COLON HYDROTHERAPY SERVICES

THE COLON IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY
ELIMINATION PATHWAYS OF THE BODY

Optimal wellness depends on your body’s ability to effectively process food and to eliminate bodily waste. The five drainage pathways in the body are the colon, kidneys, skin, lungs, and uterus. These elimination pathways are considered your body’s natural organs of detoxification. 

The large intestine (or colon) – a muscular tube approximately 5 feet in length – is an essential organ that eliminates toxins and metabolic waste through a bowel movement. The main functions of the colon are the absorption of water and minerals AND the formation and elimination of bowel through peristalsis. It is home to your microbiome which includes healthy bacteria that supports good digestion, promotes vital nutrient production, help to maintain pH balance, promote immune health, and prevent overgrown of harmful bacteria. 

A healthy colon means 1 to 3 good-sized bowel movements per day with a transition time from ingestion of food to elimination of 12 to 24 hours. Due to modern lifestyles that include stress, dehydration, alcohol, less than ideal food choices, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and certain medication, your colon may not be eliminating waste effectively, leading to impacted waste and constipation.

This built up waste and gases can stretch out the colon’s natural shape, further affecting peristalsis (or movement.) This slowed motility can lead to a whole host of digestive issues like gas, bloating, and indigestion. Slow motility also leads to infrequent bowel movements, creating a back up of toxic by-products in the colon. A process called “autointoxication” can then take place where these toxic substances can leak back into the circulatory system to recirculate throughout the body.

Colon Hydrotherapy is a very safe, low-impact treatment to gently remove impacted waste and accumulated toxic build up in the colon. Colonics hydrate the bowels, help tone the bowels, and help bring the colon back to its natural shape and function.

What to expect

My approach to colonics is gentle, and my goal is to provide an environment where clients feel safe, warm, and relaxed.

Your first colon hydrotherapy appointment will start with a health consultation. We will review your medical history form and discuss any specific health concerns you have. 

The colonic will be performed in less than one hour, in a private room with a private restroom.

Warm filtered water is introduced into your colon through a small, disposable tube called a speculum. You’ll feel slight pressure as the water fills your colon and a lightness as it empties. This process is repeated several times throughout the session. Gentle belly massage and guided relaxation/breathing techniques are also part of the process.

Before you leave we’ll discuss your results and your recommended care plan. You can return to your regular activities after leaving the office.

Colon pressure and water temperature are carefully monitored throughout the session, and waste is removed through a closed, auto-disinfectant system without any mess or odor. You’ll be able use the private restroom after your session to ensure no waste remains.
