More about Colon Hydrotherapy

Our colon hydrotherapy sessions begin with the client completing a health questionnaire. This questionnaire will focus on your past health history, current symptoms and your reason for choosing to have colon hydrotherapy. This is an opportunity for us to become familiar with your health history and for you to ask questions. You will be with us on your first visit about 1 1/2 hours with the therapy part of the session being 45-50 minutes. This takes place in a relaxed environment where the colon therapist maintains your modesty and dignity.

In the session, there is an infusion of warm, filtered water into the colon via the rectum, utilizing a small disposable tube called a speculum. The speculum connects to tubing that goes to the colon hydrotherapy instrument which regulates the pressure and temperature of the water. The incoming water enters the colon at a very low pressure and when the client feels fullness in the colon, the water exits through a tube that is also connected to the speculum, carrying out the contents of the colon that are ready to evacuate at that time. This process is repeated over the course of the session. It hydrates the colon walls to loosen accumulations in the colon and encourages the peristalsis (natural colon muscle movement) to assist your colon in releasing.

At the completion of the session, you will be assisted off the table to the bathroom where further emptying may continue. The colon hydrotherapy session does not inhibit or restrict you from carrying out your normal daily functions. We would suggest that you choose a day without too many obligations so that you can give yourself this time to nurture yourself.

For those who drink carbonated beverages, stop drinking them at least a week prior to your session. They cause a lot of bloating in your colon and many times it requires the entire session just to release this bloating (gas) from your colon. Take extra fiber in the form of Golden Flax Seed ground into a powder which can be put on food or in a drink. The suggested amount would be 1TBS in the AM and 1TBS in the PM. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day. Example: a 100 lb. person would have as their minimum goal 50 ounces per day.

We will give you further suggestions, if desired, when we meet individually with you.

Many report the feeling of lightness, clarity in thinking and increased energy. Others report more regular bowel movement, relief from aches and pains and a new sense of purpose.
