What is Colonic Hydrotherapy?:
Colonic Hydrotherapy is an internal bath to help cleanse the colon (large intestine) of poisons, gas, accumulated fecal matter and the mucus deposits. Sterilised equipment is used to flush filtered water through the colon to help expel waste products and compacted deposits.
How does it work?
The colon is the last five feet or so of intestible tube, approximately five feet in length. Food waste enters into the colon from the small intestines in a fluid state and water, minerals and vitamins are then reabsorbed and toxins and other waste materials eliminated through the rectum, therefore if the colon is not functioning correctly, many disorders can result, including constipation, diverticulitis, haemorrhoids, colitis and even bowel cancer. In 1912, the Royal Society of Medicine published a report stating that toxicity in the intestines can be a contributing cause to sleep disorders, mental and physical depression, skin problems, breast cancer, bladder infections, headaches, as well as digestive disorders. The report concluded by saying: “To no other single cause is it possible to attribute one tenth as many various and widely diverse disorders.”
What is involved in treatment by Colonic Hydrotherapy?
Filtered water maintained at a carefully regulated temperature is slowly introduced using specialised, sterilised equipment into the rectum. The patients’ modesty is maintained at all times and you would usually be given a special gown to wear. The therapist will work progressively around the structure of the colon allowing water to flow in and then release, thereby expelling accumulated toxins and impactions.
The whole process takes about 30 minutes and herbal preparations are sometimes used for specific conditions with regular implants of lactobacillus acidophilus given to assure normalisation of the bowel flora. http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/Therapies/ColonicHydrotherapy.htm
The first session I had was early April. I was encouraged to try it out from a thread I read on LHCF. I went in the early morning, and boy was I nervous. I undressed in a room and laid on a table exactly similar to the above pic. I had to insert a small tube (about half the size of my pinky - 1inch) into my bum.
The session lasted 45min and she gave me an extra 15min. I didn’t have to much going on. I know it may seem sick, but I was hoping to see some gross stuff like parasites. Sadly, lol there were none. She told me that I have alot of fiber and I am relatively healthy (yeah me) so I’ll only need to come once a month, if I desired to.
Price was great for me: $40!! The woman was very nice and professional. She stayed in the room with me for majority of my session. We talked about living a healthy lifestyle, spirulina, chorella, and everything in between hahaha.
My second colonic was about 3 weeks ago on Aug 10. I had been eating like crap the last 2 weeks prior (pizza -veggie, fried foods, pop, etc). I didn’t have as much waste like I did last time. Actually, the last 30min of my hour was mostly just water. She told me that I had some candida growths going on due to the sugars/white flours I’d been eating. I felt great, and had a great day all around.
I’m hoping to try to make a trip in to see her every month. I am really trying to keep up with my clean eating, no more fried foods. I’m like 100% full vegetarian now, and it’s def. been a journey. I have so much to learn but I’m continuing on!
