Colon Therapy/Colon Irrigation

Colon irrigation is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of old dried fecal material. The water goes in very slowly, which allows the dried fecal material to soften; there is no discomfort, no internal pressure. At the same time, an abdominal massage is given to stimulate the colon to recover its natural tone and peristaltic wave action. Unlike an enema, it does not involve retention of the water, and the colonic water goes all the way around colon.

A person receiving a colonic wears a gown and lies on a table completely covered with a sheet and their modesty is given top priority during the procedure. A sterilized speculum is gently inserted in the rectum. The water flow, which is always under the control of the therapist, flows very slowly into the colon via a small water tube. When you feel pressure of the bowel wanting to move, the water will be released through the evacuation tube carrying with it impacted fecal matter, gas 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 on the machine.

The number of treatments will always vary with the individual and his/her condition.  Often the waste is so hard and impacted on the walls of the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and dislodge this accumulated fecal matter. Colon irrigation is most effective in combination with exercise and a healthier diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and a lot of good water. Once the colon is clean, it is advisable to have a colonic every month to maintain good colon health. Or at the changing of the seasons when diet and exercise patterns change. You should have a colonic before, during and after a “fast” or "cleanse" to hasten the removal of toxic waste and it would also be beneficial during the cold and flu season.

Constipation, chronic diarrhea and  excessive gas are just a few of the symptoms that will diminish. Your sense of well-being is often dramatically improved with colonics. You feel lighter and more energetic. Some people even lose weight during this process. Natural peristalsis, tone and regularity are restored and many serious diseases may be averted through this gentle, sterile scientific technique. Colonics are a key factor in the restoration of the body’s natural balance or what we call good health.

There are none. It is not uncommon, however, for some people that are toxic might feel like they have a cold or headaches after a colonic. Toxins, which have been lying dormant in the colon are now being flushed out in and a small amount may be re-absorbed into the body’s system. This healing crisis passes quickly and the person will realize a feeling of well-being.
