Why Colon Hydrotherapy?

The large intestine or the colon is approximately the last 5 feet of the digestive tract. This hollow tube like organ is made up of muscle that moves digested food and waste through the colon with a wavelike motion called peristalsis. It has been said that the large intestine is our sewer line; if we abuse it or neglect it then it may become quite toxic. Toxins or waste that remains in the colon for extended periods of time will putrefy, decay, ferment and then recirculate throughout the body. Colon Hydrotherapy encourages the restoration of the colon’s natural function by strengthening the peristalsis, which over time may weaken due to improper diet and nutrition, lack of exercise, and digestive issues such as constipation.

The primary function of the colon is to absorb water, electrolytes, and some vitamins. It also works to store matter before it is excreted. Its minor role is in the absorption of some nutrients, namely absorbing vitamin K. Much of the contents in our colons are often undigested food and fiber. Our colons contain a large amount of bacteria. When this bacteria is mixed with these undigested foods it helps to concentrate the feces and get any remaining nutrients out of the food. Without our colons we would not live very long, as it is a major organ of the body. Unfortunately, it is susceptible to diseases, such as crohn’s disease, cancer, diverticulitis and many more. Colon cleansing, combined with a healthy lifestyle may help divert these conditions down the road.

Repetition of filling the colon with water works not only to flush waste out of the colon, but it also stimulates the colon to contract. In this way the muscles of the colon are strengthened. This is why colon hydrotherapy is not addictive, like laxatives, but is strengthening to your colon. Laxatives contain harmful chemicals that irritate the colon to spasm irradictly which is not natural. Using water to cleanse your colon can be an excellent way to achieve optimal bowel function.

Today’s diet consists mainly of refined foods: flour, fats, meats, alcohol, sugar, preservatives and fried foods. These are very hard for the digestive system to process and lack fiber, vitamins, or nutrients. The importance of a diet high in fiber is often overlooked. This may result in constipation or other digestive complaints.

Please note that even if you have had Colonics before, the Initial Consultation is still required as you are new to me. I need to take the extra time to go over health history, forms and I can add a lot of great things for you to do in every day life after the session. I always make sure everything checks out ok for the Colonic. Sorry no exceptions, it’s not my style to just put people on the table without going over the above things!

Please note that there is a 48hr cancellation policy. If less than 48hrs is given the full cost of the missed session will be deducted from the credit card left on file.
