Colonic hydrotherapy or irrigation is a gentle internal
bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate
stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances
from the colon.
The practice dates from around 1500 b.c.
Colonics can also help to re-tonify and reshape the
colon.
Treatment
During the first treatment a detailed case history
is taken, followed by an explanation of the procedure.
The colonic itself wil take 30 to 45 minutes during
which time water will be gently introduced into the
colon via the rectum whilst the use of special massage
techniques, acupressure and reflexology points stimulate
the release of toxins and stored matter.
Your modesty is respected and preserved at all times.
Herbal and probiotic implants may be used as well
as special beneficial dietary changes to further enhance
the treatment. No fasting or special measures are
necessary prior to to a first treatment, but colon
cleansing programmes may be advised between sessions.
Some conditions treated by Colon Hydrotherapy
Another view of the treatment
room
One in three people consulting GPs have a bowel
problem. Bowel disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
Colitis, Chrons Disease, Diverticulitis and
yeast infections(Candida) are now widespread.
The repercussions of toxic bowel may be seen throughout
the body system in a wide range of health problems,
and in the general malaise affecting so many in our
society.
Additional benefits can often be observed - clearer
skin, more energy and mental clarity, fewer headaches;
circulatory, immune and weight problems often improving
among many other positive side effects.
How many treatments are needed?
May vary from one to several depending on each individual
case.
