At over 5 feet in length, the colon is responsible for the final part of the digestive process – it contains and eliminates body waste and toxins and absorbs water from faeces to aid in elimination. It is also home to billions of intestinal bacteria which work to detoxify waste and produce certain vitamins and nutrients. Being involved in so many critical functions it is important to maintain its health.
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective way of cleansing the large intestine to help remove fæcal matter and associated toxins that might not have been expelled naturally by the body.
Your treatment
After taking time to complete a thorough case history, purified, filtered, temperature regulated water is gently let into the body at a very low pressure. This allows the release of any stored fæcal matter, gas, mucous or toxic substances through enclosed tubing which leads straight out to the mains drainage system. Massage techniques may be applied to the abdomen to help with the release of any impacted matter. The practitioner may also use reflex points on the feet and possibly use and recommend certain herbs and probiotics to improve the health of the colon.
