Frequently Asked Questions
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy is also referred to as colonics or colon irrigation. These are names for hydrotherapy which uses water for inner cleansing. Colon Hydrotherapy is clean and relaxing. A soothing flow of purified warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a disposable rectal nozzle that is about the of a no. 2 pencil. The small rectal nozzle is easily inserted to cleanse (evacuate) the contents of your lower colon. Your dignity is always maintained! Professional Colon Hydrotherapy Devices have systems that the pressure, temperature and flow of water, are all safely regulated throughout the session. The water is purified with an Ultra Violet Water Purification System. Our devices are comfortable and may be operated in privacy for those who prefer solitude. There is no odour! Odour is whisked away thru the sewer drain pipe.
What is the colon and what does it do?
The colon or large intestine is the end portion of the human gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular tube of approximately 5 1/2 to 6 feet long and has an average diameter of approximately 2 ½ inches. The main functions of the colon are absorption of water and minerals, and the formation and elimination of fecal matter. The colon contains billions of nearly 60 varieties of micro flora or bacteria that make up approximately 70% of the dry weight faeces. These bacteria aid digestion, promote vital nutrient production, maintain pH (acid-base) balance, and prevent proliferation of harmful bacteria. These bacteria provide important functions such as the synthesis of folic acid and valuable nutrients from food, including vitamin ‘K’ and portions of the ‘B’ complex.
What are some of the signs and symptoms that the colon is not efficiently eliminating?
Constipation, Chronic Fatigue, Headaches, Depression, Bad breath, Gas, Arthritis, Brain fog, 'Pot belly', Depression, Obesity, PMS, Indigestion, Bloating, Body Odour, Swelling of legs, Tension, Allergies, Backaches, Brittle nails and hair, Circles under the eyes, and Asthma
Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?
Many of you are wondering if colon hydrotherapy is painful. Unlike the older version referred to as the "Closed System" our rectal tube used in the “Open System,” is the size of a no. 2 pencil and is inserted with the help of a water-based lubricant, just about 3-4 inches into the rectum. You feel virtually no pain or discomfort with the insertion of the tube. If any discomfort at all, once your session has begun, it’s usually due to some cramping when the fecal matter and toxins are breaking down, along with gas bubbles passing through the large intestine. Sometimes nausea may be an accompanying symptom as these components are breaking down. You can either insert for yourself or your therapist can help guide you with the insertion. It’s quick and easy! We understand how awkward it may be to move forward with this procedure so we are standing by to help ease you through this process every step of the way. Once your session has begun, and we see that you have gotten the hang of how the procedure works, your therapist will leave you to your privacy and will be back every 15-20 minutes to check in with you and your progress.
How many colon hydrotherapy sessions a person needs?
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition and goal of the individual. For general cleanses of little to no constipation and are seeking just a general "reset" of the body, we recommend a series of (3) - 40 minute sessions, in approximately a period of 2 weeks or at latest, 1 per week for 3 weeks. It is recommended that you use 2-3 sessions the first week, 2-3 sessions the second week, preferably every 2-4 days in between, and then maintain per your therapist’s suggestion. You may need to continue on a weekly basis after that until your body indicates it no longer needs the treatment. For maintenance, you may choose to have 1 session every 3 months or another series every 3-6 months based on Lifestyle and diet regimen or with the change of seasons. Some clients choose to have a session once a month for ongoing cleansing and toning. If you are on a fasting or detoxification program, it is highly recommended that you include colonics as part of your cleanse; pre cleanse, mid cleanse and then ending with the last session after the last day of cleanse. In addition, if you get sick, colonics will help with lymphatic drainage to speed up your healing. Clients that have the most success complete the recommended series.
NOTE: 4 sessions in 2 weeks is the minimum recommended.
