How the colon affects our health

The Colon, large intestine or bowel is situated in the abdomen and forms the last part of our digestive tract. An extremely important organ in its own right, it carries out a number of vital functions including the completion of the digestive process involving absorption of water-soluble nutrients as well as the synthesis of certain vitamins. The colon is a major part of the excretory system, and is responsible for eliminating food and other body wastes, as well as protecting us from infection and disease.

We experience better health and well being when the colon is clean and functioning normally. In a normally functioning colon, this is acheived with the help of billions of friendly bacteria "bacilli coli", which inhabit the colon and make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal waste. However, the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem can very easily be disturbed by a number of factors including stress, pollution, electromagnetic influences, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs, smoking and exposure to toxic substances.

The results of this imbalance are that the colon can become congested with stagnant wastes. As a result, poisons back up into our system and ailments result. This is called autointoxication, "Self-Poisoning"

What will happen?

The treatment lasts approximately 1 hour and begins with the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure.

The colonic itself lasts approx 40 minutes. During this time warm purified water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum. Using special massage techniques the water begins to soften the stored matter and cleans the colon of faecal mater and old deposits which are flushed away. Your modesty is preserved at all times. Herbal and probiotic implants may be used and you may be advised to make beneficial dietary changes to further enhance your treatment. No fasting or special measures are needed prior to treatment but colon cleansing programmes may be advised between sessions.

How many treatments are needed?

This depends upon the individual case and advice will be given at the first consultation.
This may vary from one treatment to a number spread out over a period of time, after which preventative or maintenance treatment may be continued.

Is It Safe?

Yes. The water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure, so there is no danger of bowel perforation. All equipment is either disposable or disinfected using hospital-approved disinfecting solutions which kill all viruses, bacteria and fungi.
Colonic hydrotherapy, unlike the use of laxatives, is not habit forming and actually improves the tone of the colon.

How Will I Feel After the Treatment?

As well as generally having a greater sense of cleanliness, most people feel energised, lighter, thinner and amazingly relaxed. There is no problem with returning to work immediately after treatment.
