People do not feel it is nice to talk about bowel management, making it virtually an undiscussed topic. Yet when this area is ignored, serious disease can erupt anywhere in the body.

Many factors contribute to bowel problems. Emotional stress and mental strain create unfavorable conditions for digestion and elimination. Relying on laxatives for relief can tire the bowel muscle keeping it constantly working. Add to this a lack of physical exercise, poor eating habits, and you are bound to have bowel problems. Many people find themselves in difficult bowel situations, such as, bloating, gas, episodes of diarrhea followed by constipation, fatigue, heartburn or irritable bowel syndrome, to name just a few.

What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, non-toxic way to remove waste from the colon. To maintain good health your body must be able to effectively eliminate bodily waste, digest and absorb nutrients. Your colon is one organ whose essential task is the elimination of toxins, the absorption of water and minerals.

The procedure for colon hydrotherapy is performed by a certified colon hydro-therapist. A sterilized hygienic speculum is gently inserted into the rectum. Warm filtered water passing through ultra-violet water sterilzer, under gentle pressure is released through a two way tube into the colon, through gravity feed. The procedure involves massage of the lower abdominal area to increase peristaltic action [bowel contraction], which helps dislodge fecal impaction. Clients are completely covered during the procedure.

The water circulates and leaves the colon through an evacuation tube. As the water leaves it carries out fecal matter, mucus, and gas. By water circulating in the colon and the bowel releasing this water an increase stimulation of the peristaltic action of the colon occurs, which has the added benefit of increasing the strength of the colon. The removal of old impacted matter frees up the colon so it can rejuvenate itself. A colon free of impaction is more efficient in removing waste and in nutrient absorption. A colonic takes between twenty-to- forty minutes to administer.

Colon Hydro-therapy gives a DEEP CLEANSING OF THE COLON. Immediately you feel lighter and experience a sense of well-being.

What are the Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy?

1. Cleansing:

The colon is the sewer system for the body and its main function in the body is the elimination of body waste. When the colon is sluggish body wastes accumulates and constipation results. Other problems go hand-in-hand with constipation and can include diarrhea, headaches, backaches, fatigue, bad breath, body odor, chronic skin problems, mental confusion, abdominal gas, lower back pain, low resistence to colds, frequent infections and low energy. The presence of these symptoms are all indications of auto-intoxification. The removal of accumulated waste is rejuvenating for your whole body.

2. Exercises the Colon:

When old impacted waste material is allowed to build up on the colon walls it weakens the colon and impairs its function. By the gentle filling and releasing of water during a colonic the natural peristaltic activity of the colon is stimulated, which aids in the overall functioning of the colon.

3. Helps to Reshape the Colon:

Many people's colon are impacted with hard fecal debris that has accumulated over many years of chronic constipation, which has resulted in decreased peristalsis and a weakened muscular structure of the bowel. These problematic areas create narrow or spastic constrictions in the colon. When these areas are cleansed through a series of colonics the colon is able to start to heal and over time will gradually resume its natural shape and its ability to properly eliminate.

4. Provides Detoxification to the Body:

Even people who eat a high fiber diet, exercise and eliminate on a regular basis can benefit from colonics. The colon, can allow some flow through, but it does not mean that it is clean. Impaction occurs when you get a build up and the opening becomes narrower and sluggish elimination develops. Waste material may remain trapped in your colon for weeks. I found this out personally when I expelled barium plug two years after having a barium enema. A built-up of waste can block proper digestion, interfere with nutrient absorption, and increase the number of unfriendly bacteria and parasites in the colon. Colon hydrotherapy also stimulates the liver, kidney and the lymph system to dump toxins. A bowel that is not toxic takes the burden off all organ systems of the body.
