Colon Hydrotherapy is also called colonics, colon irrigation, high enemas, or colon therapy. It is the infusion of filtered, temperature-controlled water into the colon through a speculum inserted into your rectum, assisted by the practitioner. When the warm (body temperature) water is introduced into the colon, it will hydrate, thus allowing a gentle elimination of water and content through your body’s peristaltic movement. This process is repeated during your session. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes, depending on how the client’s body responds on that day.
Colon cleansing gently assists in the removal of layers of residue on the colon wall. Stagnant residue can create fermentation (causing toxic gas), cause putrefaction, and harbor parasites, or pathogenic gut flora. It also creates the growth of other toxins, mucus, and bacteria. This accumulation can cause nonspecific symptoms and general ill-health (referred to as “autointoxication”), which can impact the body’s natural ability to self-heal and lower the body’s defense against disease & infection. Unlike the regular use of laxatives or enemas, colon Hydrotherapy is not habit-forming.
The session is designed to promote a healthy lining of the colon wall, allowing nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently into the bloodstream. It also supports the normal secretion of hormones and lubricants. These treatments help prevent the absorption of toxins from impacted material.
Colonics can alleviate stagnation in the colon (such as constipation) and encourage the growth of healthy bacteria and microflora. This process aids in digestion, promotes the production of essential nutrients, maintains a proper pH balance, and keeps harmful bacteria at bay. Additionally, a problematic colon can become distorted; however, a series of treatments may help eliminate protruding pockets and spastic constrictions, allowing the colon to return to its natural shape and function gradually.
Colon hydrotherapy may help in eliminating parasites. Intestinal parasites are microscopic organisms that derive energy and nutrients from their hosts. It is estimated that around 200 million people are infected by these parasites. The byproducts they produce can be toxic to the body, and if left untreated, this overload of toxins can challenge the immune system. Parasites can live undetected for many years. Examples of parasites include tapeworms, roundworms, pinworms, and threadworms. Colon hydrotherapy sessions support the body’s immune system by aiding in eliminating these parasites.
The digestive process typically takes twelve to twenty-four hours, assuming the colon is fully functional. Irregular and infrequent bowel movements allow undigested foods to remain in the colon, causing fermentation and the buildup of toxic residue. Treatments assist in the removal of these food particles, promoting colon health and normal function.
Colon hydrotherapy is a key addition to achieving optimal health goals. After a session, people often report a feeling of heightened energy or a greater sense of peace in their bodies. They experience a much easier elimination process, which contributes to an increased state of well-being and heightened vitality. Living disease-free is a blessing!
