydrotherapy sessions, as well as maintain a strong functioning colon.

Your colon therapist should be able to suggest a reasonable schedule

depending on your personal health status and desire for further therapy.

 

With some patience and discipline -- including the help of an

experienced Certified Colon Hydrotherapist -- you have an opportunity to

overcome serious health problems and start living a strong, healthy,

disease free life.

 

 

Note: It is recommended not to eat during the 4 hours before a colonic.

 

Contraindications: The contraindications of colon hydrotherapy include

diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease (in the acute

inflammatory stages), severe hemorrhoids, or a tumor in the rectum or

large intestine.
