What is colon hydrotherapy? The most simple way to describe colon hydrotherapy is the cleaning of large intestine. Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective, gentle method of removing waste from the colon, without the use of drugs. Using UV light, charcoal/water filtered, de-chlorinator and temperature/pressure regulated water flow gently into the colon. The waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation. The state-of-the-art colon hydrotherapy unit are closed system, which transport waste into the drain without odor, it also uses individual disposables for eliminating possible cross contamination.
Who needs colon hydrotherapy? You don't have to be sick to get it done. I would say almost everybody get health benefit from it. Because of the average American diet, we tends to consume high salt, refined flour, fats and high sugar and not enough H2O.
What is colon/large intestine? It's about five foot and is a long hollow, tube-like organ which transports digested food waste with a motion known as peristaltic movement. Within a colon vitamin K is produced by bacteria. The function of colon is to re-absorbing of water back into the blood stream.
What's the difference between enema and colon hydrotherapy? Enema use is okay to expel waste from rectum. But you are not cleaning the remaining 5 feet of intestine. Colon hydrotherapy reaches all the way through and cleans entire colon, and don't need to retain water and rush to toilet, like with enema. Colon hydrotherapy soothes and tones the colon helping it unblock bowel and eliminate waste effectively.
How about laxative? Laxatives are an irritant, withdrawal water from body to lubricate the passage of waste. The colon produces mucus to protect itself when irritated by laxative, drugs, stress, food and other substances. The mucus may bind together with some refined food to cause blockage of colon, where it becomes harmful organisms' breeding ground. in some cases diarrhea is caused by the constipation. Be careful or you might become a habitual user and seriously disrupt the natural digestive process. Also, laxatives deplete essential minerals like potassium and calcium, and create heart, bone, and kidney hazards.
I have a regular bowel movements. It doesn't mean you don't have to have colon hydrotherapy. Usually we carry several pound of waste in our intestines--in some cases anywhere up to 30 pounds. The waste can pass daily through a dirty colon and leave the accumulated residue on the walls behind. Benefits of colon hydrotherapy are:

Do I become dependant on colon hydrotherapy, like laxatives? No. It encourages retaining the muscle or bowel to regain natural function of colon peristaltic movement. By re-toning the colon wall and improving colon functions, the over-all body is able to function more properly and efficiently.
How is a colon hydrotherapy administered? A short speculum attached to a tube is carefully inserted into the rectum. After the insertion, you lay on your back and relax. Water is allowed to flow under gentle pressure into the colon. Appropriate water pressure and temperature controlled by the therapist. The colon is filled and emptied repeatedly.
How long is the colonic session? Generally its about 40 to 45 minutes.
How many time do I need get it done? It depends on the person, but minimum of three session seems to consistently get a good result.
