What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a natural method of cleansing the colon using a flow of soothing, temperature-controlled, sterilized, purified water which is infused gently into the colon by a sterilized rectal nozzle.
Who needs Colon Hydrotherapy?
Virtually everyone has built-up waste in their colon. Most people in developed countries eat a lot of processed foods (sugar, bleached flour, etc...). As these unnatural foods move through the colon, fluids are absorbed during the digestive process, and a very sticky waste is created. This waste clings to the colon walls and putrefies(rots), giving off toxins. These toxins can lead to auto-intoxication (self-poisoning of the body).
How can Colon Hydrotherapy help?
Colon Hydrotherapy allows the body to rid itself of impacted fecal matter by gently infusing water into the colon. Because the water hydrates the colon, it will help soften the fecal matter, thus allowing the body to flush it out of the system more readily.
How can Colon Hydrotherapy help with constipation issues?
Constipation can be contributed to many factors or combinations of factors.
In our clients, the number one reason we've found is lack of fluid intake, essential to hydration of the colon as well as healthy functioning of all body systems and processes. Another main culprit has been lack of fiber; found in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, seaweed, etc. Sometimes, we find those who are lacking in both proper water and fiber intake. It is also very important to remember that fiber bulks up in the colon so even though you are doing well in fiber intake, without sufficient hydration, you can still end up with constipation problems. So it is crucial to maintain proper water intake to keep homeostasis in the body.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy embarrassing?
No. Your dignity is completely maintained. You have the option to be in the room alone, or a therapist may be present. During the session, you are in a private room and completely covered with a drape sheet. There is no odor due to the type of system that we use.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?
An impacted colon may cause some discomfort and cramping. This generally occurs as the colon contracts to expel waste due to impaction. Once the major impaction is removed, many clients report the session very relaxing and pleasant.
After a session, how might I expect to feel?
Most people remark that they feel "light and clean", or "empty" after a session. Some remark that they feel energized , yet others remark that they feel like they had a workout.
How many colon therapy sessions does a person need?
Research from scientists in both America and Europe has demonstrated that people in the richer nations carry within their bodies anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds of accumulated toxic waste. In order to remove this waste gently, it will take more than one sesion. Depending on diet, nutrition, and exercise regime, a person might need from 10 to 20 sessions. Once clients recieve the benefits of colon therapy treatments, they usually continue to recieve subsequent sessions.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy safe? Can it affect the balance of Flora & Electrolytes?
Good flora does not usually predominate in colons that have old waste stuck to their walls. Colon Hydrotherapy, therefore, washes out not only the bad flora, but also the environment in which it grows. Then, good flora has the ability to thrive in a clean environment. In the study "Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes" done in 1989, no patients experienced any significant symptoms or disturbances.
What can I expect from Colon Hydrotherapy?
Benefits from colonics fall into three main categories:
- Cleansing--toxic material is broken down and released so it can no longer harm your body of inhibit assimilation or elimination.
- Exercise--the gentle infusion of water, combined with the emptying of the colon, causes peristaltic activity (the natural movement of the bowels).
- Reshapes--over time, the natural shape may become distorted, which may cause more colon problems. After a series of colonics, the colon will begin to regain its shape.
What other benefits may I expect from Colon Hydrotherapy?
According to Dr. Arthur E. Brawer, "...colon hydrotherapy may be helpful for issues such as sinus drainage, allergies, acne, memory loss, brittle hair, cold hands and feet, constipation, irritable bowel, nausea, pot belly, muscle pain, skin rashes, pigmentation, arthritis, ADD, hypertension, colitis, fibromyalgia, mouth sores, poor posture, joint aches, asthma, body odor, chronic fatigue, spastic colon, headaches, MS, peptic ulcers, seizures, and chest pain."
How do I prepare for a colonic session?
Usually, taking a few days before your appointment to fully hydrating the colon, by drinking as much water as possible and cutting out caffine is very beneficial to the success of the session. With clients who have issues with constipation though, we've found that complimenting the water increase with doing a castor oil pack, every night, for three to four days prior the appointment can make a significant difference in results.
What is a castor oil pack and how is it done?
A Castor oil pack can be used when there is abdominal cramping or tendernesss, constipation, and spastic bowel. It helps to relieve pain, penetrates the skin and helps to emulsify toxins in the colon; relaxes spasms.
