Colon Hydrotherapy

What is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy, using the gravity method, is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. There is usually no discomfort, very little internal pressure, just a steady, gentle flow in and out of the colon.

How Is a Colon Hydrotherapy Administered?

With the closed system, there will be a therapist present during the whole session, a person receiving colon hydrotherapy lies on a bed on their left side. A speculum is gently inserted into the rectum, by yourself or with the help of the therapist. Water flow, which is under the control of the person receiving the colon hydrotherapy, flows into the colon via speculum, then out and around the speculum carrying with it impacted feces and mucus. As the water flows out of the colon you gently massage your abdomen to help the colon release its contents.

With the open system, a person is lying virtually flat, allowing the water to flow around the entire colon without the counter forces of gravity. During a 30-45-minute session the person will be flushed with up to 15 gallons of water. Larger solid pieces can be eliminated without having to fit through a speculum. The rectal nozzle is locked in place and moves to the side when the client eliminates the waste matter. The nozzle cannot be over-inserted into the colon because it is locked into the scoop on the catch basin. The entire procedure is virtually odorless.

What happens during a colon hydrotherapy?

All waste is disposed though the tube: thus, there is no odor. The use of disposable instruments is employed to secure total sanitation and hygiene. Our water is filtered and passed though UV light system.
