Colonic Irrigation

What is Colonic Irrigation? (Also known as Colon Hydrotherapy and colon therapy) Colonic Irrigation is a gentle and safe infusion of water into the colon through the rectum. Because no chemicals or drugs are used, the colonic irrigation is soothing and successful. Throughout colonic irrigation, the client lies on a customized table in total relaxation. A small disposable speculum is then gently introduced into the rectum where 25-30 gallons of warm, clean water enters into and out of the colon. A colonic irrigation session is equivalent to 20-30 regular bowel movements.

Throughout the colonic irrigation session, the hydrotherapist will make an evaluation as to whether more or less treatments are necessary. Because the systems are sealed, waste is discretely transferred into a drain line without offensive odor and is done in a dignified manner with respect to the person. Skilled colonic hydrotherapists will use light massage techniques and numerous intakes and outputs of water to free toxic waste matter.

Colonic irrigation was already used in 1500 B.C. in Ebers Papyrus. Even Hippocrates documented the use of enemas for fevers. A healthy colon functions to conserve water in the body and to eliminate waste from the body as well.

An average person may have 10-25 pounds of dried fecal matter in his/her colon. Someone who is overweight or an allergy sufferer may store even more. Different indications including constipation, diarrhea, frequent headaches, backaches, fatigue, and many other problematic symptoms may be a sign of an unhealthy colon.

When colonic irrigation is performed, the body is rejuvenated, toxic debris are removed and over time, the colon is returned to its natural shape and function ability. Colonic irrigation also restores pH balance to the body, stimulates the immune system, allows free passage of nutrients into the blood, prevents toxic absorption into healthy mucosa and strengthens natural muscular contractions in the colon as well.
