Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon Hydrotherapy offers a thorough, gentle and safe internal bath of the large bowel. This general detoxification, involves the introduction of warm, filtered water through the rectum into the colon.

Conditions that can be helped by Colon Irrigation;

Complex conditions such as Cohn's disease, M.E and intestinal Candida
Chronic gastrointestinal conditions such as I.B.S or chronic constipation
Many other conditions such as; diarrhoea, mucous colitis, colitis, spastic colon, diverticulitis, liver sluggishness, halitosis, headaches, flatulence, haemorrhoids, skin problems, (acne, eczema and psoriasis), abdominal bloating, asthma, allergies, fatigue, many "psychological" states such as depression, lethargy etc. have been known to be relieved by colonic detox.

Why should you consider Colon Hydrotherapy?

Of all the organs in the body, the colon is the largest perpetrator of disease.
It is said to be the initiator of 80% of all critical illnesses. Many people suffer from constipation, lethargy, and general depletion as a normal part of life!

It doesn't have to be this way!

This treatment of, in effect, an internal bath, is the possible answer to a healthy colon, prevention of disease and a feeling of well being.

Are you the healthiest you can be?

Ideally we should eliminate after every meal, this can mean up to, two or three times a day. However most people consider themselves in good working order if they have one bowel movement a day and many more do not achieve that amount with regularity.
When the colon is clean we experience a feeling of well being. In effect
The colon is the sewage system of the body and like any rubbish bin it is susceptible to stagnations and formation of decay resulting in poisonous substances within the body.
Therefore it needs special care to keep the colon free of putrefaction.

The effects of a sluggish colon...

When the colon is blocked or un moving, the decay that builds up is not only limited to the site of origin. It spreads rapidly to other organs, resulting in autointoxication or self-poisoning.

The poisoning affects all the body's tissues and can take many forms;

If the poisoning is in the brain and nervous system it can make us depressed and irritable.
If in the heart, we become weak and lack energy.
In the lungs it can makes us breathless and cause halitosis (bad breath)
In the stomach the toxins cause bloating.
In the blood and lymph systems we re sure to have a sallow, spotty and unclean looking skin and if they back up to the glands we feel tired, lacking enthusiasm and sex drive, and we look old beyond our years.

Certainly reasons to try this body cleansing technique!

Colon Hydrotherapy and Enema...what is the difference?

Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonic Irrigation cannot be compared to an enema; it functions in a different manner.

Enemas only empty the lower twelve inches of the 5 and a half foot colon.

Whereas, colonic irrigation reaches the entire length of the colon to the ileocaecal valve; water flows out at the same time that its flows in. The process is usually painless, pleasant and highly effective.

How does it work?

The action of the water flowing in and being very gently drawn out through a very mild vacuum reminds the colon how to function on its own. Once the colon regains its memory, it knows how to eliminate properly and no longer needs treatment. It is not habit forming, nor does Colonic Hydrotherapy disturb the electrolytes balance. Pressures used are half that of the barium enemas, so it is very safe. This procedure can only be carried out by a qualified specialist practitioner.

We offer an initial appointment allowing 2 hours, which incorporates a detailed medical consultation which includes nutritional and lifestyle advice, and Colonic Hydrotherapy treatment.
