Colonic Equipment Types: 

Open System -vs- Closed System

There are basically two different types of equipment available for administering colonics, open systems and closed systems. There are many different manufacturers of colonic equipment, but all systems are either open or closed. Before deciding to have a colonic it is helpful to understand the basic differences between the two equipment types.

Most of the public are unaware that there is a difference, it is our duty of care to educate first time clients, especially in Perth as this has the unusual ratio of more closed than open systems.

To give an example, in London they do 6000 colonics per month, and there is only 1 open system.

It can be quite daunting as your digestive system is connected to your nervous system (obviously), plus the fact that is an unknown, and can be quite scary.

It is important to know that your therapist has been trained in the use of colon hydrotherapy equipment, in house training is not sufficient to perform such treatments, Certified training is essential for a safe colonic.

Closed Colonic System

Conventional closed systems require a therapist to insert a speculum into the client’s rectum and then attach a disposable hose. A pressurized stream of water is then delivered through the attached hose. When the colon is filled & pressure reaches maximum levels the therapist manually drains the colon back through the hose. Water pressure & temperature within the colon must be monitored constantly to avoid leakage or perforation, requiring the constant attention of the therapist. A closed system is a better choice for clients who have spinal injuries or other conditions causing a loss of the anal sphincter muscle.
