Also known as ‘Colonics’ or ‘Colonic Irrigation’ It is a safe, gentle, clean form of Complementary Therapy that cleanses the Colon of toxic waste. Colonic Hydrotherapy has been used as a complementary therapy and in orthodox medical treatment for nearly 100 years, gaining popularity in the famous health spas of Europe.

The digestive tract runs from the mouth to the anus. The colon (or large intestine) is the end part. The colon is a large muscle and is approximately 5 feet long and 2 and a half inches in diameter. It’s major function is to eliminate waste, to conserve water and some vitamins are absorbed through the Colon.

A toxic bowel can lead to a multitude of symptoms ranging from wind, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea to headaches, lethargy, skin eruptions/rashes, mood changes, inability to lose weight, hormone dysfunction, low immune system to name but a few.

Waste matter such as impacted faeces, parasites, worms, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous pose several problems. First they are very toxic and you are holding the toxins in the body. They can then re-enter the blood stream and make us feel tired, weak or even ill. Also the impacted faeces can inhibit the absorption of vital vitamins and minerals and can affect the muscular activity of the colon leading to sluggish bowel or constipation.

You will be welcomed into a warm, friendly, comfortable environment. Throughout the treatment our Colonic Therapist will explain everything and all your needs will be taken care of. Modesty is preserved at all times. Most clients find the procedure relaxing. The colonic treatment itself takes about 30-40 minutes. Warm water is introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to release the stored matter. Your therapist will give you specialist advice on nutrition and beneficial dietary changes.

This will be assessed on your first consultation depending on the condition of your colon; even one treatment will always help.

The procedure is perfectly safe. All equipment is either disposable or sterilised using solutions that are hospital approved and kill viruses, bacteria and fungi. The water is introduced at low gravitational pressure so there is no danger of bowel perforation.
