Why do I need treatments?

As your body gets overloaded with toxins you become more prone to illness. Colon Hydrotherapy aids the body in removal of these toxins promoting greater vitality, healthier skin and hair, a more efficient immune system and natural weight loss.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of colonic irrigation can often be seen after your first treatment. You can expect improved bowel function, clearer skin, more mental clarity and fewer headaches.

Circulatory, immune, inflammatory and weight problems can also often improve with colonic treatments particularly in conjunction with recommended diet and lifestyle changes. After treatment the bowel is able to absorb nutrients more effectively and less likely to absorb damaging enterotoxins.

Conditions that may benefit from colonic therapy include:

Allergies
Arthritis
Asthma
Atonic (sluggish) colon
Bloating
Candida
Colitis in remission
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Diverticulosis (i.e Diverticulitis in remission)
Flatulence
Haemorrhoids
Headache, toxic
Halitosis
IBS
Indigestion
Leaky gut
Lethargy
Mucous colitis
Parasitic infections
Skin problems: eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, etc.
Urinary urgency in females.

What happens at a treatment?

Before treatment begins your practitioner will explain the procedure and discuss any relevant medical history. You will then be asked to remove the bottom half of your clothing and wear a towel provided by the practitioner, after which you will be invited to lay on the treatment table where warm purified water will be introduced into the colon via a small (1.5 inch in length) disposal tube in the rectum (your modesty is preserved at all times). The practitioner will apply massage techniques during the treatment to help stimulate the release of stored faecal matter and toxins that have built up over time and adhered to the colon wall and which were not eliminated during normal bowel movements.

The treatment can take from 45 minutes to 1 hour. For your safety, only sterile disposable pre-packed products are used and waste is washed away in sterile tubing. Relaxing music is played throughout the treatment though you are very welcome to bring along your own CD if you wish.

How many treatments will I need?

The benefits of colonic irrigation can often be seen after your first treatment but it can take up to 3 visits before you really start to notice a difference. Waste matter and toxins are built up over a number of years so we recommend a short course of treatments and, once colonic health is fully restored, to maintain health with regular treatments.

How will I feel after a treatment?

In short, great! Although every client is different you can expect to feel more relaxed and experience a real sense of well being. Almost immediately you will experience better digestion, regular bowel movements, less heartburn, improved sleep and clearer skin, whilst restored energy levels are commonly reported. Some people say they have not felt as good for years.

Can colonics damage normal intestinal flora?

The normal intestinal flora, consisting of friendly bacteria, will not be disturbed. Colon cleansing helps to restore the normal pH-value in the bowel. In this more acceptable environment, the beneficial bacteria will once again thrive, and disease causing bacteria will find it more difficult to develop and therefore be kept under control.

Are there circumstances where colonic therapy should not be performed?

Yes. Conditions such as active infections, active inflammation (such as diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), a painful fissure or painful haemorrhoids mean treatment cannot be comfortably carried out until they are healed or in remission.

Diseases such as congestive heart disease, severe uncontrolled hypertension, severe anaemia, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, severe haemorrhaging and colo-rectal carcinoma are also absolute contra-indications for treatment as are some physical conditions such as severe abdominal or inguinal hernias which cannot be easily reduced.
