Colonic Hydrotherapy

WHAT IS COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY?
Colon hydrotherapy is a very thorough, cleanse of the large intestine. It involves the introduction of warm filtered water though the rectum via a speculum into the colon. The action of the water together with gentle massage techniques progressively softens faecal matter and compacted waste. As the water exits the body through the evacuation tube it takes with it the accumulated waste.
The colon is responsible for eliminating the by-products of digestion and other wastes produced by the body, as well as protecting us from infection and disease. In a normally functioning colon, this is achieved with the help of billions of friendly bacteria which inhabit the colon. This delicate balance can very easily be disrupted by a number of factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs & exposure to toxic substances, often causing digestive disorders & bacterial imbalance.

FAQs
Why Have Colonics?
People choose to have colonics for different reasons. Most of the time it’s because they feel uncomfortable, sluggish, and bloated. It is often the inspiration and kick start for choosing a healthier diet and lifestyle.
With so much temptation around us in modern society, it can be difficult to avoid access food, drink & always choose the healthy option. Our bodies aren’t designed to be fuelled by processed refined foods with chemically synthesised ingredients. This can upset our digestive systems in a negative way and cause a multitude of health issues and bowel disorders, including poor elimination and bacterial imbalances.
Having a colonic is a gentle way to help your digestive system return to its natural healthy state by hydrating, eliminating the excess waste, improving muscle tone, encouraging better bowel function & improve the environment for healthy levels of good bacteria.
What Is Involved?
Having your first colonic can be a daunting experience. Most people feel nervous. Its my aim to take the embarrassment out of it & make it as relaxing as possible.
Your first visit will involve the taking of your medical history and questions about your diet and lifestyle. The procedure is explained to you along with information about how your digestive system functions. At this point you have plenty of opportunity to ask any questions.
You will then be shown through to the bathroom asked to empty your bladder and put on a disposable gown.
Laying on the couch and covered by a towel I will palpate your stomach to feel your colon. A small disposable speculum is gently inserted into your rectum whilst lying on your left side followed by the introduction of warm filtered water. Once part of the colon has emptied, I will ask you to turn onto your back enabling the water to move further around the colon. I may assist the loosening of impacted waste by gentle massage. The water and waste products then leave the colon via an illuminated viewing tube straight into the foul waste with no unpleasant smells or mess. This process is repeated several times to give you a thorough cleanse.
At the end of the treatment, I will remove the speculum & send you through to the bathroom where you will empty any remaining water left in the colon. After freshening up in the bathroom you will then be given your aftercare plan along with any suggested dietary changes or supplement advice.
How Long Does It Take?
I allow 90 minutes for all my colonic appointments not just your first treatment. Sometimes it can take a while before the colon relaxes & starts to empty, especially if you are nervous & your first colonic. Allowing plenty of time enables me to completely empty the bowel without the need for more treatments.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
One colonic is usually sufficient to completely empty your colon, allowing the muscle to regain good peristalsis, remove excess waste, mucous, & unhealthy bacteria.
Your colon is a busy little internal ecosystem, crucial for good health. The healthy human body is home to some 100 trillion bacteria, 1000 different types live in your large intestine alone. This balance of bacteria is very important. We need to encourage the good bacteria, not keep flushing them away!
In my opinion, too many colonic treatments in quick succession could remove too much beneficial bacteria needed for good health & a strong immune system. Instead, I advise my clients to listen to their bodies & have a colonic when you start to notice negative changes: the bowel becomes more sluggish, incomplete bowel movements, you start to feel more bloating, cramping, IBS symptoms. This will vary from one person to another.
Is It Painful?
Although the treatment is painless some may experience mild discomfort as the colon empties. Your colon is a muscular tube, which contacts & relaxes very slowly to propel the waste, this is called peristalsis. You will not feel this happening usually however during a colonic peristalsis speeds up and so you are more aware of it. It will not be constant; most people get a couple of waves during a treatment.
Equipment Used?
The equipment I use is a modern Dotolol machine. The water is warmed by a preheater then filtered. The water then passes through a carbon filter for even finer filtration followed by a U.V light filter, which kills any microbes before entering your colon. Adjustable temperature controls & pressure gage enable me to give a very controlled monitored treatment. Also allowing me a constant supply of water, which means I don’t have to stop to refill water tanks. The machine has an illuminated viewing tube making it easy to identify the waste. I use disposable speculums & hospital-approved disinfectant solutions.
What Happens after the Treatment ?
You can resume normal daily activities upon leaving the clinic. You may notice the increased need to urinate for a short while after the treatment, this is because your colon absorbs lots of water during the treatment which filters back into the bladder. Most people won’t have any side effects & feel fantastic. It could take a few days before you have another bowel movement, this depends how quick your transit time is. Most people find it resumes within 24 hrs.
Many people enjoy the light fresh feeling, sense of well-being and enhanced energy levels that often comes from receiving a colonic.
