Questions and Answers
What exactly is Colon Hydrotherapy?
It is a safe, gentle infusion of warm filtered water (Using state of the art equipment) into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. This is a restorative; painless procedure which is both relaxing and effective, unlike enemas with only cleans a part of the colon. The individual is comfortably lying on the table while a therapist gently inserts a small speculum attached to a hose into the rectum. Only pre-sterilized disposable hoses and speculums are used insuring outstanding cleanliness safety and no danger of contamination. The therapist then allows the water to flow in under a gentle pressure monitoring the temperature and water volume. The procedure lasts between 30-50 minutes.
Water and dislodged toxic wastes from the colon are then flushed out through the hose in a closed system, avoiding any offensive odor and maintaining the dignity of the individual. A gentle manipulation and massage of the abdomen may be given before or during the procedure to help relax and assist in the elimination process.
What will colonics do to the colon?

- Cleanse the Colon: Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin again to cooperate as it was meant to.
- It Exercised the Colon’s Muscles: The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic (muscle contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.
- It Reshapes the Colon: The gentle action of the water, coupled with the massage techniques of the colon therapist helps to eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.

Especially if your goal is to overcome lifelong habit of constipation, to achieve high energy good health and to obtain long lasting results. If you are ill, toxic or depressed, several times a week is recommended after initial series. Years of improper lifestyle and nutrition cannot possibly be reversed in a few treatments.
