Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I clean my colon?

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 attributable to an unhealthy colon. Health problems like headaches, skin blemishes, bad breath, 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.

How many colon hydrotherapy sessions do I need?

The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions desired will depend on the individual. Generally 3 - 12 sessions are recommended depending on the client's needs. 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.

What is a colon hydrotherapy session like?

A session is a comfortable experience for many people, the client retains their upper clothing and is given a colonic under garment to wear. They are then asked to lie on a massage table and are draped with a sheet. The client's dignity is always maintained throughout the session.
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. During the treatment 15 to 30 gallons of water flow through the colon using a disposable speculum (water tube and evacuation tube) that you assisted the therapist insert into the rectum. The practitioner will use several fills and releases during the process as well as massage to the abdomen, and several acupressure points to stimulate the elimination process. A viewing tube displays all of the waste as it leaves the body. A colonic session takes 45 minutes to an hour. A series of treatments is normally required to dislodge the toxic buildup. The colonic instrument provides purified water that flows into the colon via the small water tube and leaves the colon through the larger evacuation tube carrying out excess impacted fecal matter, gas, mucus and parasites directly to the sanitary sewer system. There is no odor or health risk involved in the colonic procedure when performed properly by a trained practitioner.
