Colon Hydrotherapy / Colonic

Colon Hydrotherapy is often referred to as a colonic, a colon cleanse or colon irrigation. These are names for hydrotherapy which uses water for inner cleansing. Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste, gas and mucous from the large intestine, using FDA registered equipment, without the use of drugs. Professional Colon Hydrotherapy Devices have systems, that the pressure, temperature, and flow of water, are all safely regulated throughout the session. Filtered and temperature regulated water is introduced into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through stimulating natural peristalsis. The inflow of water and the release of waste may be repeated many times. There is no odor! Odor is whisked away thru a sewer drain pipe. Our colon hydrotherapists are trained, certified and members of I-ACT and board certified with the National Board of Colon Hydrotherapy. 

The main actions of the colon/large intestine are to absorb water, vitamins and to eliminate waste. Cleaning the colon naturally can assist the body in detoxifying from pesticides, GMOS, environmental factors, stress and more, resulting in greater overall health and well-being. All of these factors can have harmful, long lasting effects on our bodies. A well functioning colon is essential for maintaining overall wellness.

''All disease begins in the gut'' -Hippocrates 

A build up of toxins in the body can be associated with many diseases, such as leaky gut, inflammation, auto-immune disorders and cancer. 

Enemas will only reach the lower portion of the colon. Colon hydrotherapy is able to cleanse the entire colon with gentle flushes.  It is possible for the average person to carry a number of pounds of waste in the colon which has been building up over time.

 At your first session, your therapist will go over your health information on the intake form. You and your therapist will discuss any concerns and expected outcome. A colonic takes place in an integrated clinical setting in a private room, affording the patient both modesty and dignity and the practitioner ease-of-use.  

Your room will be private. Some people choose to read, watch tv on their phones or listen to their own music! Your dignity is always maintained.  You are covered with a gown and towel during the entire process. Disposable ‘single-use’ speculum / rectal tubes are provided for each client. During the session, most upper clothing can be kept on – You will be draped to always ensure your modesty. Your therapist will be communicating with you to ensure you are comfortable throughout the session.

Historians tell us that the practice of Colon Hydrotherapy, or in its basic form; Enema, was first used by the Egyptians. By the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, with the advent of rubber and plastic the enema slowly gave way to strict FDA standards and safety in colon hydrotherapy equipment. Dr. Kellogg reported in the 1917 Journal of American Medicine that utilized cleansing of the bowels, diet and of course exercise as a popular treatment. Colon Hydrotherapy eventually gained the attention of James A. Wiltsie, M.D., Who contended that “our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the Colon, and its pathology and management, has not kept pace with that of many Organs and Systems of the body.”
