About Colon Cleansing

There are a lot of rumours and myths surrounding colon cleansing. Colon cleansing essentially refers to any mechanism which eliminates toxic waste from the colon.

 

Why cleansing is necessary

Many people believe the hype about colon cleansing is unwarranted but that is not the case. Poor eating habits, bad quality of food, sedentary lifestyles as well as a host of other issues like exposure to pollution results in the accumulation of toxins, mucoid plague and numerous other harmful substances. As a result of all this, the colon gets clogged by faeces hardened over a period, resulting in improper absorption of nutrients and vitamins. With the clogging of the colon, the liver and kidneys are unable to perform at their optimal levels. Ailments like fatigue, brain fog, constipation and Candida can typically be traced back to an unclean colon.

Who Opts for Colon Hydrotherapy and Why?

There are many different reasons to undergo colon hydrotherapy. Both professional and amateur athletes undergo this process as it increases the metabolic process. Others elect to undergo hydrotherapy after consistently experiencing gastrointestinal upsets due to colitis, haemorrhoids, diverticulitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Others find that this therapy helps eliminate eczema, psoriasis and shingles. Other maladies that are assisted by hydrotherapy include those related to pain such as gout, migraines and painful joints. People with immune deficiencies such as lupus, arthritis, cancer or rheumatoid arthritis have also found this type of colon cleansing to be beneficial. This type of therapy is prescribed by physicians both in preparation for different surgeries and after surgery. Finally there are those who swear by this therapy because it simply makes them feel better.

What Will Colon Hydrotherapy Do For Your Colon?

Of course the first effect of colon hydrotherapy is to cleanse the colon. Faecal material that is stuck in the colon leads to toxin build up which can cause illnesses. Ridding the colon of this excess waste will help you feel better and more energized. The gentle infusion of water during a colonic not only removes hardened waste and toxins from the colon, but also leaves a clean breeding ground for healthy bacteria to proliferate. Being that 80% of our immune system resides in the colon, this also boosts overall health, vitality and immunity. A bowel movement occurs through peristalsis, the wavelike movement of the colon. When water is introduced into the colon during the colonic, the colon, which is a muscle, gently contracts against the water creating peristalsis. So, in essence, a colonic is simply prompting bowel movements. This action of both emptying and exercising the colon can help to restore the shape and tone of the colon, so it can work more efficiently for you long term as well. Emptying the colon and improving muscle tone also helps return the colon to its normal shape. Excess faecal material build up can cause bulges in the colon leaving it out of shape. This can lead to colon spasms. Hydrotherapy also helps rehydrate the body, as one of the major functions of the colon is to absorb water.

What Will Colon Hydrotherapy Do For the Rest of Your Body?

One of the first benefits of colon therapy is to reduce the volume of the colon, which decreases the pressure an enlarged colon might put on the neighbouring organs. It also reduces pressure on the blood vessels, which helps blood flow to and from the pelvis and legs. Further, hydrotherapy helps to reduce the feeling of bloating and gas associated with a full colon. This cleansing also helps to get rid of any parasites that have taken up residence in the colon. In some cases, medications that kill parasites can be added to the water being infused through the colon. By getting rid of waste the size of the intestine is reduced. This can decrease the girth of the waistline and the eliminated waste can reduce your weight.

Maintaining Your Colon

So what can you do to keep your colon healthy in between your colon hydrotherapy sessions? First of all make sure you eat a diet full of natural fibres. These can be found in fresh fruits and vegetables as well as high fibre cereals. Stay hydrated and drink lots of pure water throughout the day. Finally do plenty of exercise. Concentrate on abdominal exercises, as a strong abdomen will help with the contraction of the colon. Consider using a colon cleansing product in between hydrotherapy treatments. This will help you maintain a healthy colon.

Preparation

For a day or two before and after a session, we suggest drinking lots of filtered or distilled water, herbal teas and fresh juices; along with eating fresh, organic and seasonal vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soups and lighter proteins. Eating this way will naturally create a healthier intestinal cleansing atmosphere as well as reduce the possibilities of both excess gas build-up and delay in resuming your proper elimination function.

We recommend not having anything to eat for 2 hours prior to your session, although drinking water or fresh juice is fine. For better results you may eliminate red meats and dairy and eat plenty of high fibre foods 24 to 48 hours prior to your session, although this is not necessary.

Be sure to evacuate feces before the therapy.
