COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY

Colonic hydrotherapy helps cleanse the colon of toxins, gas, accumulated matter and mucous deposits. Warm water is gently introduced into the rectum, which progressively softens and expels faecal matter and compacted deposits. Such techniques were first recorded in 1500BC and have been used in traditional and naturopathic medicine since that time. Colonic hydrotherapy, unlike laxatives, is not habit forming and actually improves the tone of the colon.

What is involved?

Using sterile equipment, filtered water at a carefully regulated temperature is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure through the rectum using a small tube into the colon. The water begins to cleanse the colon of faecal matter, parasites and old deposits, which are piped away with the waste water. Working progressively around the structure of the colon the therapist allows water alternatively to flow in and then release. Herbal infusions can be added to relax the colon or disperse gas.

The process should be painless (some people may experience slight cramping) and it takes up to one hour. In general people feel instantly better, clear and refreshed.

Why have a Colonic?

Waste material that is stuck in the colon can cause many problems. It can be quite toxic, and these toxins enter the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Typical symptoms of being toxic are bad skin, bad breath, body odour, bloating, wind, headaches, lack of energy and a general feeling of being un-well. Impacted materials also impair the colon’s ability to absorb minerals and nutrients. The build up of matter can inhibit the movement through the bowel which can cause constipation and other associated problems.

Some of the conditions that can be greatly improved by having Colonic hydrotherapy include:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Constipation
Diverticulosis
Circulatary Problems
Back and Joint Pain
Boosting the Immune System
Weight Problems
