How can Colon Irrigation Or Colon Hydrotherapy help?

Colonic irrigation or colon hydrotherapy is a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances from the colon. A practice dating from around 1500 B.C. colonics can also help re-tone and reshape the colon. However, colonics have a much broader effect than simply cleansing the colon.
Additional benefits can often be observed throughout the body in the form of clearer skin, more energy , mental clarity, fewer headaches, improvement in circulatory, immune and weight problems and many other positive side effects. Many people are referred to colonic practitioners by other medicine practitioners. Top

What is involved?

Your visit to a colonic therapist will involve the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure. The colonic itself will take 30-40 minutes during which time water will be gently introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate the release of stored matter. You are advised not to eat two hours before your treatment. Bring a pair of socks to keep your feet warm during the treatment. Your modesty is preserved at all times. Herbal and probiotics implants may be used.  Your practitioner may advise beneficial dietary changes to further enhance your treatment. Top

Is it safe?

Yes, absolutely. We use state-of-the-art German-made equipment. EVERYTHING IS DISPOSABLE. It is much gentler than gravity system and more comfortable for the patient. We use colour therapy with our colonics as well.  Colon hydrotherapy, unlike the use of laxatives, is not habit forming and actually improves the tone of the colon. Top

The Colon

The colon (Large intestine or bowel) is situated in the abdomen and forms the last part of the digestive tract. Top

An extremely important organ in its own right, it carried out a number of vital functions including the completion of the digestive process involving absorption of water-soluble nutrients as well as the synthesis of certain vitamins.

However, the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem can very easily be disturbed by a number of factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs, smoking and exposure to toxic substances. Top

The Facts:

• The healthy transit time of food through our bodies is less than 24 hours.
• On average in the UK it is now 60 hours for men and 70 hours for women.
• The United Kingdom is the most constipated nation in the world.
• The UK has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world with 20,000 new case each year.
• One in three people consulting GP have a bowel problem such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, Diverticulitis and yeast infections (Candida).

The repercussions of a toxic bowel may be seen throughout the body system in a wide range of health problems & in general malaise affecting so many in our society. Top

One can anticipate feeling more peaceful, lighter, cleaner and more energized after a colonic.

On rare occasion, if there has been a longstanding condition of constipation or several health problems, a slight headache or fatigue may be experienced with the first or second colonic. If this is so, a short rest will help restore one’s equilibrium.

Since the colon has been cleared of solid matter, it may take one or two days before it fills up again and normal bowel movements are resumed.

Some water is absorbed through the colon wall during a colonic & one may notice an increased need to urinate for a few hours afterwards. This beneficial effect of flushing the kidneys may also be enhanced by drinking a few glasses of water with the juice of half a lemon added to each glass.

A colonic has a profound cleansing effect on the body, and many people feel so good afterwards that they want to double their jogging or workout time. Caution is advised here, for it can be overdone. Although light to moderate exercise is good if you are used to it, any strenuous activity should be avoided that day.

A light diet of fruits, vegetables, salads, soups and chicken or fish should be followed for two days, taking care to avoid anything that causes gas. Rich or heavy food, flour products, spices and alcohol should also be omitted.

Although irrigating the colon does not remove all of the intestinal bacteria, it is still helpful to take probiotics to maintain bacterial balance. We have our own brand of Probiotics which we advise to take because it is an active cleanser that also adds vital forces to the colon.

How often should one have a colonic? It depends on the diet, stress level, health, age, and how successful the colonic treatment was. It is often advised having colonics until mucus is no longer visible in the release water. To achieve that a series of three to sometimes eight colonics – one every seven to ten days – may be recommended before going on a maintenance program. Maintenance colonic can be done once or twice a year, at the change of the season, or monthly. Most people seem to know when they need another colonic. Top
