Colon Hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is a warm internal bath that deeply cleanses the colon toxins, gas and faecal matter. It is the ultimate body detox

----------------------------------

The stresses of living in modern society and the western diet provide excellent conditions for toxic waste build up. The average person can contain 5 – 15 pounds (2 – 7 kilograms) of waste matter. When waste and toxins accumulate the body reaches a state of toxicity.

Acne, psoriasis and other skin problems *, Asthma, allergies, persistent runny nose and colds, Anxiety, depression and irritability *, Arthritis, Bladder Infections, Bloated stomach and wind *, Candida *, Cellulite *, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Constipation, Fluid retention, Food allergies, Halitosis (bad breath) *, Headaches and sinus problems, Haemorrhoids, Indigestion, Insomnia, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lethargy *, Menstrual problems, pre-menstrual syndrome, Poor memory *, Weakened immune system *, Weight problems

----------------------------------

During your colonic it is the large bowel that is being cleansed. The large bowel is approximately 1.5 metres (5 feet) long and 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) in diameter. It is an extremely important organ and has an extensive role and influence on the body and it's various systems. These include:
# The completion of absorption
# The elimination of toxins from the liver and lymphatic system

---------------------------------

Providing an environment for the ‘Friendly or good bacteria' that aid the immune system by:

# Fighting infection and disease
# The formation of faeces and their expulsion
# The production of certain vitamins

-------------------------------

If you are taking any medication or supplements it is very important that you bring these with you on the day of the treatment. You will then lie on your left side as the speculum (disposable tube) is passed into your rectum. The speculum is approximately 2 inches long. You will feel a slight pressure as it enters.

------------------------------

The warm water will gently begin to enter the rectum. It is a gravity fed system so the pressure is relatively low and is well controlled by your practitioner. You will begin to feel a ‘butterflies' sensation as the material begins to leave the rectum. After a few minutes you will move on to your back with your knees slightly bent and your treatment will continue.

----------------------------------

The practitioner will perform a special abdominal massage during the procedure. The massage allows the release of faecal matter. Many clients find the procedure deeply relaxing. The colonic system is closed therefore posing no risk of release into the treatment room. It is a completely clean and odourless procedure. The treatment lasts approximately 45 minutes.

------------------------------------

A Treatment regime will be discussed after your first session. This varies from person to person as several factors effect the degree of bowel congestion. Most people feel a sense of cleanliness, feel lighter and more energised. You will be able to carry on with you everyday duties as normal after your treatment. The cost of treatment is £60 per session.
