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 colon—also known as the large intestine—plays a vital role in digestive health, absorbing water and nutrients while eliminating waste and toxins from the body. Over time, the colon can accumulate waste buildup, toxins, and undigested material, which may contribute to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, constipation, skin issues, and more.

Colon hydrotherapy offers a gentle and effective way to support your body’s natural detoxification processes, helping to flush out toxins from environmental pollutants, GMOs, pesticides, processed foods, and chronic stress. Regular cleansing of the colon can lead to improved digestion, enhanced nutrient absorption, better elimination, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

“All disease begins in the gut.” — Hippocrates
 

Toxic buildup in the colon has been linked to a variety of health concerns, including leaky gut syndrome, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and even chronic disease. Unlike enemas, which only reach the lower portion of the colon, colon hydrotherapy gently irrigates the entire length of the colon using warm, purified water—helping to release accumulated waste that may have been stored for months or even years.

In fact, the average adult can carry several pounds of compacted waste in the colon without realizing it. Colon hydrotherapy offers a safe solution to help reset your gut and restore balance to your digestive system.

Your first visit begins with a one-on-one consultation. Your colon hydrotherapist will review your health history and intake form, answer any questions, and discuss your wellness goals and any specific concerns. This helps us tailor your experience for optimal comfort and results.

Colon hydrotherapy sessions take place in a private, clinical setting designed to ensure both modesty and dignity. Each room is fully private, allowing you to relax.

You will be properly draped at all times using a gown and towel, and most upper clothing can remain on. We use disposable, single-use speculums or rectal tubes for each client to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

Your therapist will remain in communication with you throughout the session to ensure your comfort and answer any questions. Whether you’re new to colonics or returning for ongoing care, we’re here to guide you through a calm, professional, and supportive experience.

The origins of colon hydrotherapy date back to ancient Egypt, where early forms of enemas were used to support digestive health and detoxification. Historical records show that Egyptians used hollow reeds or gourds to introduce water or herbal infusions into the rectum, as plastic and rubber were not yet available. These early cleansing techniques were considered an essential part of their medical and spiritual practices.

Over time, the practice evolved. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the development of rubber and plastic enabled safer and more effective equipment, giving rise to modern colon hydrotherapy systems.

In 1917, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg published findings in the Journal of American Medicine, highlighting the benefits of bowel cleansing, diet, and exercise in treating gastrointestinal disorders. His work helped bring credibility to internal cleansing in mainstream health practices.

Colon hydrotherapy continued to gain traction, eventually drawing the attention of James A. Wiltsie, M.D., who noted 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.”

Today, colon hydrotherapy is a respected wellness modality—supported by modern technology, FDA-registered equipment, and a growing understanding of the vital role gut health plays in overall wellness.
