Colonic Hydrotherapy

​

Colonic irrigation and Colonic hydrotherapy are the same thing! However, the latter better describes what the treatment involves - it is a therapy with water and it hydrates! 

 

It involves the safe, gentle infusion of water into the colon via the rectum using disposable kits for each treatment. No chemicals or drugs are involved and the entire therapy is both relaxing and effective. This is a process of detoxification which has amazing health benefits.

​

Each colon hydrotherapy session lasts up to 45 minutes and you should allow at least one hour per visit. I allow an hour and 10 minutes for a colonic (only) appointment, so you aren’t rushed. Initially, a course of 2-3 therapy sessions is recommended, to achieve the maximum deep cleansing benefits. This helps to eliminate faecal matter which may have been lodged in the colon.

​

During a typical colon hydrotherapy session, up to 6 litres of water will be transported into and out of the colon. Using a combination of abdominal massage, breathing instruction and relaxation techniques — your therapist is able to promote the elimination of toxic waste, which the body would not normally pass. 

​

Colon Hydrotherapy can help with the following:

• Hydrating the colon

• Detoxification - reset

• Reducing  toxic overload

• Increasing vitality and performance

• Reducing sluggishness and bloating

• Kick start a weight loss programme

• Allergies and intolerances

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Candida (thrush/yeast infections)

• Constipation and flatulence

• Skin problems

• Headaches

 

Some medical conditions and medications (eg congestive heart disease or long term steroid use) are not suitable for colonic hydrotherapy, if you have any questions, WhatsApp me on 07713131482 prior to booking. 

 

How to get the very best from your Colonic Irrigation Hydrotherapy treatment with me.

​

Preparing…

It is advisable to prepare the day before your session by drinking a few litres of water throughout the day (tip: try to do this every day) to ensure you're well-hydrated before your session with me. Eat healthy and nourishing foods the day before and on the day of your colonic hydrotherapy session. Eating a meal, 2-4 hours before your colonic session is ideal, but no food or beverage should be consumed within 2 hours (except small amounts of water) appointment with me.

 

During...
Your colonic hydrotherapy session will last up to 45 minutes and a total of two to six litres of filtered water is used to gently flush your colon. Through this process and by gentle abdominal massage, old deposits of mucoid faecal matter (waste mixed with hardened old mucus) are loosened and subsequently flushed out by the water.

 

After...
After your session, I recommend you take probiotic supplements or book an add-on of a high strength probiotic implant to your treatment.
 

During a colonic some of the good bacteria, along with the bad, may be eliminated from your colon. The probiotics will repopulate your system with the good bacteria you need, strengthening your “good army”.

It is also advisable to hydrate further by sipping water and maybe bring a piece of fruit to eat, to nourish and replenish energy levels. I advise you eat a very light meal with pure, easy to digest foods for the remainder of the day. Try to stay away from raw, overly rich or heavy foods. You have just cleansed your system and I suggest you allow your body the time it needs to rest and relax, so it can go to work to heal you, rather than go to work digesting rich meals. Other excellent post-treatment dietary options include fresh veggie juice, steamed vegetables, a non-cream-based soup, light fish and soft whole grains. Please avoid spicy foods and try to stay away from alcohol - it will go directly to your head and may cause a stomachache because it may be too strong for your freshly cleansed system.
 

It is fine to carry on with your normal daily plans or to return to work, as you will feel fine. Most people feel energetic, light and in a very positive mood after a cleansing. One good choice, like internal cleansing, often leads to another, so if you have the day to yourself, go for a long walk or do yoga. Make it a day of bettering” yourself.
