What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon
Hydrotherapy is also know as colonic irrigation, high colonic, enterolavage,
or simply colonic. It is the process of cleansing the colon by passing
a gentle flow of warm purified water through it with the use of special
equipment. It differs from and enema in that it treats the whole colon,
not just the last few inches of the lower bowl. This has the effect
of flushing out impacted fecal matter, toxins, mucous, and even parasites,
which often build up over the passage of time. It is a procedure that
should only be undertaken by a qualified practitioner. Cleansing the
colon with the use of hydrotherapy is not a new concept. Forms of colon
hydrotherapy have been around for many years.
During the session, the therapist may provide
gentle stimulation to help the client dislodge impacted fecal matter.
Normally, a series of sessions will be required to achieve desired
results regarding the elimination of impacted, decaying matter, and
restoration of bowel regularity. Initially only gas and recent fecal
matter may be expelled. The residue attached to the colon wall is usually
the result of years of neglect, and most therapists say that one cannot
expect complete relief in only one session.
Why
Colon Hydrotherapy?
Over time, people may, develop a thick layer of
fecal matter that coats their colon. It hardens and becomes impacted,
reducing the efficiency of the bowel, and in some cases completely obstructing
normal elimination of waste from the body. It is quite common for people
to only have one bowel movement per day, some a few as one or two per
week. Alternative practitioners advise that we probably should have
one bowel movement for every meal that we eat. If not, then we are not
eliminating waste completely, and if input exceeds output, then we will
surely suffer the consequences at some point.
