Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon Hydrotherapy is a procedure of removal of waste from the large intestine. This is achieved by introduction of filtered and temperature regulated water in the colon. The waste in the colon becomes soft and loose and is evacuated by natural peristalsis (muscular contraction). This process is repeated some times during a session. There has to be adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. The procedure is also called as "colonic irrigation" or "colonics".

Reasons for opting for Colon Hydrotherapy

• improving metabolic efficiency
• due to abdominal pain, continuous headaches, migraines, back or shoulder pain, aching joints, gout
• medical reasons like pre- and post-surgery, barium x-ray, stool samples, geriatrics
• intestinal distress like constipation, diarrhea, bloat, carbohydrate indigestion, diverticulitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, colitis, inability to lose weight, scar tissue and adhesions, skin conditions like psoriasis, shingles and eczema
• as a preventive measure or during lifestyle change
• for emotional problems which are felt to be physiologically rooted in the intestines

Effects

• Colon cleansing : the toxic excrement is broken down and this can no longer inhibit elimination. Toxins that are accumulated over a period of time are gently removed and the colon starts to function normally
• Exercising the colon : toxins result in weakening of the colon and disturbance in its function. Colonics improves peristalsis due to which the colon naturally moves the material. The process is similar to taking the colon to the gym
• Reshaping the colon : the collection of toxins results in enlargement of the colon. Due to colon hydrotherapy, the bulging pockets and narrow, spastic constrictions are eliminated and the natural state is attained
• Hydration : water is absorbed in the body through the colon and this increases the volume and circulation of the blood. The toxins are diluted and flushed out. Due to this the elimination through the kidneys, skin and bowels is increased. The final result is that the circulatory and cardiovascular systems become more efficient

Colonics and Geriatrics
The population of senior citizens is increasing each year. Due to lack of exercise, lack of fiber, poor nutrition and dehydration this group suffers from constipation. Colonics provides good relief from constipation and enables to maintain good health and vitality.

Intestinal cleanse
Within the walls of the colon, waste material of 5 to 40 pounds weight may get accumulated. Appropriate colon hydrotherapy helps in the elimination of these excess and unwanted pounds as well as the dull and irritable feeling caused by them. Thus, this is an efficient method of detox, relaxation and establishing a body-mind-spirit connection.
