What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy (also called Irrigation) is a procedure that helps to
clean the colon and detoxify the body. Highly specialised equipment,
purified water and abdominal massage are used in the treatment which "flushes"
out the colon.

Why have it done?
Colon Hydrotherapy is used as a complimentary therapy for health
maintenance and as a preventive measure to guard against many diseases.
It has been proven particularly effective in the treatment of many
digestive diseases / disorders including Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
Constipation, Candida and Heamorrhoids. It also assists weight loss,
lethargy, infertility, headaches, acne and other skin disorders and
helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Can anyone have a Colon Hydrotherapy treatment?
Yes, providing you do not suffer from adbominal hernia, active anal
fissure / fistula, bowel perforation, cancer, early pregnancy, heart,
kidney, liver or gallbladder disease, severe haemorrhoids or blood
pressure that exceeds 160/100.

Do I have to eat or drink anything special before or after a treatment?
No. However, your nutritional and supplement needs will be discussed at
the initial consultation.

How long does it last?
The first visit including consultation lasts approximately 90 minutes.
Subsequent visits take no more than one hour. The procedure itself lasts
anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes depending on your requirements.

How many treatments will I need?
The amount and timing of treatments is different for everyone. It is purely
dependent on your physical needs and personal situation at the time. It
is important to remember that Colonics are not a "quick fix" for years of
problems. Improving the colon function is a process that takes time and
varies for everyone. While one treatment is beneficial, a minimum of two
treatments is recommended. Any number of treatments recommended beyond
that will be discussed on the first visit.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?
No, although you may experience some cramping during the treatment. Insertion
of the speculum (tube) is very gentle and highly lubricated. You breathe
the tube in and I simply guide it. Many patients ask, "Is that it?" once
the speculum is inserted. They can't believe that something they were so
worked up about wasn't nearly as bad as anticipated. It is my aim to
ensure your comfort and safety whilst providing a professional service.

What are the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy?
If you suffer with any digestive disorders the benefit is usually a relief
from abdominal pressure and internal cleansing. The eventual goal is
the return to normal bowel function. This leads to increased energy levels,
a general feeling of wellbeing, as well as a lighter, brighter you for
the outside world to see. For people seeking maintenance of their colon,
and not suffering from pre-existing conditions, the same benefits apply.
Colon cleansing is also crucial in the maintenance of a healthy colon.
