Does my colon really need to be cleansed?
The colon has been referred to as the sanitary system of the body. It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about, and most of us don't until our health becomes poor or we feel constipated or have diarrhea. Our modern lifestyle is the reason for the increase in people suffering from congested bowels & colon/rectal cancer, now one of the most common cancers in North America. Our diet is far different from that of our ancestors; refined white flour, white sugar, processed meat, dairy products, alcohol, preservatives, junk foods and all the pesticides and herbicides as well as medications and antibiotics our food is exposed to have weakened our digestive and eliminative system.
Colon Hydrotherapy is a valuable procedure used to assist the body with the reversal of a multitude of health conditions, resulting from improper diet and years of poor elimination. The latest estimates show that over 90% of diseases in North America are directly or indirectly related to an unhealthy colon. Health problems like headaches, backaches, skin blemishes, bad breath, allergies, fatigue, arthritis and heart disease are all linked to a congested colon. When colon health is compromised, waste backs up, becomes toxic and releases the toxins through the bowel walls into the bloodstream. Cleansing the colon lightens the toxic load on every part of your body.
Is this a safe procedure?
Yes. The equipment that touches your body is all sterile and disposable. The manufacture and use of the Aquanet EC 2000 is regulated by safety guidelines mandated by Health Canada, the FDA, the European Health Authority, as well as those of many other countries. The machine has an adapter & shut-off mechanism (Applied Pressure Sensing Technology or APST) that never allows it to exert a harmful pressure on your colon.
Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle internal bath that helps deep cleanse the colon of toxins, thereby encouraging the entire body to detoxify and return to a more normal healthy state of well-being
How many sessions do I need?
The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions necessary will depend on the individual. We offer packages of 3, 4, 6, or 10 to simplify this. Every person's goals will differ. Just as some people exercise on a daily basis or weekly basis to tone and tighten their outer body, some people follow an ongoing cleansing, toning and rebuilding regimen for the inner body. Once you’ve completed a full cycle, we recommend that you return every 3-4 months for a cleansing cycle.
Dentists recommend periodic professional cleaning even if you brush your teeth twice a day and floss - doesn’t it make sense that if food and bacteria build up on your teeth and gums, they’ll create buildup all the way through your digestive system?
How long is a hydrotherapy session?
The first session includes a consultation and review of your health conditions, and is typically 90 minutes - this includes time to complete your chart, walk you through and complete the session (approx 30 minutes) and answer any questions you may have. Subsequent treatment times are 35-40 minutes, and you’ll be in and out of the clinic in under an hour.
What happens during a hydrotherapy session (is it painful at all)?
When you come in for the treatment you will fill out a pre-treatment form and the therapist will spend a few minutes asking you some questions about your health & digestion. During the procedure you will be provided with a pair of disposable shorts to wear, keeping your upper clothing on. The therapist gently inserts a small, sterile speculum into your anus, which allows you to be connected to the colon hydrotherapy unit, carrying out impacted fecal matter, gas, mucus and parasites directly through a viewing tube and into the sanitary sewer system. The therapist controls the unit to allow the water to flow gently in and out of your colon. During the session the therapist will massage the abdomen, and use acupressure points to stimulate the elimination process. There is no odor or health risk involved in the colonic procedure when performed properly by a trained practitioner. It is normal to feel some new or odd sensations.
Is the equipment sterilized?
Yes - the Aquanet EC2000 is sterilized after each use, and the shorts, speculum kit and pads are all new and disposable - you are the only client who will come into contact with them.
Is there anything I have to do to prepare for the session?
Drink lots of fluids prior to your session, stopping at least half hour before your appointment. In addition, please try to avoid chewing gum, having carbonated drinks and eating gassy foods 24 hours before your session.
What should I expect after the session?
The treatment should not impact your daily schedule at all - you'll leave the clinic, resume your day, sleep well and feel revitalized!
Will I need to go to the bathroom many times after my colonic?
It’s normal to experience a few bowel movements immediately after your treatment, but you won’t have to be running to the toilet all day. Your therapist will allow plenty of time for you to use the toilet after your session before you leave the clinic.
What are the benefits of the Healing Elements?
Natural Healing Elements soothe the colon and assist in elimination. They help soften and loosen hard or lodged debris and allow for the ease of elimination, creating a more pleasant experience. The nutrients aid in the release of toxins.
How do the Healing Elements improve my health?
It supports your health by eliminating toxic build-up and providing your body/bowel with nourishment. They also help support energy levels after your treatment. Friendly bacteria love a clean environment. Even though some are flushed out with the treatment, they will multiply quickly when they have space to do so. Most colons are filled with morbid toxic matter of different kinds that crowd out the friendly bacteria in the colon. The best win/win situation you get, when you supplement probiotics after a colonic treatment when there is room for them to multiply!
Do I have to have Natural Healing Elements during my session?
No you do not have to have healing elements, but the nutritional benefit to your bowel and health are why they are recommended. Healing elements are not necessary for a successful, comfortable colonic; they are an added benefits.
Is there an additional charge for any of the Natural Healing Elements used?
There is no additional charge for the healing elements used in your session. These implants include Chlorophyll, Aloe, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Coffee and Bentonite.
When can I ask questions?
You can and should ask questions at any point during the session - we're here to help you learn about your body.
