Many of our clients experience excellent results from this preventive, health-renewing procedure. It can help to improve: your strength, alertness of mind and personal health
What is Colonic Hydrotherapy?
The colon, bowel or large intestine, is the end portion of the human digestive tract which is a continuous food-carrying passageway. The colon is approximately 1.5 metres long and it’s major functions are the absorption of water, minerals and nutrients and the formation and elimination of waste.
Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle infusion of warm temperature regulated purified water into the colon. Using no chemicals or drugs, the warm water helps to soften, break up, and then remove impacted and dehydrated faecal, mucold, parasitic and other waste material that layers the colon walls.
The client relaxes comfortably on a massage table as a small sterile, disposable rectal tube or speculum is gently inserted. The speculum has a separate water and waste line that is attached to the hydrotherapy equipment. The warm purified water is run very slowly into the colon, via a filtered air system which allows the water to flow at a natural pace. The process of filling and releasing water from the colon is repeated many times during treatment. During treatments approximately 100 litres of water gently flows in and out of the colon.
During a colon hydrotherapy session the therapist will stimulate peristalsis (the muscular action of the colon to push waste through), this then loosens any impactions and may move some gas. Good peristaltic action is key to a well functioning colon, therefore the massage is an excellent tool together with the warm water to encourage this muscular action. A colonic hydrotherapy session will last approximately one hour with the actual treatment taking 30-45 minutes.
Why have a Colonic? - Benefits of Colonic Hydrotherapy
Removes Toxins
Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation of foods and elimination of waste. Faecal debris built up over a long period is gently removed over a series of colon treatments. Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can again resume it’s normal function. A colon hydrotherapy session may be considered a rejuvenation treatment for your body
Reshapes the Colon
Over time, the natural shape of a problematic colon will become distorted causing even more problems. The gentle water action and massage techniques of the therapist will help eliminate protruding pockets of waste and narrow spastic constrictions. After a series of colon hydrotherapy sessions, the colon gradually begins to retain its natural shape
Strengthens the Colon Muscles
The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs it’s functions. Gentle filling and emptying of the colon can improve peristalsis (natural muscular contraction) that aids efficient removal of waste material.
Stimulation of Reflex Points
Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points.A colon hydrotherapy session stimulates these reflex points, thereby afecting the corresponding body parts in beneficial way, similar to reflexology.
