Other common names (s): colonic irrigation, high colonic, detoxification therapy, colon hydrotherapy, hydro-colon therapy, colonics, etc.

Colon therapy is the cleansing of the colon (the major part of the large intestine) through the administration of water. It is a method of detoxifying the body through the removal of accumulated waste from the colon. Detoxification increases the efficiency of the body’s natural healing abilities.

It is a single treatment for many illnesses. It is often promoted as a general preventive health measure or as part of a routine internal hygiene regimen.

Why is colon therapy needed?

“DEATH LURKS IN THE INTESTINE”

Generally, an ordinary enema can cleanse only the last part of the colon called the rectum, which is 5 inches long. Whereas, colon therapy cleanses almost the entire length of the large intestine. The human colon, like that of primates, is designed as a reservoir for holding the residue of the food taken in but only for a few hours. Thus the residue stagnated for long hours has the potential to ferment and putrefy and produce toxins and ultimately diseases. As the human beings are becoming more and more habituated to eat unnatural, spicy, fatty, fast foods and untimely, under the pretext of civilized life the rate of formation of toxins in the body has compounded too many folds.

Colon which has the noble quality of expelling toxins tiresomely comes under stress and becomes defective in functioning and starts accumulating toxins. It is truly said that the colon is the most abused organ in the body.

“MOUTH ENJOYS, COLON SUFFERS”

Unless these toxins are expelled in time, they are reabsorbed into body and blood and cause AUTO-INTOXICATION which is a fatal malaise. To avert this condition, to avoid different acute and chronic diseases and to maintain hygiene of the colon, colon hydrotherapy is needed. The present-day faulty lifestyle demands colon cleaning and is a dire need too.

DISEASES TREATED:

Colon therapy has various direct and indirect benefits as it expunges stagnated fecal matter from the system. Toxins, harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses and other poisonous substances are immediately eliminated from the body.

Colon hydrotherapy is helpful in many more chronic diseases such as allergies, amebiasis, asthma, arthritis, constipation, diabetes, digestive disorders, gastritis, hyperacidity, gas formation, high blood pressure, menstrual disorders, obesity, skin diseases, etc.

What to Expect During a Colon Hydrotherapy Session

During a colon hydrotherapy session, you will lie comfortably while a small speculum is gently inserted into the rectum. Warm, purified water is then introduced into the colon, softening and loosening the waste. This process is repeated several times, promoting the expulsion of accumulated toxins and waste. A session typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, providing a thorough cleanse of the large intestine.

Preparing for Your Colon Hydrotherapy

To maximize the benefits of colon hydrotherapy, it’s recommended to follow a few simple guidelines before your session:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.
• Diet: Eat light, healthy meals, avoiding processed foods, sugars, and heavy proteins.
• Relax: Arrive at your appointment in a relaxed state, as stress can hinder the cleansing process.

Post-Treatment Care

After your session, it’s crucial to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated. Eating probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt or taking probiotic supplements can help restore the healthy bacteria in your colon. You may feel lighter, more energetic, and experience improved digestion and clarity.

Duration: 30-45 min/per sitting.
