Warm filtered water is gently infused into the colon via the rectum using a gravity fed closed colonic system.There are several types of systems so ask your therapist. This infusion of warm water allows toxins and impacted faecal waste to be softened and released gently out of the body into a tube and out into the closed waste outlet.
