About The Treatment
A small rectal tube is inserted into the rectum, and once you are relaxed you won't know it's there. Warm water is gently infused and then released throughout the colonic and it does not cause any pain.
Colon hydrotherapy was first recorded in 1500 BC, in the ancient Egyptian documents, Ebers and Papyrus. The concept involves infusing warm filtered water into the rectum in order to dilute bacterial toxins and eliminate faecal material from the colon walls. The cleansing effects from the colon hydrotherapy reduce stagnation and maintain harmony of the intestinal flora. It is not a cure all but an important complementary therapy in overall health care.
Advantages
Colon Hydrotherapy offers many detoxifying benefits such as healthy skin and hair, improved sleep and a feeling of well-being. It also helps improve digestion and tones the bowel so that it can work more effectively.
You should expect to be at the clinic for around one hour for your first visit. The first 15 minutes will allow the therapist to go over your medical history. The colonic will then take around 30 to 45 minutes.
After the treatment you can continue as normal. You do not have to follow a special diet although we may make some suggestions to you during your treatment or after your treatment.
It may be suggested that you take probiotic supplements to help restore your natural intestinal flora.
