Colon hydrotherapy is a process by which purified water washes out the large intestine. The patient lies on a comfortable bed while water floods slowly into the colon. When slight pressure builds up in the colon, the water is then released. As the water is flowing out, the abdominal area is gently massaged. This process is repeated several times during the treatment. In one session approximately two to six liters of filtered water flow into and out of the large intestines. To insure maximum sanitation/sterilization, a disposable water and waste line and speculum are used.

The colon is a veritable sewage system but by neglect and abuse it becomes somewhat of a cesspool. When it is clean and normal, we are healthy and happy. When it stagnates, it distills the poisons of decay, fermentation, and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the whole body.

This causes us to age prematurely; we look and feel old; our joints are stiff and painful; our digestion is slow; our skin loses its luster and glow; our energy is depleted.

However, we can reverse these signs and symptoms, these conditions that facilitate illness in the body, with Colon Hydrotherapy treatment(s).  How many you need is decided by you and the therapist.

1. Cleanse the Colon: Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Even debris built up over a long period is gently, but surely removed in the process of a series of treatments. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin again to co-operate as it was intended to. In this very real sense a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment.
2. It Exercises the Colon Muscles: The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic (muscular contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.
3. It Reshapes the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape which in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water, coupled with the massage techniques of the colon therapist helps to eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
4. It Stimulates Reflex Points: Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. Colonic stimulates these points, thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way.

Are there any additional benefits I might expect from a colonic?
Yes, there are several. Working with a skilled licensed therapist, a colonic can be a truly enlightening educational process. You will learn to expand your awareness of your body’s functioning by including signals from your abdomen, your skin, your face and even from that most taboo of natural products, your eliminations.

You will find that you can spot the beginnings of developing conditions through clues from these body regions and functions before they become serious.

You can deal with them sooner and more easily than you otherwise might if you waited until they produce effects seen elsewhere in the body.

Also, did you know?   The Solar plexus (stomach muscles) is the emotional center of the body and the transverse colon passes right through it. If an emotional event is left uncompleted, it often results in physical tension being stored in the solar plexus, which affects all organs of the area, including the colon. This on-going tightening of the colon muscle results in diminished movement of fecal material through the colon, which is experienced as constipation.

Not only do colonics alleviate the constipation, they can assist you in creating a fully holistic view of your body’s functions, leading to a better quality of life.

Can Colon Hydrotherapy improve the bacteria balance in my body?
One way and first is to remove the toxins so the beneficial bacteria has a cleaner house to live in. The second, way is to reintroduce the Bifidobacteria that normally populates the colon. Most Colon Hydrotherapy Equipment has a means to reintroduce the Bifidous probiotics.

We also have a male colonic therapist. When calling to make your appointment please tell us which you prefer.
