F.A.Q.

What is Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine without the use of drugs. By introducing filtered and temperature regulated water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. This process is repeated a few times during a session.

Colon hydrotherapy best benefits the body when used in combination with adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. Today's sophisticated technology makes this health practice both safe and sanitary.

What Can I Expect From Colon Hydrotherapy?

Many clients have reported more energy, clearer skin and eyes, increased elimination through the kidneys, skin and bowel, relief from gas, and a toned and better working bowel which in turn upgrades our general feeling of good health...

What Colon Diseases Result From A Neglected and Toxic Colon?

Colon diseases (diverticulosis, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, prolapsus, redundant colon, spastic colon, ulcerative colitis, adhesions, strictures, ballooning, chronic constipation, diarrhea, parasites, etc.) as well as many other diseases are due to a toxic colon. Poor health is often due to auto toxemia from a toxic colon.

Is It Too Late To Get Help When A Colon Disease Develops?

No! This is the time that quick action needs to be taken or surgery may be your only next option! Depending on what your doctor prescribes, colon hydrotherapy can do much in conjunction with proper diet, exercise and supplementation to bring the body back into balance and good health.

How Many Sessions Does One Need?

Of course, how many one needs depends on the individual and the severity of the problem. Colon hydrotherapy can be part of a healing or a maintenance program helping to accomplish much toward cleansing, toning and rebuilding the health of one's colon.

Usually this is accomplished in a series of 3 to 12 depending on the client and the problem. After this, one a month or at the change of seasons can do much to prevent long-term problems from developing.

The primary purpose of colon hydrotherapy is to remove old impactions that lead to a downward spiraling of health. This old matter interferes with the normal working of the bowel as well as providing a habitat for worms and other parasites.

What Is a Colon Hydrotherapy Session Like?

A session is a comfortable experience for many people. Techniques utilized allow a small amount of water to flow into the colon gently stimulating the colon's natural peristaltic action to release softened waste. The inflow of a small amount of water and the release of waste may be repeated several times. This is done with the utmost control over water temperature and pressure.

During the session, most clothing can be kept on and you will be draped, or a gown might be worn to ensure modesty. Your dignity is always maintained.

Why Should I Be Concerned About My Colon?

The colon has been referred to as the sewer system of the body. It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about and most of us don't until our health becomes poor or we feel constipated or have diarrhea. We should never forget, however, that The American Cancer Society tells us that "Colon Cancer is the #1 cancer for men & women in America." One should never forget that there are over 100,000 colostomies performed every year! Don't be a statistic. Take care of your colon!

Colon hydrotherapy is not only about constipation. It is about adopting personal habits and lifestyles that contribute to vibrant health.

Is your center germs-free?

Modern colon hydrotherapy equipment should be manufactured through compliance with strict FDA guidelines that dictate rigorous accountability. The Toxygen, our machine of choice, is FDA approved and is used widely in doctors' offices all over the United States. Our system is a "closed" system which prevents germs from entering the water like the cheaper gravity systems.

We are also proud to offer the latest up-to-date disposable one-piece speculums for your safety and comfort. These disposables prevent any chance of cross contamination in this time of AIDS and other diseases!

How Does The Colon Work?

The large intestine (colon) is much larger in diameter than the small intestine, but shorter in length. It extends from the ileocal valve to the anus. The small intestine empties its contents into the beginning of the colon. The indigested food is propelled through the colon by muscular waves of contraction and relaxation called peristalsis. Bulk or fiber in the diet increases the strength of the colon to act like a well-oiled machine. This food material can remain in the colon 4 to 5 hours. The entire process of digestion can take up to 24 hours.

The colon contains a high concentration of bacteria that is very important in the synthesis of folic acid, B-vitamin and vitamin K from the food. A very important function of the colon is to reclaim water after digestion. Two common conditions of the colon are diarrhea and constipation. Diarrhea occurs when food residue rushes through the large intestine before the colon has had time to absorb the water. Constipation occurs when food residue remains in the colon too long and becomes dehydrated and too hard to expel. Many factors can contribute to these conditions like diet, stress, medications and physical disabilities. Colon therapy helps to re-hydrate hard, impacted material in the colon. It also encourages peristaltic movement and improves muscle tone that can lead to the restoration of regular bowl movements.
