COLON HYDROTHERAPY

So How Does the Treatment Work?

Colon Hydrotherapy is a procedure that ensures rehydration and removal of stagnation in the large intestine; We assist our clients in maintaining a higher state of health that has been achieved after the procedure.

Colon hydrotherapy restores physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

At Colon Care™ we adhere strictly to the highest international standards of safety, sanitation and client care.

The advantages people often cite when asked why they choose to use colon hydrotherapy:

Clearer skin
Higher levels of energy
Better sleep
Better ability to cope with stress
Sense of wellbeing
A much higher degree of “connectedness” and understanding how the body works
Sense of being cared for, loved and nurtured
Increase in confidence
Awareness of what is happening in the body
Reduction of stress, anxiety and uncertainty

THE TREATMENT PROCESS
‍
The treatment usually takes around 30 - 40 minutes. Your first visit includes a consultation and will take about 90 minutes in total, for subsequent appointments you will be here for less than one hour. A colonic is not painful, although it can be a little uncomfortable at times.

The treatment involves the insertion of a small disposable speculum into the rectum, a little possible discomfort is over very quickly. Disposable, water and waste tubes are attached to the disposable speculum. The speculum is attached to the equipment which purifies the water, controls temperature, water flow, and pressure.

At Colon Care™ our equipment allows us to work with gravity or pressure, "pressure" never exceeds 2psi and the equipment has extra safety features which prevent this limit being exceeded, so if there were, for instance, any obstruction in the colon the water would stop flowing, in other words, excessive water cannot be put into the colon.

We always work conservatively within the allowed parameters. You will be fine to drive home, most people feel very well and energetic straight after a colonic but be advised that sometimes people have a reaction such as tiredness, a detox headache or flu-like feelings.

NUMBER OF TREATMENTS NEEDED

The Number of treatments needed varies from client to client, but with any degree of sluggishness or impaction, several colonics will be needed. To do a "detox" or a "tissue cleanse" several colonics will be needed fairly close together as there is a cumulative effect. Your therapist can assist and guide you through a detox or tissue cleanse.

Although one can have a colonic without preparation, to get the most out of your treatments the following diet guidelines are suggested for healthy people.

Start 3 days before your appointment. Please first seek medical advice before changing your diet if you have any health conditions such as diabetes or other concerns.

Cut out all “junk” food sweets chocolates cool drinks, diet cool drinks, sugar, artificial sweeteners.
Cut out animal products i.e. meat and dairy. If you must have animal protein have a little fish as it is “lighter”
Cut out wheat products such as bread pasta cakes and biscuits.
Cut down over a few days and then cut out drinks containing caffeine i.e. coffee tea soft drinks

And for the good stuff!
