Colonic Hydrotherapy
All "dis - ease" in the body starts in the bowel
Good bowel management is a fundamental part of good health. If the "Boss" isn't working properly then the whole body begins to shut down.
What are Colonics?
Colonic Hydrotherapy is a gentle form of cleansing the large bowel (also referred to as the large intestine and the colon) with filtered, warm water. This helps to soften and remove any impacted waste that becomes formed on the walls of the bowel. It also helps to eliminate gas and bloating which cause a lot of discomfort.
Some health problems which are alleviated are Constipation, Flatulence, Bloating, IBS, skin problems, Eczema, Psoriasis, Haemorrhoids, Diarrhoea, Colitis, Lack of energy and Fatigue, Diverticulitis and Diverticulosis.
How Is A Colonic Administered?
The person receiving the colonic, lies on their left side on the couch. They are well covered, and kept comfortable and warm. The practitioner carries out an internal examination, before gently inserting a sterilized speculum into the rectum. The water is then allowed to flow through the gravity fed system, into the bowel to soften waste and help with elimination. After 5 minutes the client is then positioned on their back and the treatment continues. Water flows into the colon via a small tube and then out through the evacuation tube carrying with it impacted faeces and mucus. The Practitioner gently massages the abdomen at intervals throughout the treatment to assist the release of waste more easily.
Isn't It A Bit Messy?
No. The water and the waste pass through sealed tubes. Part of the tube is clear and the therapist can check the condition of the waste and give you advice as to the condition of your bowel and on nutrition.
Does That Mean My Colon's Clean After Treatment?
A series of colonics (2 - 3 treatments) is usually necessary to dislodge hardened waste. Colonic irrigation is most effective when employed with herbs, exercise and a mucus-free diet. Once the colon is clean, it is advisable to have a colonic every 4 - 6 months, or every season to maintain a healthy environment.
Won't It Damage The Normal Intestinal Flora?
When the acid-alkaline balance becomes abnormal, and the bowel is impacted, the growth of friendly bacteria is stunted. Cleansing the colon will put this trend into reverse. After completing your treatments it is advisable to replace the good flora in the colon by taking a course of ACIDOPHILUS.
