While the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver also serve to eliminate toxins, people have experienced throughout history, that when they ensure that the colon is cleansed and healed, the well-being of the whole body is greatly enhanced. Colonic Hydrotherapy has been found to be the most effective process available to accomplish this work quickly and easily.

Almost never. Firstly, many of us have a considerable amount of impacted faeces in our colon. This is hardened, rubbery or wallpaper-like material. Substantial work must be done in order to remove it. Secondly, there is a subtle learning process involved in receiving colonics. you become more aware of what is going on in your abdomen, and as your body learns how to allow the cleansing experience, you are better able to enter into that process, and therefore more material is released.

The object is to cleanse and balance the colon by removing faecal matter from the walls and diluteing bacterial toxins in the large intestine. The therapeutic effects of colonic irrigation is improved muscle tone of the colon.

The American Cancer Society reports colon cancer (also referred to as colorectal cancer) as the second leading cause of cancer related death in the United States. This is a shame considering colon cancer is the most preventable and treatable cancer with a survival rate of 90% if the abnormal growths are detected and treated before cancer spreads to other vital organs. However, only 37% of men and women over the age of 50 were screened for colon cancer last year.

Cleanse: Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body. Debris built up over a long period is gently removed in the process of a series of treatments. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin again to operate as it was intended to. Exercise: The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon encourages peristaltic (muscular contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.

Colon Hydrotherapy, traditionally known as Colonic Irrigation, gently fills the colon with warm sterile filtered water through a small sterile rectal tube. When the water is flushed out, it carries with it any material that has built up in the large intestine(colon), waste matter, toxins and trapped gases.

In 1990, a study reported in the Journal of Natural Medicine, entitled ''Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes'', showed that no patient experienced any clinically significant symptoms or disturbances.

All of these terms describe the cleansing of the colon. We use the terms interchangeably but most often say "colonics." To learn more, please read on!
