“An overlooked key to overall health”.
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
- Colon Hydrotherapy is the process of flushing the colon (also called the large intestine or the bowel) with purified water. The water is allowed to flow in and out of the colon, cleansing it of waste material (such as impacted feces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, etc.). This process is also known under other names, such as “colonic” or “colon lavage”, “high colonic” or “colon irrigation”.
Why cleanse the colon?
- While the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver also serve to eliminate toxins, people have experienced that when they ensure that the colon is cleansed and healed, the well-being of the whole body is greatly enhanced. Colonics have been found to be a very effective way to accomplish this quickly and easily (and safely).
- With today’s diets of refined foods, excesses of salt, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, etc., we’re not getting the bulk and fibre in our diets needed to properly create fecal matter in our large intestines. Stress and pharmaceutical drugs further aggravate this situation. Our colons become “caked” with toxic material that putrifies, and ultimately poisons the whole body through toxemia.
What are some of the general benefits of colonics?
- They help to eliminate toxic, putrified material from the colon, and allow healthy bacteria to flourish again.
- They exercise the colon muscles. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic (muscular contraction) action, and this is the way the colon naturally moves matter.
How do I know that I need a colonic?
- Symptoms of a poor functioning colon can include: constipation (that is fewer than 2 bowel movements per day), diarrhea, gas, bloating, indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, parasites, diverticulosis, headaches, backaches, irritability, confusion, skin blemishes, bad breath, body odor, sciatic pain, and so on.
- Colonics are also recommended for people before a barium enema and afterward.
- They’re also recommended as a complement to any intestinal cleansing or fasting program. The colonic helps to quickly remove the built-up mucoid plaque that has softened, and come away from the walls of the intestine during the cleanse. It also helps to alleviate unpleasant cleansing reactions.
