Colonics is a gentle infusion of water in and out of the colon, reaching all four to five feet, allowing internal cleansing and removal of waste. Colonics involve a gentle infusion of warm water into the rectum, using no chemicals or drugs. The procedure includes the gentle self-insertion of a small rectal tube into the anus. The individual lies on his back, and water is gently infused into and out of the intestine without any assistance on the part of the client. The out flowing water removes excess flatus (gas), mucus, infectious material and feces. The temperature, water pressure and flow can be continually monitored throughout the session by the therapist. The session can be performed without any discomfort on the part of the client. We use a closed system in which flatus (gas) and waste material are evacuated through the hose attached to the instrument and eliminated via the drain line into the sewage. Each session lasts for about an hour. We provide shorts and a top for our clients so the dignity of the individual is preserved and they are completely covered. Generally, first time clients are afraid of two things: inserting a speculum in their anus and making a mess on the table. To help ease your fear, you need to know your anus is as wide as your mouth wide open. Once you pass through the sphincter-the only tight muscle, it slides right in and it does not hurt. You just feel it’s in there but there is no pain. The waste goes through the waste hose and into the sewage. There is no offensive odor or health risk to those in contact with sick patients as with enemas and bedpans and the dignity of the client is maintained. The speculum kits are one time use and disposable. Up to twenty-five gallons of water can be used during a colonics session, gently entering and exiting the colon as needed. Additional waste can be eliminated by massaging the abdomen gently, addressing different points and meridians and with proper breathing techniques. Colon hydrotherapy is referred to as Colon Irrigation, Colonics, Colon therapy or High Enema. Regardless of the name, they all refer to the use of water for internal cleansing of the colon (large intestines), without the use of drugs or chemicals.

One of the functions of the first part of the colon (cecum) is to gather the intestinal flora needed for the colon. When the accumulation of feces in the bowel leads to fecal incrustation, it is impossible for the colon to function normally and the glands in the lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora. The resulting lack of lubrication intensifies a state of constipation and generates toxemia. When the acid-alkaline balance becomes abnormal and the bowel is impacted, the friendly bacteria that is necessary for proper digestion has difficulty surviving when the colon is encrusted with putrefied water. Cleansing the colon will help bring the acid-alkaline ratio back into balance. In this environment, the friendly bacteria will again thrive and disease-causing bacteria will find it difficult to develop. The body is constantly manufacturing healthy bacteria flora. Research has determined there are more than 60 different species of bacteria that reside in the colon. Of these bacteria, more than 20 are formed in the stool of flesh eaters, all of which produce very highly toxic products. We often find it helpful to reintroduce the flora to assist the body in the process.

Colonics help release the old, encrusted colon waste, encourage discharge of toxins and parasites, freshens the gastrointestinal tract and makes the whole cleansing process easier and more thorough. The therapeutic effects are improved muscle tone, which facilitates peristaltic action and enhances the absorption of nutrients, while minimizing the absorption of toxic waste material. Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure-all, but an important adjunctive therapy in the overall health care of the patient. Some of the positive results people often experience include a profound cleanness and lightness, renewed energy & mental alertness. Others feel less toxic and bloated and not as hungry. Occasionally, some people experience an emotional release as they “let go” of old waste matter. This sort of release is almost always followed by a strong sense of well-being.

If you do not have a listed contraindication for colon hydrotherapy, then you may receive a colonic and will benefit from getting them. Everyone can benefit from some internal cleansing. Our modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive and eliminatory organs. Everyday our bodies are exposed to toxins and pollutants in the air we breath, the water we drink and especially the food we eat. Refined, processed, low fiber foods, a lack of exercise and ever increasing levels of stress all contribute to our current gastrointestinal health crisis. When you don’t eliminate properly, which is 3 or 4 bowel movements a day, toxins will remain in your body and create harmful chemicals that will poison your blood. This will lead to inflammation and the necessary pre-conditions for disease.

Session length varies according to individual needs and responses, but allow yourself a full hour to complete the entire session. On your first visit we will go over your Holistic Questionnaire with you before you start the session. We always recommend first time clients to do a series of 8-12 sessions to complete a full detoxification of the body. We offer packages for clients who wish to purchase more than one session at a time.

Enemas clean out the lower part of the rectum and colon, but miss about four feet of the colon. Enemas are self-administered in the comfort and privacy of one’s home. Enema bags can be purchased at some drugstores. There is a big difference in water pressure between an enema and a colonic. An enema is 2 psi (pounds per square inch) and a colonic is only 1/4 psi and is more gentle on the colon. Colon hydrotherapy sessions are designed to cleanse the entire length of the colon from the rectum to the cecum. A trained professional always administers Colon Hydrotherapy. The colon therapist controls the infusion of warm water flow and expulsion into and out of the bowel, while the client lies relaxed on a table next to the colonic equipment, using no chemicals or drugs. Both enemas and colonics are useful tools for internal cleansing. Both involve the use of purified water to irrigate and flush out toxins from the bowel… However, Colon Hydrotherapy is a much more gentle and effective way to clean the bowel.

Today, with modern technological advancements in colon hydrotherapy instrumentation, colon hydrotherapy has become a safe, valuable modality in preventing disease. There are instruments, which feature a built-in check valve, which prevents wastewater from returning to the water source. The instruments also feature a disposable unit, which consists of a speculum, obturator, water and waste line, eliminating any possible contamination of the client from a previous session.

Since colonics are a process of removing impaction of mucus and encrustation built upon the colon wall layer by layer over many years, reversing the situation may take a series of colonics. During the first session the client may expel considerable amount of gas and recently digested food and water before dislodging the old encrusted toxic matter. Most clients begin feeling better and removing large amounts of waste matter after the third treatment. It is recommended to do a series of 6 to 10 colonics over a period of weeks for the first time client. Then, depending on the individual, a colonic every 1 to 3 months is recommended.

Many intestinal parasites are regularly removed during colonics. With the clear-lighted observation tube of the colonic instrument, it is possible to see an amazing array of worms of all shapes and sizes come out of the colon. These parasites and worms hide behind heavy impacted putrefaction, feeding, thriving and multiplying on morbid materials. If you eat meat, especially pork, sushi, raw or rare bloody meat, junk foods, take antibiotics or suffer from long time constipation, the chances are very good that you are loaded with parasites.You can also get parasites from food handlers, shaking hands with an infected person, playing with your pet, or sexual activity. Parasites thrive on junk foods and lots of carbohydrates. 95% of people have worms and parasites!

No. Laxatives are considered to be an irritant and stimulant to the colon. They draw water from the body and produce a thin watery substance that clears only the most recently digested waste from the colon and leaves behind the impacted waste on the colon walls. Laxatives are extremely toxic and addictive!

The procedure is done with modesty for both client and therapist. We’ll provide you with shorts and a t-shirt. The finest professional equipment is used, facilitating total sanitation and efficiency. All you feel is a gentle and thorough cleansing in a relaxed, comfortable environment.

It is recommended that the meal prior to a colonic be light. No further preparation is necessary.

Refrain from wearing any deodorant, lotion or makeup for your session. It is important to take a shower before your session. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water is a good practice for all of us each day.

Both the Lymph and Circulatory systems cover the entire body and can impede many of its functions when there are obstructions in the flow of these important fluids. It is important to keep these fluids moving properly to ensure that nutrients reach the tissues though the circulatory system and the wastes are carried away from the tissues through the lymphatic system. While the circulatory system has the heart to move the blood, the lymph moves by the muscles of the body contracting and the effect of breathing on the lymphatic vessels in the chest. Factors contributing to lymph congestion include injuries, immobility, diet, dehydration, pathogens, inactivity, surgery, stress, hormone imbalances and environmental toxins.

Based on the principles of Quantum Physics, the instrument essentially works by producing an energy field that is applied to the surface of the skin. The energy moves through the tissues breaking up waste stored in the tissues, improving the immune system. The movement of lymph through lymphatic pathways moves the fluid toward the exit via the subclavian vein in the chest.

It depends on the condition and toxicity of the client. The practitioner will do an assessment on the first visit and also take a health history.

No, in fact, this therapy can help relocate a pathway to bypass that area so one can avoid post mastectomy lymphedema.

It helps to massage and move lymph in the direction to the chest and shoulders. Drinking water is important and being aware of your dietary habits is very important. This can all be discussed with your practitioner.
