What is Colonic Irrigation/Hydrotherapy?
Colonic Irrigation also known as Colonic hydrotherapy is the slow infusion of hot and cold water into the large intestine. It’s a way of cleansing the bowels through natural filtered water.
The process is very gentle and is done with all disposable equipment. A small speculum is inserted into the rectum about 2-3 inches and the colon is then filled with water. Whatever fecal material is loosened within the 40-45 minutes of the colonic session you will see pass through a small window in the machine where the therapist and client can view and analyze the releases.
Colonics are recommended to do once a week for four weeks.
Here are 5 benefits that colonics can bring:
1. Alleviates gas- (that feeling of bloat, fullness and the so called belly “pooch” can be helped through colonics)
2. Helps with Constipation and weight ( Colonics help exercise your large intestine muscles making it contract (called peristalsis) and allows the colon to get a work out so that you can have better bowel movements thus decreasing the amount of fecal weight)
3. Skin - The saying you are what you eat holds truth. Anything negative on the inside will reflect on the outside. Colonics help cleanse you of toxins and bacteria and can alter the outer appearance of your skin and help with blemishes, acne, pimples, dark circles under eyes, rashes and a lot of other skin conditions.
4. Parasites - Yes even humans have parasites. We can get parasites through our food, water, touch and fecal. Colonics help cleanse the body of these parasites and clean your system so you are free of toxins and pollutants.
5. Immunity and digestion- The colon is responsible for 70% of the immunity in our bodies. Our good bacteria grow on the wall of our colons. If it is impacted with feces, toxins, and bacteria then that healthy bacteria cannot grow. Only in a clean environment can it thrive. Therefore cleansing the wall help the good bacteria grow faster and healthier therefore improving our immunity and our digestion.
