What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestines without the use of drugs. By introducing filtered & temperature regulated water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural colon movement. It is an ancient method of cleaning the colon dating back to Egyptian medical texts of 1500 B.C. The famous Greek physicians, Galen and Hippocrates, were major proponents of colon cleansing.
Were you aware that depending on your dietary habits and age, you could have anywhere from 3-8 kg of waste backed up in your intestines that could cause digestive issues? This mucoid plaque, forms a thick layer of plaster on the inner walls, as a result of which, the inner diameter of the intestines is reduced considerably. Eliminating toxins and waste is an essential process your body must go through in order to digest food, absorb nutrients and reduce the risk of suffering from digestive issues.
Colon cleansing or Colonics are in effect, glorified enemas using many gallons of water, several ounces at a time. To be efficient, a colon irrigation requires a period of half an hour to one hour. During that period, 40 to 60 litres of water is inserted into the colon through the rectum, at the rate of several ounces at a time, then expelled each time. The first two or three irrigations can prove how sensible and comfortable the procedure actually is.
After the patient is comfortably positioned, the rectal nozzle is inserted about 1½ -2 inches. A gentle flow of gravity-fed water begins. Water flowing into the colon initiates peristalsis and the patient responds by releasing water and waste repeatedly over the course of the next 35 to 45 minutes. This progressive irrigation and hydration that starts at the rectum, goes through the transverse section and then to the cecum, breaks up waste matter and achieves the complete evacuation of the colon.
The colonic extends from the sigmoid, across the transverse to the cecum, having the potential of hydrating, soaking and thus evacuating the entire large intestine. It is now understood that up to 70% of our immune system lies in our digestive tract. Anyone who suffers from constipation, gas and bloating, abdominal distention, skin disorders, headache, fecal breath, toxicity, parasites or other similar symptoms may benefit from intestinal cleansing. By removing a huge source of toxicity, colon hydrotherapy enables your body to thrive and maintain good health for the indefinite future.
Each session hydrates the intestinal tract while also breaking up the impacted and dehydrated fecal, mucoid, and other waste materials that layer the walls of the intestine. By washing these materials out of the intestines, your body is more capable of disposing of waste products of digestion and further buildup of toxic materials is prevented. At the same time, your body’s assimilation of nutrients is enhanced, and liver health and energy levels may dramatically improve.
What are the Medicinal Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy?
The most important benefit for many people is that they feel better and enjoy a better quality of life. After a few sessions, people frequently report feeling “lighter” and having a feeling of well-being in the belly. In addition to relieving digestive discomfort, they also note improvement in many other health problems.
The reason you may need more than one session
Depending on your individual situation and health goals, you may need a series of sessions. The goal is to clean the whole colon. It is rare that this is achieved in a single session. On the first session, sometimes a lot of waste material comes out and sometimes not much at all. It just depends on several factors including your ability to relax, the condition of your colon, your diet and water intake to name a few. Often the waste is so hard & well lodged in the colon that it may take a series of sessions to soften & loosen this accumulation of fecal matter. This is why a series of sessions are necessary and advisable. Colon Hydrotherapy is most effective when employed in combination with exercise, water & proper diet of non-mucous producing foods.
What is the difference between an Enema and Colon Hydrotherapy?
An enema is the procedure of introducing liquids into the colon, causing a rapid expansion of the lower intestinal tract which results in a powerful peristalsis and evacuation. By contrast, colonics involve the gentle inflow and outflow of warm water that slowly dissolves accumulated toxic material without any undue stress on your system. Enemas only clean out the lower part of the colon, missing about four feet of the colon. To clean the entire colon, a colonic is necessary.
Can a Colon Hydrotherapy detox Your Body ?
Because our modern diets are full of animal proteins, processed food, fat and sugar, the colon becomes the repository of accumulated waste and toxins which disable the body’s purification system. The toxic material ends up re-entering our blood stream and getting deposited in our cells. As a result of this auto-intoxication we feel and act far below our potential and can become susceptible to disease.
