Colon Hydrotherapy
It provides a comfortable and relaxing way to rid the body What is colon hydrotherapy? Colon Hydrotherapy is a therapy whose aim is the complete cleaning of the colon using water, previously filtered and purified. This cleaning is done with a modern and safe equipment which, helped by a two-circuit speculum (a 15 cm. disposable inlet and outlet speculum for adults and 12 cm for children), allows the entrance of pure water and the exit of water, loaded with waste, from the rectum without the necessity of the patient to move from the stretcher. The method or process is the following one: the pressure of the water is very soft, therefore, there is no risk of perforation of the rectum, not even in the most fragile areas. The water runs without stopping through the rectum, the sigmoid, descendant colon, transverse colon, ascendant colon and the caecum, without penetrating in the small intestine, which is protected against the ebb by the ileocecal valve. The water softens the hard materials and the waste and the dead cells that can be in the intestinal folds or incrusted on their walls, evacuating everything without any effort and pain. Thus, the irrigation eliminates the waste sometimes stemmed for many years, the same as the mucus, fermentation, etc. that disturb our organism. This hygienic measure allows the colon to regain the original diameter and the usual mobility of the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy allows an interior purification that re-establish the tonus and the vital energy. In order to complete and increase the results of this therapy, it is advisable to do a food change at the same time; for example, correcting the usual harmful nutrition. The advice is to adopt a healthy feeding, the most natural and simplest, so that we obtain the best profits of this treatment. A fast from time to time and a rectal irrigation made by oneself can also allow to improve and to extend the results we obtained with the colon therapy. The Colon is at the end of the food usage line and is the last stage where the food is converted into energy. The remains of the metabolism process collect here and are disposed by our body. Nowadays our eating habits increasingly burden our colon causing waste products to cling to the walls of the colon. This results in a reduction of energy as well as psychological and bodily impairments. The Colon hydrotherapy frees the colon from old and stubborn deposits which release toxins and impede the absorbtion of nutrients by using a gentle infusion of filtered water. The colon is massaged and trained by the everchanging temperature of the fresh water. The inmune system, which is almost to 80% located in the colon, is stimulated and activated. The self healing forces of the body are freed through this returning of the organism. Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the oldest forms of natural healing. The disease begins in the colon; and to be in optimum health the colon must be functioning normally. The colon is one of the most neglected areas of the body. There are many ailments which are corrected with colon hydrotherapy, but the most outstanding problem is constipation. All of these problems can be directly addressed by colon therapy and a healthy diet. Anyone who experiences allergies, itchiness, bloating, abdominal distention, gas pain, stomach aches, or who gets filled very quickly after eating (and can only eat small amounts of food) may be a candidate for colon irrigation. Colon hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of purified water into the colon, without the use of drugs or chemicals. It is a natural solution to disease conditions which interfere with the normal functions of the healthy colon. A healthy colon is essential for a healthy body. Conventional diets of today comprised of refined, processed foods, high in saturated fats and low in natural fibre, lay the foundation for intestinal disturbances and constipation. Colon hydrotherapy effectively removes stagnant fecal material from colon walls, preventing the build up of these bacterial toxins, resulting in a reduced load on the liver and other vital organs. In addition, the treatment removes mucous, gas, parasites and cellular debris facilitating peristaltic action and better absorption of nutrients. What do you obtain? Three or four sessions of 45 minutes each are enough to notice an improvement of the general state: digestion is lighter, you have less gases, you eliminate the liquids better avoiding its retention and either the kidneys or the liver improve their detoxifying function, headaches and back pains often disappear immediately; besides, after the treatment the skin seems better and you lose weight volume. Colon hydrotherapy also relieves allergies, digestive discomforts, pancreatic irritations, hepatitis, gall colic and bladder problems. As security matter, this therapy does not need to be applied when arterial hypertension, anal fissures or fistulas, protuberant haemorrhoids or three-months-pregnant women. To sum up, it's a completely harmless system and without secondary effects, being, therefore, good for our hygiene and as a preventive measure to keep healthy. Why do people recieve colon hydrotherapy? Athletes have opted for colon therapy to improve metabolic efficiency. A clean colon is essential for a healthy body. The main colon functions are the absorption of water and minerals and the formation and elimination of body debris. Modern food contains very little fiber and is full of processed foods, fats and sugars, all of which contributes to create intestinal problems. The elimination of non-digestable materials and body debris is as important as the digestion and assimilation of food. The debris that is not eliminated dcomposes and increases the percentage of pathogenic bacteria and toxins present in the colon. Under normal conditions, there are more beneficial bacteria than bad ones but if the colon is working slowly and there exists in it a big quantity of putrefaction, the pathogenic bacteria will reproduce more rapidly increasing the quantity of toxins that can be absorbed into the blood stream increasing the risk of disease in different parts of the body. A number come in during a fast, a cleansing program, a raw food diet, a liver and/or gallbladder flush or recovering from an accident. The twelve most frequently asked questions about colon hydrotherapy 1 Is colon hydrotherapy completely safe? Yes. In fact with new colon therapy equipment, treatments are much safer than the common enema.
An enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, whereas with colon hedrotherapy, the entire length of the colon (the large intestinal tract approximately 5 to5 feet in lenght) is reached. Colon hydrotherapy is many more times effective. According to learned centenarian Dr. Norman Walder, "One colon irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas".
No. In fact many people report their colon hydrotherapy sessions as being both refreshin and relaxing. 4 How much of the intestines are actually cleansed during a colon hydrotherapy treatment? During a treatment it is possible for a professional colon therapist to cleanse the full length of the colon (large intestine). The small intestine are not specifically involved in a colon hydrotherapy treatment. The small intestine may be cleansed with the help of an oral (herb-based) intestinal cleanser. 5 Should I see my doctor before my first colon hydrotherapy session? If you have a concern about your health or the appropriateness of colon hydrotherapy you should consult a doctor. If you are diagnosed with diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn´s disease, severe hemorrhoids, rectal or intestinal tumors, you would not be a candidate for colon hydrotherapy tratments. Professionally administered colon hydrotherapy is safe, and generally if you are free of the above sited conditions, a medical examination prior to therapy, should not be necessary. 6 Is there any possibility of bacterial or viral contamination from prior use of the colon hydrotherapy machine? Modern colon hydrotherapy machines utilize pre-sterilized, disposable hoses and speculums. These disposables are used only once during a single therapy session. Properly administered, there is absolutely no danger of contamination. 7 How long does a treatment take? Actual treatment time is about 45 minutes, but you should plan a total session visit of one hour in duration. 8 Does having a menstrual period at the time of a colon hydrotherapy session have any effect on the treatment? No, in fact it´s usually a good time to receive a treatment, since your body is already cleansing. Your flow will not interfere with the success of the treatment. 9 What should I do to prepare for a colon hydrotherapy cleansing? Retrain from eating immediately before the cleansing, be as relaxed as possible and maintain a positive, cheerful attitude. 10 Will I experience any intestinal discomfort or fatigue after the cleansing? Usually not, but since the cleansing will stir up a lot of old debris and toxins, you might experience some minor nausea or fatigue. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to rest and apply a warm heating pad to the abdomen. If you wish, a mild vegetable broth or peppermint tea is usually soothing at this time. Any discomfort will usually pass within 24 hours.
It is recommended to use acidophilus. Taking acidophilus subsequent to a colon cleansing is beneficial, because it helps to improve the bacterial balance in the colon. The best method is to implant the flora rectally the evening after your final therapy session, or if you prefer, to drink acidophilus for 2 weeks after the final therapy session. 12 Can I work directly after having colon hydrotherapy? Certainly. You can work just as you would after a regular bowel movement.
What to do before a Colon Hydrotherapy session Drinking 6-8 glasses of water (bottled,filtered or distilled) daily will also assist in the cleansing process. On the day of your session, eat lightly, mostly vegetables, fruits and grains. Unless you are on a special regimen*, do not eat in the 2 hours immediately prior to your appointment. * If vour diet is medically supervised, please disregard any contradictory suggestions and adhere to your doctor's requirements.

A: Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. By introducing a small amount of filtered water into the colon by the use of sterile and disposable rectal tubes, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. Q: Where does the waste go? A: The waste exits the body through the outlet speculum, passes through the machine and goes directly into the sewer system. Q: What are the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy? It aids in the release of toxins and fecal matter from the body What to do after a colon hydrotherapy session The close of your session, the movements of the colon muscles and the resulting releases may leave you feeling empty and relaxed. It is not unusual to wait 2-3 days for the first bowel movement. During this period, you may experience a heightened sensitivity to what you ingest. We suggest that you abstain from eating gas-producing foods, foods you may be allergic to, and in the event of a Candida Condition, fruits. Taking Acidophilus or Bifidus at this time may be helpful. Reduce the ingestion of red meat.
