What is Colonic Hydrotherapy?

Purified water is allowed to flow in and out of the colon, gradually working its way around the colon. Special massage techniques are used to soften the matter and encourage muscle tone of the colon (bowel). Your trained therapist uses specially designed equipment to perform this procedure.

The machine is an enclosed system where waste matter flows directly into the drainage system. Low water pressures are used to fill the colon so no damage can be done to the bowel or its lining.

How long will it take? - Your first consultation will take longer than future treatments as your therapist will take time to take a full medical history from you and to discuss the procedure and the equipment involved. The procedure itself should take approximately 45-50 minutes. Following the treatment your therapist may make recommendations about dietary and lifestyle changes that may be of benefit to you.

How many should I have? - This depends entirely on the individual. Your therapist will advise you after your first consultation. Once the colon is in optimal condition you may benefit from having a detoxifying colonic hydrotherapy treatment every 3 months.

Is it safe?
- only purified water is used
- low water pressures are used and the machine has a built in safety mechanism which will shut it down before the pressure becomes too high
- only diposable equipment is used
- colonic hydrotherapy does not harm the colon and improves bowel tone


What are the benefits? - The colon, along with the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin, eliminates waste from the body. If the colon is not functioning correctly it can lead to congestion in these other organs. The benefits of this detoxification can result in higher energy levels, clearer skin, an increased level of alertness plus many more.
