More commonly referred to as a “colonic”, colon hydrotherapy or colon irrigation is a superior method used to cleanse the colon, or large intestine. Records indicate that colonics were administered in ancient Egypt over 4000 years ago! Fortunately, technology has advanced tremendously over the years and the procedure, when performed by a trained therapist is extremely safe, hygienic, comfortable and very effective.

Many people believe that a colonic is essentially a glorified enema. However, colonics are much more effective and productive than a simple enema primarily because it uses many gallons of clean, pure water under a small amount of pressure, it cleanses the entire large intestine, not just the lower part, and it requires the use of specialized self contained and closed equipment. A colon hydrotherapy treatment also requires the assistance of a trained and experienced colon hydrotherapist, preferrably those that are nationally and I-ACT certified.  

As our society becomes more reliant upon highly processed and chemically laden foods that lack fiber and other nutrients, the incidence of Gastro-Intestinal (GI) or digestive disorders such as heartburn, indigestion, malabsorption, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome are steadily rising. The need for proactive strategies to treat these conditions without resorting to prescription medications that merely cover symptoms without treating the cause has never been greater.

The digestive system is essentially a “tube”. This tube begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. We get the majority of our nutrients from the tube and much of our waste material is packaged and eventually eliminated from the tube. (hopefully). To further this analogy, we humans are similar to an inner tube or a donut! Everything we place into the tube is technically still outside of the body and the role of our digestive system is to convert what we consume into a form that our body can actually use for fuel.

Therefore, if we consume poor quality food, if we do not chew our food thoroughly, if our stomach does not digest and our small intestine does not absorb properly, we will be undernourished. Additionally, our large intestine or colon will become irritated altering the way our tube packages and eliminates toxic waste material. This can lead to Malabsorption or Leaky Gut Syndrome. We can determine this with a simple urine test.

Did you know that if you do not have a bowel movement at least everyday (preferably more than once daily), that the waste material in your colon can get reabsorbed into your body thus altering the normal functioning of every tissue, organ and gland in your body?

Your liver can become stressed, the lymphatic system becomes congested, the blood get thicker, the immune system becomes vulnerable and asthma and allergies can worsen. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many other conditions can result from a poorly functioning tube. Think about colon cancer, arthritis, migraines, PMS and depression just to name a few.

We employ the use of colon hydrotherapy as a detoxification tool that plays a large role our exclusive treatment strategy called D.N.S.™ or Detoxify, Nutrify, Stand By™. While you can detox without colonics, the process of detoxification is greatly enhanced with them. While some people may experience a brief bloating sensation at the beginning of a treatment, the procedure is pain free and very well tolerated by most everyone. You should allow at least one hour for each session and it is best if you do not eat a large meal the day of treatment.

And most importantly, you never have to worry about contamination or odor. The equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized after each use and all of the tubing and speculums are individually packaged and disposed of after each use.

If you are serious about detoxification and your health, colon hydrotherapy is a must!
