What will colonics do to the colon?  It Cleanses the Colon: Toxic colon debris is broken down and removed so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit elimination. Once impacted material moves out, your colon can begin to work as it was meant to.  Actually, a colonic is like taking a shower on the inside of the large intestine (colon).
It Exercises the Colon Muscles: The buildup of toxic debris weakens the colon muscles and impairs its functioning.  The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves the muscular contractions by which the colon naturally moves material.  This will help speed up the transit time of fecal material once the colon muscles have been toned and strengthened.

It Reshapes the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape and structure.  The gentle action of the water, coupled with the massage techniques help to eliminate bulging pockets of waste, finally enabling the colon to resume its natural shape.

 It Stimulates Reflex Points: Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points.  A colonic stimulates these points, thereby affecting the corresponding body parts, organs, tissues, glands, etc. in a beneficial way (similar to reflexology).

It Hydrates the Body: Our bodies are made up of 60 to 70 percent water.  With colonics, our bodies are able to absorb much-needed water to hydrate the cells of the body so that they can function at a higher rate as well as dilute the toxins already present within the body.

I have been suffering from constipation for a long time.  Will colonics help?

Constipation is termed “civilized man’s disease.”  While a typical American has four to five bowel movements per week, it is not unusual for a rural African to have three per day.  Why?  Where is all our American food going?

There are four factors involved in having a well functioning colon: diet; exercise; water and attitude.  All four must be in balance for a colon to function well.  Often, however, because the colon has been sluggish for so long, it has become severely weakened due to being constantly bathed in toxic waste, stretched from holding excessive stool, and constricted by chronic tension.  Colon Hydrotherapy is excellent for cleansing the colon so changes in diet, exercise, water, and attitude are then able to produce beneficial effects.  Just the relief provided by colonics encourages you to make positive lifestyle changes.
