Frequently Asked Questions
Colonic Hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is a safe, effective method of cleansing the colon of waste by gentle repeated flushing with water. Waste material can build up in our colon and the muscular action of the colon can be diminished sometimes resulting in constipation and inadequate bowel movements. Thus, a colonic is an effective way of removing waste matter by using the gentle introduction of water into the bowel, stimulating the muscles to contract and empty the colon.
The number of treatments vary with each individual and his/her condition. Often waste can be so hard and deeply impacted in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently loosen it. Colonics also stimulate the liver, kidney and lymph systems to unload toxins. Your therapist will be able to advise you on the number of colonics that may be right for you.
