The colon is an important part of the digestive system approximately 5 feet in length by 2½” in diameter. It completes the digestive process and handles food waste and other bodily waste, is normally populated by billions of friendly bacteria which assist in detoxifying waste, synthesising certain vitamins and helping us guard against infection.

Why have a Colonic?

The colon is an extremely important organ, considering that we take care of our outer self on a daily basis, washing our hair, brushing our teeth, but do we ever consider our colon?

The delicate balance of the colon can easily be disturbed by a number of factors, including stress, change of diet, certain medication and exposure to toxic substances. This toxic environment can contribute to many chronic conditions which colon hydrotherapy can help.

In health, bowel transit time from eating to defecation is 24 hours or less and bowel movement is at least once daily. In dis-ease, poor digestion, yeast overgrowth, IBS, chronic constipation and diarrhoea are usually accompanied by auto-intoxication, literally self poisoning, and re-absorption of soluble wastes into the bloodstream which places a heavy burden upon other eliminative organs e.g. kidneys, lungs and skin.

Facts

We carry on average 5 - 25lbs of waste material in our bowels
1 in 3 patients visiting GP surgeries have a bowel condition
¾ of the workload of Gastroenterologists involves IBS
The West has the highest incidence of bowel cancer linked to low fibre, high animal protein diets
Correct function of the colon is a necessity for health as dis-ease can begin in the colon and it has been said that colon conditions can lead to 80% of all dis-eased states

What conditions can be helped?

Constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, colitis, diverticulitis, sinusitis, halitosis, headaches, flatulence, haemorrhoids, skin conditions, bloating, asthma, allergies, fatigue and many emotional states such as depression and lethargy are also helped by the resultant detoxifying effects.

What is involved?

On your first consultation, we will complete a case history noting any medication you may be taking, lifestyle, ailments and any conditions past and present. Advice may be given in areas such as diet, herbs, posture, fluid intake, exercise etc. Warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the rectum which progressively softens and expels faecal matter and compacted deposits. The carefully regulated temperature of the water is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure together with special massage techniques which soften and cleanse the colon of faecal matter and old deposits which are piped away with the waste water. Herbal preparations and implants of Lactobacillus acidophilus may be used to assure normalisation of the bowel. The body replaces beneficial bacteria naturally within 48 hours.

Is it safe?

Yes, it is completely safe. Equipment is single use, sterile and disposable. Water pressure is very low, so there is no danger of bowel perforation and the water is pre-filtered twice. Bed linen is changed after each patient. Modesty is preserved to the utmost during the procedure.

Will I be okay to drive?

Absolutely, you should be able to resume your normal day.

How long does it take?

Approximately one and a half hours.

And the results?

As well as helping with specific problems, most people feel lighter, more energised with an overall sense of mental and physical well being. Relief from bloating, constipation, headaches, skin problems etc. In the longer term nutrients better absorbed leading to improved all-round health and diminished risk of bowel disease.
