About Colon Irrigation

What is Colonic Irrigation?

Colonic Irrigation is also known as Colonic Hydrotherapy. Colonic Irrigation is a safe and effective way of removing toxins, bacterial overgrowth, undigested matter and trapped gases from the bowel.

It is not a secret that many of our diseases start from the bowel. Toxins from food and undigested food particles can get trapped inside the bowel and cause putrefaction. Toxins produced as a result of this process will be absorbed back into the body causing various symptoms from skin conditions to internal pains and organ dysfunctions.

Bacteria and worms that live in the colon will produce toxic byproducts of their daily activities and these as well will be absorbed into the body causing a person to suffer from ill health. Therefore Colonic Irrigation can help many different diseases and conditions where build up of toxins is suspected as well as problems with function or integrity of the colon.

Main indications for Colonic Irrigation include:

• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Bloating (wind)
• IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
• Lethargy, tiredness and fatigue
• Food intolerances and allergies
• MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
• Skin conditions
• Fasting or detoxification problem
• Last stage of pregnancy
• Safe precaution for Piles, Fistula, Colon cancer etc 
• Before colonoscopy procedure 

What can you expect during the treatment?

One day before the treatment avoid overeating and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. These steps will help to maximize the benefits of the procedure.

In the beginning of the session your therapist will take your details, past history and presenting complaints. You don’t need to wear any special clothing; we will give you everything you need. The procedure itself involves you lying on your left side while sterile warm water is passed into your bowel via a speculum tube inserted into your rectum 

Your therapist will choose between gravity fed or machine fed supply of water. Before entering your body the water will pass through special filters to be sterilized and then through thermostat to ensure that it is at the right temperature.

Then the water will enter your colon, loosen the stool and encourage bowel to produce natural peristaltic movements. Then with the aid of pressure and bowel contractions water will leave you through a different tube removing toxins, waste, undigested particles, harmful bacteria and worms. This process will be carried out several times for 30-45 minutes, depending on each individual case.

At some point the cleansing procedure may be assisted by abdominal massage and rectal administration of herbal tinctures which aid detoxification, relax the colon and have healing effect.
