FAQ Colon Hydrotherapy What is Colon Hydrotherapy? Colon therapy uses a series of Colonic water flushes to clean and detoxify the lower intestine and aid in the reconstitution of intestinal flora. Colonic irrigation cleans the entire five feet of the colon, unlike an enema, which cleanses only the sigmoid colon, the lower eight to twelve inches of the bowel. A healthy colon is essential for the absorption of vital nutrients and the natural elimination of bodily waste and toxins. Colon therapy promotes healthy colon function and can ease a range of problems from headache and backache to arthritis and hypertension. The colon, along with the skin, kidneys, and lungs, is a major organ for eliminating bodily waste. Can it help me? The healthy function of the colon is essential for good digestion and the proper absorption of nutrients. If bowel movements are not consistent, waste products and toxins are not eliminated in a regular manner, and health can be compromised. The therapeutic goals of colon therapy are to balance body chemistry, eliminate waste, and restore proper tissue and organ function. Does it hurt? No not at all. Colon therapy uses a series of Colonic water flushes to clean and detoxify the lower intestine and aid in the reconstitution of intestinal flora. Colonic irrigation cleans the entire five feet of the colon, unlike an enema, which cleanses only the sigmoid colon, the lower eight to twelve inches of the bowel. Is it safe? Yes! "When the colon becomes burdened with an accumulation of waste material-impacted feces, bacteria, fungi, virus, parasites, and dead cellular material-the result is termed 'bowel toxemia'. This condition causes inflammation and swelling of the bowel surface, and can lead to a host of other health problems. Normal absorption of nutrients, secretory functions, and normal muscular function of the colon are disrupted. Irregular and inefficient bowel movement is the result, further suppressing recovery and encouraging other problems." Bowel toxemia and improper digestion can cause a buildup in the intestines of pathological bacteria, viruses, and fermented and putrefactive gases that become dangerous to the body and can lead to other illnesses. When toxic matter and undigested food, collected in the intestines as a result of bowel toxemia, are absorbed from the bowels into the bloodstream, the result is a recognized medical condition known as "leaky gut syndrome."
Toxins that enter the bloodstream form the colon also burden
the liver, circulatory, lymphatic system, and excretory organs such as
the lungs and kidneys. A single session lasts from thirty to forty-five minutes (without medical consultation) and uses twenty to thirty five gallons of water. It is advisable to eat and drink lightly prior to colon therapy. An enema before hand will empty the rectum and increase the efficiency of the colon therapy. After colon therapy, gentle, nourishing food should be taken, such as vegetable soups and broths and fruit and vegetable juices.
