Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy
Warm filtered water is gently infused into the colon via the rectum using a gravity fed closed colonic system.This infusion of warm water allows toxins and faecal waste to be released gently out of the body into a tube and out into the closed waste outlet. Some of the waste removed includes impacted or hardened stools, dead tissues or cells and parasites/worms.
Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonic is a complementary therapy used alongside orthodox medical treatments, in many cases to enhance healthy living. While we see great results with the treatment we do not claim to cure any diseases.
It is a safe procedure when done by a qualified and experienced therapist, some believe it can be beneficial in the treatment of Digestive symptoms such as:
- Flatulance
- Indigestion
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Food Cravings (sweet)
- Candida (yeast infection)
- Difficulty in losing weight
- Excessive burping
- Distended abdomen caused by trapped gases or wind
- Allergies
- Very Low calorie diet (Cambridge & Lighter Life)
- Menstrual changes in women
- Intestinal toxemia
- Parasitic infestation
- Sluggish colon
- Lethargy
- Skin problems
Other bowel disorders that inhibit the the smooth working of the bowels and can be benefited by colonic hydrotherapy are
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS)
- Multiple Sclerosis
- ME

- Leaky Gut
Colonics have a much broader effect than simply cleansing the colon, additional benefits can be observed throughout the body in the form of cleaner clearer skin, more energy and mental clarity,much fewer headaches and circulatory and immune problems improving.
