Colon hydrotherapy, also referred to as a colonic, colonic irrigation, colon cleansing, and colonic lavage, is a very safe, gentle, and effective way of cleansing the colon. Through the infusion of warm, filtered water old debris is softened and hydrated to facilitate elimination. While there are different kinds of colonic systems, I administer the closed system which means everything is contained in tubes and hoses and is sanitary, clean, odor free and therapist assisted.
We live in a much more toxic world than our ancestors. On a daily basis we are bombarded with all kinds of toxins and chemicals in our food, water, air, cleaning and skincare products, and pharmaceuticals.
Our GI tract takes a real beating from a poor quality diet, challenged with herbicides and pesticides from factory farming, as well as artificial ways of inducing relaxation and energy through alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. With so many chemicals and toxins overloading our system it becomes more difficult for our overwhelmed and overburdened eliminating and cleansing organs to do their job properly. Congestion, constipation and accumulation of these toxins and poisons circulate in the blood stream and get stored in the body creating many health issues and diseases.
Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the most powerful and effective ways of cleansing and detoxifying the digestive system. A colonic helps remove the buildup of waste material in the colon and on the colon wall, such as impacted feces, dead cellular tissue, trapped gas, accumulated mucous, parasites and worms.
Colon Hydrotherapy can change the quality of your life. It can cleanse and rejuvenate not only the colon but all of your body’s elimination systems, minimizing the absorption of toxic waste, improving hydration and the absorption of good nutrients.
The result is often more energy and vitality as well as improved overall wellbeing.
That’s why a regimen of colon cleansing combined with healthy diet and exercise is paramount to optimal health and prevention of so many degenerative diseases.
When you arrive, you will be taken to a private room where you will be asked to get undressed from the waist down. You will then lie on a table fully draped. A gentle infusion of warm, purified water will be introduced into your colon to loosen and remove old debris. No chemicals or drugs will be used. The inflow and release of water will be repeated several times resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. A gentle abdominal massage is performed to assist in the elimination.
Treatments last approximately 45 min to 1 hour session and include the discussion of your health, goals and the colon cleansing treatment. When the session is over, you will be given time in a private bathroom to release on your own if necessary.
Before departing you will be given an electrolyte drink filled with trace minerals and a probiotic.
After the colonic you will most likely feel lighter, less bloated, more energetic and you may experience more mental clarity. Some feedback I have received from clients after a series of treatments include clearer skin, regular bowel movements, enhanced hydration and increased nourishment on many different levels – emotionally, physically, and mentally. Some feel a sense of uplift and freedom from the hindrance of toxic substances.
A coffee enema is an optional part of a colonic irrigation treatment. During the procedure, a mixture of specially roasted brewed, caffeinated organic coffee and water is inserted into the colon through the rectum.
Coffee enemas are known to help flush out bacteria, heavy metals, fungus and yeast (like those responsible for candida symptoms, for example) from the digestive tract, including the liver and colon, and also lower inflammation which helps to restore bowel function, increase energy levels and may help to heal from disorders that may have caused problems for years.
The main purpose for a coffee enema is that of removing toxins accumulated in the liver and removing free radicals from the bloodstream. Apparently the bioavailability of caffeine obtained from coffee enemas is about 3.5 times less than those obtained drinking coffee orally. Coffee enemas stimulate bile flow and the production of glutathione, which acts like a antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and natural blood cleanser.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that reside in the colon. The body works hard to maintain a balance between these helpful and harmful microorganisms, but a less than optimal diet, weakened immune system, antibiotics and other medication can all cause an imbalance.
For people with problems such as allergies, IBS, systemic candida, bloating, constipation, or compromised immune systems, they might consider colon hydrotherapy followed by a rectal infusion of probiotic.
Following a colonic treatment, live probiotic bacteria are inserted directly into the colon greatly increases the absorption and effectiveness of probiotics since they do not have to survive the stomach acid in order to reach their destination.
YOUR PATH TO A HEALTHIER GUT
Chlorophyll is a powerful liver and blood detoxifier. It contains antioxidants and properties that fight free radicals and may even lower your risk of cancer. Chlorophyll binds to environmental pollutants including toxic metals, pollution, and certain carcinogens. It alkalizes and enriches the blood with oxygen, fights inflammation, builds hemoglobin, and increases energy and vigor. As it promotes cleansing, it in turn gives us more mental clarity, and the potential for weight loss.
