Today with modern technology and trained therapists, colonic irrigation is becoming widely accepted as a treatment for disease and promoting well being. Warm filtered water is gently infused into the colon using low and carefully regulated pressure. Toxins are removed gently upon the release of gas, mucous and impacted fecal matter. Thus patients will experience an increased level of energy and relief of many disturbing digestive disorders. It is also common for patients to drop weight and minimize water retention.
The colon has been referred to as the sewer system of the body. It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about. A healthy colon produces Vitamins B, and K, and absorbs water. A healthy digestive tract helps support a healthy immune system.
After food leaves the small intestine, it moves into the large intestine or colon, a muscular tube-about five feet in length and approximately two inches in diameter-coiled into a frame around the convoluted small intestine. Waste material is forced through the colon by the action of the muscles. It then exits the body through the rectum. The colon has three main parts: the ascending, transverse and descending colons. Since much of the digestion process has already taken place, what enters the colon is mostly waste material in liquid form. As the colon contracts, this substance is pushed along its length. Most of the water and mineral salts in the liquid are reabsorbed back into the body. Remains is a semisolid waste-60-70 percent water and 10-30 percent bacteria, plus indigestible cellulose material, dead cells and other waste materials. The process of elimination takes anywhere from 12-24 hours or longer. Generally, the shorter the time, the better. Unfortunately, modern diets and health habits sometimes result in greatly increased transit times. As transit time increases, the stool becomes increasingly hardened and difficult to pass due to dehydration. Moreover, as the body reabsorbs the fluid content of the feces, it also absorbs many soluble toxins.
People whose diets are high in refined foods (including sugar and white flour) and low in fiber content are especially susceptible to intestinal problems. In fact, colon and rectal disorders are much more common in America than Africa, where the average diet contains seven times as much fiber as in the US. The colon works best when it is moderately full. Dietary fiber fills this need. Although it contains no nutrients, fiber helps promote good health by providing the necessary bulk to encourage timely movement of fecal material through the colon. As this happens, certain toxic materials are removed along with many times the fiber’s weight in water. This is important because it helps maintain bowel regularity and shortens the time toxic materials remain in the body.
Just about everyone! Health begins in the colon and so does illness. If undigested food sits in the colon for any length of time the colon gradually becomes narrower. This is rather like water pipes in your house being furred up with calcium deposits! The waste matter becomes putrefied and form toxins. These toxins seep through the walls of the colon and gradually invade the body, setting up toxic areas elsewhere. Taking regular colonic irrigation will improve your general health.
Colonic Irrigation relieves irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence, bloating, digestive problems, headaches and migraines. You will feel more energized, and your skin will become clearer. Often pre-existing conditions that appear to be unconnected will disappear. Recent research has found colonics to be most beneficial for those suffering from Candia. As you can see, health really does begin in the colon.
No. An enema works on the lower part of the colon only. Colonic Irrigation cleanses the entire length of the colon from the rectum to the caecum (lower right part of the abdomen). There is no dash to the bathroom as during the entire process you will be lying down comfortably on the bed.
No it's quite comfortable and relaxing.
Is Colonic Irrigation Embarrassing?
No. You will be covered from the waist down at all times. Your comfort and privacy is of utmost importance and always respected.
The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions desired will depend on the individual. Every person’s goals will differ. Just as some people exercise on a daily or weekly basis to tone and tighten their outer body, some people also have their own ongoing cleansing, toning and rebuilding regimen for their inner body. Colon hydrotherapy could be used as part of any regular maintenance program.
Modern colon irrigation equipment is manufactured through compliance with strict federal guidelines that dictate rigorous accountability. Disposable single-use rectal tubes, and/or specula are used.

Detoxification is a bodily process that transforms health threatening toxic substances from our environment, diets, as well as our own bodies into something harmless or excreted. Our body's main detoxification organs are the liver, colon, kidneys, gallbladder, lungs, skin, lymph and blood. They help rid your body of waste and toxins. One of the most complex detoxification functions is against heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadminum, nickel, arsenic and aluminum.
