So what is Colon Hydrotherapy you may be asking and how will it help me? Colon Hydrotherapy is a non-medical procedure in which the large intestine is systematically washed out using micro-filtered temperature controlled water.

How?

We insert a small instrument called a speculum into the anus and through a series of pipes filter the water in and out and the waste comes away with it. This simple, but ingenious system allows for a comfortable experience with no mess or smell – the waste goes directly through the tubes and into the sewerage system.

Colonics have far reaching implications, I like to say everything from Cancer to Constipation.  The truth is that the large intestine or colon is literally the sewerage system of the body and when it is clean the body is cleansed and healthy.

Our immune system can be extremely compromised by the colon, bearing in mind that the colon can hold up to 4 kilograms of “friendly” probiotic bacteria that literally fuel the immune system by helping to manufacture vitamins like Vitamin B12 and Vitamin K. If this bacteria is imbalanced, in order words you have more bad than good (the bad ones don’t do anything but act as parasites) it stands to reason that not only will you be suffering from bloating and constipation, but your immune system will be low.

About 70% of the bodies immune system is centred in the Gastrointestinal Tract, with many lymphoid aggregates forming in the walls of the colon. These tissue help to protect the body from the toxic sludge that is housed in the colon, it stands therefore to reason that should colonics be able to lesson the load on the immune system – they would effectively allow to perform better overall.

Our diets are filled with processed and nutrient poor foods, all of which do nothing to assist us in attaining good health. Our colons were not designed to deal with the onslaught and as a result become over-burdened. I see women and men everyday who are tired and unmotivated, they quite simply need a break from the food they are putting in their bodies and for me, colon hydrotherapy is a “fast track” detox.  Simple and highly effective and well worth a try.
