What is the purpose of a colonic? Waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time (i.e. dead cells, mucus, impacted feces, parasites, worms, etc.) could present several problems. First, a build-up of material on the colon wall could inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements, slow transit time, etc. Secondly, impacted fecal material could impair the colon’s ability to assimilate minerals and good bacteria-produced vitamins. Lastly, waste material is toxic (poisonous). Old accumulated matter in the colon provides a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. These poisons are reabsorbed through the colon wall and circulate in the bloodstream making us feel weak, tired or ill (intestinal toxicity) while possibly setting the stage for future serious health problems.
What are the common symptoms of intestinal toxicity? Fatigue; headaches; dizziness; constipation; diarrhea; excess weight; aching joints; stomach bloat; sinus problems; gas; bad breath; allergies; coated tongue; body odor; skin problems; confusion; lower back pain; menstrual cramps; sciatic pain; depression; poor memory; irritability; weakened immune system and low energy. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, colon hydrotherapy could be of great benefit.
How is colon hydrotherapy different? While lying on your back and being completely covered, one to three gallons of water are used internally to gently flush the five to six feet of colon in a 45-minute to one-hour session. Sometimes, it may take several sessions to cleanse the entire colon, depending upon the individual. Using a sterile, (single-use only) plastic tube that you insert approximately one and a half to two inches (and is the diameter of pencil), a cup to no more than two quarts of water flows in at any one time. There is no odor and no pain. Water flows in and toxins flow out. It’s like taking a shower on the inside of your body. With an experienced, certified Colon Hydrotherapist, additional waste can be eliminated by massaging, pressure points, reflexology, breathing techniques, etc. The colon hydrotherapist is able to loosen and eliminate more toxic waste than any other short-term detox therapy. Subsequent colonics will remove even more waste, including some that has been sitting in your colon for some time. The number of colonics you require will depend upon your personal objectives of rejuvenating, maintaining or regaining your health.
