Is it painful?

For most individuals who receive Colon Hydrotherapy, it is pain-free. Minor discomfort can be experienced during the insertion of the disposable tip, but this only lasts for a few seconds. During the treatment, you may feel some cramping in the abdominal area, and occasionally clients feel slight nausea. Typically, these symptoms are experienced if you are dehydrated.

Is it Safe?

Colon Hydrotherapy is very safe when performed by a qualified therapist. We only use FDA approved medical devices for the procedure, and all the equipment used is sterilized or disposable, and the water goes through an advanced filtration process before entering the colon. Our therapists are trained and certified and meet the highest professional and ethical standards. You are in very safe and professional hands.

How can it help?

The benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy can include increased energy, improved circulation, clearer skin and eyes, mental clarity, weight normalizing, better digestions, relief from bloating, and heaviness. By removing the waste material from the colon, the process of detoxification is given a boost, and the harmful bacteria that is produced by encrusted fecal matter is removed from the body. Colon Hydrotherapy helps your immune system to support itself by giving it a chance to breathe and allow the lymph system to effectively cleanse your body.
Colon Hydrotherapy can assist the body with healing a variety of conditions: constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel, bloating, excessive gas, indigestion, allergies, candida overgrowth, skin problems, brittle nails and hair, abnormal body odor, unpleasant breath, backache, stiffness, arthritis, fatigue, insomnia, poor concentration, and headaches.

What about “friendly bacteria” being lost?

Healthy intestinal flora is present throughout the small and large intestines, and Colon Hydrotherapy helps to improve their habitat, facilitating their reproduction. After each session, our clients are given a natural source of probiotics to replenish healthy bacteria.

What is the difference between an enema and a Colon Hydrotherapy?

An enema is a procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum, it utilizes between 1.5 to 3 gallons of water only flushing sigmoid colon (lower colon) and rectum. It can often result in uncomfortable bloating & cramping and put a strain on the anus possibly resulting in hemorrhoids. In contrast, Colon Hydrotherapy involves simultaneous inflow and outflow in more substantial quantities of warm water that slowly dissolves accumulated toxins and encourage smooth waste evacuation, without any undue stress on your system.
Enemas only clean out the lower (sigmoid) part of the colon; excluding the upper descending, transverse, and the ascending areas of the large intestines. To clean the entire large intestines, a Colon Hydrotherapy is necessary.

Will laxatives accomplish the same results?

No. Laxatives are an unnatural stimulant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin, watery substance that goes through the large intestines and leaves behind impacted toxins and waste. Laxatives can/will cause severe dehydration, and the peristaltic movement can become co-dependent on the use of laxatives.

Is it embarrassing?

No. There is no odor from the bowel movements as the system is “open,” and your dignity is always maintained with proper draping in a private room.

How many treatments do I need?

Every person is different, and we are constantly experiencing change. It depends on your personal health goals and current lifestyle. Although, you can feel relief after an initial session, it is necessary to take additional Colon Hydrotherapy sessions to sufficiently cleanse the large intestines. We suggest you book a single treatment initially and discuss with your therapist during the consultation the BEST individual recommendation for you. In our experience and historically (the Egyptians), we have found that a course of 3 treatments consecutively (3 days in a row) produces the best results with regular monthly maintenance.

How should I prepare for the Colon Hydrotherapy session?

We recommend that you CHEW something very light (i.e., fruit; no meat, starch or dairy) at least two hours before your appointment and make sure that you are WELL HYDRATED. Again, PLEASE DRINK PLENTY OF WATER! If possible, a diet of fruit, vegetables, and grains 2-3 days in advance rather than heavy foods will help prepare your colon for the treatment. Do not drink alcohol 24 hours in advance. No laxatives (natural or commercial-OTC) are required.

How will I feel afterward?

Colon Hydrotherapy has a “relieving” effect. There may be a feeling of lightness and internal cleanliness. People are often energized following a Colon Hydrotherapy session. Many clients have reported clearer skin. Once the large intestines have been thoroughly cleansed, then diet, exercise, and other health programs will become many times more effective. Make sure you drink plenty of liquids, avoid raw vegetables, reduce consumption of meats for a couple of days. Steamed vegetables, fruit, and soups are recommended.

Will I have regular bowel movements after a Colon Hydrotherapy session?

The most common post-Colon Hydrotherapy experience is having a slight delay in bowel movements (24-72 hours) and then the resumption of a somewhat larger, more effortless bowel movement. Rarely is diarrhea or loose bowels experienced. This may be due to the extra water introduced into the colon. If it should occur, it is usually of very short duration.

Does having a menstrual period at the time of the colon hydrotherapy have any effect on the success of the session?

 No, in fact, it’s usually a good time to receive a session since your body is already cleansing. Your menstrual flow will not interfere with the success of the process. Flushing the colon will also reduce abdominal pressure often associated with menstrual cycles.
