It is a safe, effective method for cleansing the colon of waste material by repeated, gentle flushing with warm, filtered water. In a 45-minute session approximately 15 gallons of water is used to gently flush the colon. Through the use of massage, we are able to work loose and eliminate far more toxic waste than any other short-term technique. It is not habit-forming, nor does it disturb the electrolyte balance.
Historical records concerning the practice of washing out the lower part of the intestinal tract are found in a papyrus from ancient
Everyone! Of all the organs in the body, the colon is the largest perpetrator of disease. Most people do not remember what it is like to have a clean, healthy colon and a feeling of true well-being. The colon is the sewage system of the body. Ideally, we should eliminate after every meal – two or three times a day. Most consider themselves to be in good working order with one bowel movement a day - many do not even achieve that frequency regularly. Like any rubbish bin, if it is not emptied it produces stagnation with subsequent decay, putrification and the formation of poisonous substances.
If the colon is not kept clean, the decay and putrification are not contained just within the colon, but spread rapidly to other organs, causing auto-intoxication or self-poisoning. This self poisoning can eventually lead to depression, irritability, lack of energy, lack of enthusiasm, bad breath, breathlessness, bloating, spotty, unclear looking skin, stiff joints, premature ageing, to mention but a few effects.
Apart from the preventative power of Colonic Hydrotherapy, it is also a great help to anyone who wants to: maximise physical efficiency and performance, such as sports people; or those who want to look their best and glossiest such as actors, models etc; or anyone who needs to maintain a sharp and alert mind for professional tasks; or anyone on a detox or slimming programme; or those who spend hours exercising and still cannot achieve ‘a flat tummy.’
All this comes about because the body has been relieved of a great burden of toxic matter.

Laxatives are habit-forming, weaken the bowel, can be irritating and not always effective. Colonic Hydrotherapy is not habit-forming, it strengthens the bowel because it works by stimulation, is always effective and leaves people feeling lighter and brighter immediately.
It is difficult to determine how many treatments a person will need until they their condition has been assessed during the first treatment. But, even one treatment is better than none.
The colonic itself usually takes about 45 minutes – but could be shorter or longer depending on the person’s diet and lifestyle. You should allow 1½ hours for the first treatment to allow time to go over your medical history. You will also be given nutritional and lifestyle advice appropriate to your condition to prolong the positive affect.
Most people are more concerned about the procedure than the therapy itself – how do they get the water in … how do they get it out again … is there any pain … how is modesty preserved? You will keep the top half of your clothes on while being covered by a warm fleecy blanket. The procedure itself is so discreet that a friend or family member could accompany you if you desire.
Unlike an enema, there is no mess or odour.
The water employed is highly filtered. All the equipment is sterilised and the scope (the part that is inserted) is disposed.
Some people are concerned that colonics may wash out all the healthy intestinal flora.
During the course of the colonic, there is the feeling of having to go to the toilet, which is not painful. Constipated people sometimes enjoy this feeling, because they do not have it often.
Some water usually remains in the colon at the end of the treatment. This is eliminated on the toilet.
After a good colonic, it may take a couple of days for a bowel movement to return. In such cases, it usually indicates a weak and sluggish colon requiring strengthening and healing. However, for those with a normal functioning colon, bowel movements should return quickly.
Colonic Hydrotherapy is the most rapid and effective way of cleaning out waste matter, gas, mucous and toxic substances from the colon. This is what is lost during a treatment.
To lose excessive body fat, colonics is a good adjunct to healthy eating and exercise.
There are some conditions for which colonic hydrotherapy is not advised. Please refer to the drop down menu under Colonic Hydrotherapy.
