WHAT IS COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY?

Colon Hydrotherapy using the Gravitational Method is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated faecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. There is no discomfort, internal pressure, just a steady gentle flow in and out and accompanied with abdominal massage to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic wave action.

 

HOW IS A COLONIC ADMINISTERED?

Filtered water at a carefully regulated temperature is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure through the rectum into the colon. With special massage techniques, the water begins to soften and cleanse the colon of faecal matter and old deposits which are then piped away with the waste water. The whole process takes about an hour. The modesty of the patient is preserved to the utmost throughout the procedure.

 

HOW MANY COLONICS DO I NEED?

Often the waste is so hard and well lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and loosen it. Some people may not have startling results for the first few treatments. This is why a series of treatments is necessary and advisable. Colonic irrigation is most effective when employed with exercise and a proper diet of non-mucus producing foods, fresh fruits, vegetables and plenty of filtered water.
