Improves Digestion

Many of us suffer from a range of digestive complaints these days, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Constipation and Diarrhea. Food that isn’t properly digested hides in the folds of your bowel wall, allowing bad bacteria to flourish and contribute to the feelings of bloating, gassiness, cramping, and urgent or delayed bowel movements that are associated with digestive complaints. Colon cleansing clears the way for improved nutrient absorption, eliminating bad bacteria and toxins, and restores balance to your gut.

Prevents Constipation & Improves Muscle Tone

A Colon irrigation is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. There is no discomfort, just a steady flow of water in and out of the colon. At the same time, an abdominal massage is given to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic wave action.

Increases Overall Energy Levels

A colon that inefficiently eliminates waste encourages toxins to be reabsorbed back into your bloodstream, leading to those tired and sluggish feelings we’ve all experienced.By cleansing your colon and improving its functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently. By letting go of accumulated waste and disease-causing toxins, our clients report that Colon Hydrotherapy leaves you feeling rejuvenated and full of energy, giving you better blood & lymph circulation and a more restful sleep.

Improves Immune System Function

Detoxing your colon is a must for boosting your immune system. As we house the majority of our immune system within our colon, it is essential that we keep our colon clean so that we have a perfect breeding ground for healthy gut flora to proliferate. Regular cleansing means the immune system has less work to do, leaving it in a stronger state to fight the important battles.

Restores Hydration and pH Levels

Your colon hydrotherapy treatment gently instills warm filtered water into your colon, softening accumulated waste which then allows water to be absorbed more efficiently through the walls of your bowel. Most people have an overly acidic body due to overconsumption of meat, dairy and grains.An alkalised body will keep you free of disease and help to keep you looking young and feeling vibrant.

Improves Complexion & Skin Appearance

Our colon is our primary channel of waste elimination. When this isn’t working efficiently, the waste has to be eliminated via other means, which is when we start to see acne, pimples, eczema and other skin complaints. By cleansing your colon you take the burden off our other elimination organs (skin, liver, kidneys, pancreas) and allow them to work more efficiently, reducing embarrassing breakouts and unsightly rashes.

Assists With Weight Loss

Many of us have 11 lbs or more of impacted waste in our colon at any given time. Additionally, a diet low in fibre takes much longer to move along our digestive system than high-fibre foods. As a response, our body naturally produces excess mucous to assist in elimination, which physically weighs down your colon and contributes to bloated bellies. Colon hydrotherapy clears this waste, mucous, gas and undigested food from your colon, resulting in a flatter tummy.

Improves Concentration

A blocked digestive system and poor diet can lead to you becoming distracted and lose concentration easily. Colon hydrotherapy not only removes blockages affecting your concentration, but allows better absorption of nutrients and minerals needed to keep your brain functioning effectively.

What is a colonic?

How is A Colonic Administered?

A person receiving a colonic lies on a table, a sterilized disposable speculum is gently inserted in the rectum. Water flows into the colon via a small water tube and out through the evacuation tube carrying with it impacted feces and mucous. As the water flows out of the colon, the practitioner gently massages the abdomen to help the colon release its contents. It is possible to see this expelled waste matter when it passes through a special viewing window in the evacuation tube. The person is well covered and their modesty is given top priority during the procedure. This colonic process takes 30-45 minutes.

How Many Colonics Are Needed?

The number of treatments will always vary with the individual and his/her condition. Often the waste is so hard and well lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and loosen this accumulated fecal material. Some people may not have startling results for the first few treatments. This is why a series of treatments is necessary and advisable.

Colonic irrigation is most effective when employed in combination with exercise and a proper liv-it of non-mucous producing foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables and certain herbs are suggested to help loosen and dissolve accumulated fecal matter. The suggested series would be two colonics per week for eight (8) weeks. Once the colon is clean, it is advisable to have a colonic every one to two months to maintain the environment.

A Good time to do a series of colonics is at the change of season when those nasty parasites awaken. This is also a great time to fast for a few days as also our liv-it and exercise patterns often change. You should have a colonic before, during and after a “fast” to hasten the removal of toxic waste and it would also be beneficial during the cold and flu season.
