Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colon irrigation or colonic irrigation, is a complementary medical treatment that is meant to cleanse the colon by flushing it with water. The treatment is typically performed by a trained practitioner in a specialized clinic or office setting.

During a colonic treatment, a small tube is gently inserted into the rectum, and water is slowly introduced into the colon. The water helps to soften and loosen any waste or debris that may be present in the colon. The water is then drained from the colon, along with any waste that has been loosened.

The treatment is typically repeated several times during a single session, and the exact number of treatments may vary depending on the individual and the clinic. Some people may experience cramping or bloating during the treatment, but these effects should be temporary and should subside once the water has been drained from the colon.

Colon hydrotherapy can have a number of potential benefits, including improved digestion and bowel function, relief from constipation and bloating, and an overall feeling of increased energy and well-being. However, it is important to check with your doctor before getting colon hydrotherapy.

Why do colon hydrotherapy for constipation?

Colon hydrotherapy can help to improve digestion and bowel function by flushing out waste and debris from the colon. This can help to relieve constipation and other digestive issues, such as bloating and discomfort. By removing waste from the colon, colon hydrotherapy may also help to improve the overall functioning of the digestive system and support good digestive health.

Why not use an enema instead?

The main difference between colonics and enemas is the amount of fluid used and the area of the colon that is cleansed. Colonics involve the introduction of a larger amount of fluid into the colon, which is then drained out along with any waste or debris that has been loosened. Enemas, on the other hand, involve the introduction of a smaller amount of fluid into the lower part of the colon, typically for the purpose of relieving constipation or preparing for a medical procedure.

The right choice for someone will depend on their individual needs and circumstances. If you are experiencing chronic constipation or other digestive issues, colon hydrotherapy may be a good option to consider. However, if you are simply looking to relieve occasional constipation or prepare for a medical procedure, an enema may be a more appropriate choice. It is always a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider before undergoing any colon cleansing treatment, to ensure your safety and comfort.

There are certain contraindications (a condition or factor that increases risk) with colon hydrotherapy:

• Congestive heart failure
• Intestinal perforation
• Carcinoma of the rectum
• Fissures or fistula
• Severe (continual bleeding) hemorrhoids
• Abdominal hernia
• Renal insufficiency
• Recent colon or rectal surgery
• Abdominal surgery

So long as none of the above conditions apply to you, colon hydrotherapy is safe and effective for the purpose of the evacuation of the large intestines. Medical indications for use of Colon Hydrotherapy include constipation or fecal impaction, endoscopic or x-ray/radiological examination and or otherwise described by your physician.

Virtually every organ/gland and cell in the body is affected by the condition of the large intestines (colon). The body constantly produces cellular waste along with waste from undigested foods. It is important to cleanse the colon on a regular basis so that waste materials are not reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. The average person carries around 5 to 15  pounds of fecal matter that is chronically retained on the walls of the colon from a poor diet of over processed foods. After several years on a diet of denatured foods, the colon lacks the ability to absorb essential electrolytes and water. This leaves an inflamed intestinal lining in which beneficial bacterial cannot grow. 

The Standard American Diet (The SAD diet) is mostly void of the basic nutrients that are needed in order to run an optimum digestive system.  When a good portion of your diet is full of pastey chemical laden substances, it is hard for colon peristalsis to occur regularly. Over the years, the large intestines becomes sluggish which creates an environment of toxic gases from putrification and fermentation.  These gases are reabsorbed back to the liver causing you to become lethargic and potentially ill.
