The simplest way is to refrain from eating or drinking for two hours prior to your treatment. For those who want to do a more involved preparation, others options such as juicing, fasting or an herbal cleansing program can be helpful. Anything you do to put your body in a cleansing mode can be beneficial but not essential.

The day before your appointment eat a variety of fruits (especially apples), vegetables (please include red peppers or corn), and certain herbs -- suggestion: cascara sagrada, or wheat grass, or barley green, or spirulina, or alfalfa tablets, or aloe vera juice. It helps to dissolve accumulated fecal matter. Reduce your intake of refined foods, white flour, sugars and mucous producing foods (dairy products). Do not chew gum, eat gassy foods, yeast producing foods, and carbonated beverages.

Everyone has different needs. After your initial visit, you can discuss with me as to how many and how often you might want to schedule sessions. I generally recommend at least doing a series of 6 colonics to appreciate what colonics can do for your body. Some people initially need a series or more to get the colon functioning well. Regular clients may have maintenance colonics from once a month to once every three months.

A colonic is not painful. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are especially pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter and initially cleaner afterward. Sometimes during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract suddenly expelling considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum. This may feel like cramping or gas, and may create a feeling of urgency to empty the rectum. Such episodes, if they do occur, are brief and easily tolerated.

No, you will maintain your personal dignity at all times. You will be in a private room. You will be instructed how to insert a thin disposable rectal tube by yourself, and you will be completely covered. It is also an odourless procedure.

After receiving colon hydrotherapy, you may experience a heightened sensitivity to what you ingest and the following suggestions may help: soon as the colonic is finished you can carry on with your normal day. Certainly you can work just as you would after a regular bowel movement. After a colonic most leave feeling empty and relaxed, some experience further bowel movements. A small number temporarily feel tired after a treatment.

Yes, in fact having a colonic during your period is a great time to detox because your body is naturally cleansing itself during that time. A colonic may help relieve PMS symptoms, and any bloating and cramping you may be experiencing. Your privacy and cleanliness will be maintained throughout the entire session.

This varies, dependant upon the country and type of Colonic, between (US$40 - US$150) Although cost is obviously relevant, your health is far more important.

Most likely, you will feel great. Probably you will feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. Not infrequently, someone having their first colonic irrigation, will remark that it is was one of the most wonderful experiences of their life. As soon as the colonic irrigation is finished you can carry on with daily routine. For some, the colonic irrigation may trigger several subsequent bowel movements for the next few hours, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency or discomfort.

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.

You’ll be in session with your therapist for approximately 40 minutes. You’ll go to the bathroom, undress from the waist down, and change into a gown for the treatment. After you get comfortable on the colonic table, the session will begin. A certified, trained colon hydrotherapist is with you throughout the entire process, encouraging your body to detoxify more fully by using breathing and relaxation techniques. You are covered the entire time and your privacy is respected.

Your skin actually "breathes" and is an important organ of elimination of waste material. Sometimes, if the colon, liver or kidneys are functioning poorly, the skin will be required to make up the difference. Surface eruptions on the skin of various sorts may occur due to toxins being released. Cleansing and healing the colon diminishes the burden placed upon the skin as well as the other organs of elimination: lungs, liver and kidneys.

Most likely, you'll feel great. Probably you'll feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. As soon as the Colonic is finished you can carry on with your daily routine. For some, the Colonic may trigger several subsequent bowel movements for the next few hours, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency or discomfort. I generally recommend to have some time for yourself in case you feel like some quiet time after the Colonic.
