What makes colon hydro therapy so important?
While the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver also serve to eliminate toxins; people have experienced that when the colon is cleansed, the well-being of the whole body is greatly enhanced. Colonic irrigation has been found to be the quickest, easiest and most effective process available to accomplish this task.
Why should I have a Colonic?
The colon is the last portion of the human digestive tract. Waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for sometime, poses problems of toxicity and impairs the colon’s ability to absorb minerals and vitamins. During colon cleansing, toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Debris built up over a long period of time is gently removed in a series of colonics. When impacted material is removed, your colon begins to function as it was meant to. The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon muscles and impairs their functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves the tonicity and peristalsis (muscular contractions) of the colon muscle, enabling it to move and eliminate fecal matter in a more timely fashion.
What are the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colonics offer relief from a variety of disturbances by cleansing the colon of impacted and putrid fecal matter. Fatigue, gas, headaches, irritability, skin problems, cold hands & feet and lethargy are among the problems people have found relieved by colon cleansing. Constipation of course is another as well as chronic diarrhea. Your sense of well-being is often dramatically improved with colonics; you feel lighter and are more energetic. The body can again assimilate food in the colon and better defend itself against disease. Natural peristalsis, tone and regularity are restored and many serious diseases may be averted through this gentle technique. Colonics are a key factor in the restoration of the body’s natural balance or what we call good health. Regular colonics will aide poor digestion. People use colon hydro therapy as a preventative measure to help avoid colon cancer. People who suffer from symptoms such as food cravings, bloating, parasites, difficulty losing weight, chronic over-eating or abdominal pain/cramps use colonics as a way to cleanse their body & relieve their symptoms. Colonics improve your immune system by flushing out toxins and is an excellent way to begin and end a cleanse or fast.
What will colon hydrotherapy do for the colon?
Colon hydrotherapy reshapes the colon muscle. When problems exist in the colon, they tend to alter the shape of the colon, which in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water accompanied by a gentle abdominal massage helps to eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic, constrictions thus enabling the colon to return to its natural state. A series of colonics will soften and loosen the accumulated toxic fecal matter that has been stored in the colon over the years. A series of colonics is excellent for cleansing and healing the colon so that changes in diet, exercise and attitude are then able to produce their effects. Many people find the relief provided by colonics stimulates the motivation and enthusiasm to institute positive lifestyle changes. Colon hydro therapy cannot solve all health problems, but is a very important adjunctive therapy in the overall quest for vibrant health.
How long does a treatment take?
The colonic procedure usually takes about 45 minutes but your first appointment will last about 1 1/2 hours. This allows time to further explain the procedure, make certain you understand each step and give you time to rest and evaluate the process.
Can I work directly after having a treatment?
Yes. You can work just as you would after a regular bowel movement.

How many colonics will I need?
The number of treatments will always vary with the individual and his or her condition. Often the waste is so hard and well lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and loosen this accumulated fecal material. Some people may not have startling results for the first few treatments. This is why a series of treatments is necessary and advisable. Colon hydro therapy is most effective when employed in combination with exercise and proper diet of non-mucous producing foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables and certain herbs are suggested to help loosen and dissolve accumulated fecal matter. The suggested series would be 2-3 colonic per week for 8 weeks. Once the colon is clean it is advisable to have a colonic every 4-6 weeks to maintain the environment.
What should I do to prepare for a treatment?
We ask that you do not eat or drink anything two hours before your treatment.
Do treatments hurt?
No, but you may experience some cramping during your sessions as a result of your colon performing its natural peristalsis wave action. The cramping feeling will diminish after you release the fecal matter. Many people report their colon hydrotherapy sessions as being both refreshing and relaxing.
Does having a menstrual period have any effect on my treatment?
No, in fact it’s usually a good time to receive a treatment, since your body is already cleansing. Your flow has no effect on the success of the treatment.
What if I am unable to release during my first colonic?
Many people expect the colonic to instantly release all waste from their large intestine/colon the first time. When it doesn’t happen, some clients say, “Why should I come back if nothing came out? I’m empty, it’s not really that effective.” When no fecal matter is released, it is a more difficult case. The ability or inability to release is one of the ways to assess a colonic session.
The first job is to get the gut muscles to respond by creating what we call a “flow through” - the ability of the person to eliminate or have material flow through their alimentary tract from mouth to anus without restriction. Dehydration could be a reason for a difficult first cleanse. If a client states they drink one quart or less of fluid daily, we know that the colon is probably dehydrated. The lack of fluid allows hardening of waste in the gut. Dehydration may also affect the quality of intestinal muscle tissue and its ability to expand and contract properly.
Another cause is a low fiber diet. Low fiber combined with insufficient fluids can create a very sticky and thick elimination that gets stuck in the intestines not to mention the speculum. If this may be suspected, you can prepare before the first session by; drinking a gallon of fluids daily, making fruits and vegetables 50% of your diet. This is suggested and it is not mandatory, however, it is helpful for a more successful colonic.

Will colonics damage the normal intestinal flora?
No. One of the functions of the first half of the colon is to gather the intestinal flora needed for the colon. When the accumulation of the feces in the bowel leads to fecal encrustation, it is difficult for the colon to function normally and the glands in the lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora. The resulting lack of lubrication intensifies a state of constipation and generates toxemia. This upsets the normal acid-alkaline balance and the growth of the friendly bacteria is stunted. Cleansing the colon will help bring the acid-alkaline ratio back into balance. In this environment, the friendly bacteria will again thrive and disease causing bacteria will find it difficult to develop.
Are there any side effects to colonics?
There are no side effects to a colonic. It is not uncommon however, for some people to start to feel like they have a cold or headache after a colonic. Toxins which have been lying dormant in the colon are now being flushed out 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 with future treatments.
