What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy (often referred to as a colonic) is the safe, gentle infusion of warm filtered water into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. The individual lies comfortably on a custom treatment table and the therapist gently inserts a small, sterilized speculum into the rectum. The therapist then monitors the temperature and flow of the water infused into and out of the colon (large intestine) without any assistance on the part of the individual. Colon therapy helps to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic wave action. The gravitational method, which is a closed system, cleanses the entire colon without stressing the individual.
Why Colon Hydrotherapy?
We experience better health and well being when the colon is clean and functioning normally. When the colon is congested with waste, poisons back up into our system and pollute our inner environment. This is called autointoxication, which literally means “self-poisoning.” Autointoxication is considered to be the underlying cause of many degenerative diseases. Some of the symptoms include:
Constipation or Diarrhea, Frequent headaches, Candida/Yeast problems, Skin problems, Lower back pain, Irritability, Food and other allergies, Overweight/Underweight, Cellulite, Depression/Anxiety, Menstrual problems/PMS, Asthma/Sinus problems, Insomnia/Fatigue, Gas, bloating and indigestion.
How many treatments are necessary?
The number of treatments will always vary with the individual. An initial series of 5-10 treatments is recommended.
More treatments may be required in case of chronic autointoxication. Others may find that limited colon irrigations in combination with exercise and proper diet, increase their health in a relatively short amount of time.
Colon Hydrotherapy is solely intended for cleansing the body and for the prevention of disease. It’s not a substitute for professional medical care.
