Colon Hydrotherapy is the internal cleansing of the large intestines (Bowel) with water. The procedure is gentle and generally quite pleasant. We use the gravity system and a qualified and registered therapist is present throughout.

Approximately 60 litres of purified water is slowly passed in and out through the intestines via a plastic disposable tubing system.

The treatment lasts about 40 to 45 min.  You will be asked to fill out a questionnaire and have a short interview about your condition, diet and lifestyle. Your therapist may be a Naturopathic Colon Hydro-therapist and can advice you on an appropriate programme to restore health. Certain pressure points will be adjusted prior to the treatment to help the ease of the procedure. Your stomach will be massaged during the session to help relax, loosen up and disperse gas and sticky particles. An anti-spasmodic herbal will also be introduced during the session.

The benefits are:
-Relief of bloating and fermentation through removal of toxic residues and often litres of stuck gas.
-Hydrated and fresh-feeling bowel.
-Awakening of Peristalsis (normal muscle action of the bowel).
-Reconditioning and re-education of the lazy bowel.
When there is a lot of gas, it is normal to experience some cramping during the session particularly at the start. We use soothing antispasmodic herbals to assist and relieve these discomforts.
Washing out the excess of poisons and fermented waste will allow several billions of beneficial bacteria to repopulate the bowel, restoring harmony in the system. To ensure that this takes place, there is usually a need to supplement with pro-biotics for 1 to 3 months. You will be advised as to the best course of action.
Conditions that can be helped by colonics are;

• Mucous
• Pressure on organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys
• Sinus problems
• Skin and hair problems
• Spastic bowel
• Stiffness of joints
• Weight problems

The bowel is very often “a cause for complaint”. From congestion to obstruction, excessive gas to fermentation, it can all get locked in to the bowel. Incorrect bowel action may cause the other internal organs to suffer an excessive workload. It is common for people today to have an inefficient enzyme system, meaning that food is not digested well. It is also common for people to lack sufficient numbers of beneficial bacteria in their bowel which help protect them from conditions such as candida. This is exacerbated by poor diet and excessive consumption of alcohol and fizzy drinks.

Colonics can be of tremendous benefit to our system, as we often unwittingly hold on to mental strains and physical toxins. In fact, it has been suggested that there is a connection between the brain and the bowel. I see marvellous results with most bowel problems, including those related to stress or dietary excesses. Just a few small adjustments, step by step, can turn a condition around. You have got to work with it. It’s simple: ‘Love your bowel and your body will love you’.
