This may sound silly but
a healthy colon is the basis of a healthy body. Most of us
don't realise how important a healthy colon is to our
optimal well being. Many doctors used to focus on the
importance of a healthy bowel but have regressed in the last
few years. Colon health should be the primary concern in the
quest for a healthy body. Food is the source of fuel, in
today's lifestyle irregular eating of convenience foods
which are full of toxins additives colourings and other
unnecessary substances, lack of drinking water and stressful
living will hinder the body's natural ability to eliminate
waste efficiently.
Colonic hydrotherapy or
irrigation is a process of removing faecal material from the
colon walls diluting the bacteria and toxic concentrations
from the large intestine. Benefits to the body have direct
implications for our vibrant health and longevity.
Therapeutic effects are improved muscle tone in the colon
which leads to peristaltic action which in turn leads to the
bodies ability to eliminate waste efficiently, furthermore
colonic hydrotherapy may enhance the absorption of
nutrients, whilst minimising the absorption of toxic waste
material.
Colonic hydrotherapy is used to treat many diverse
conditions- headaches, skin problems, me, fatigue depression
and pmt being a few and thus transcends its popular
conception as simply a cure for constipation. It is as
effective for cleaning the colon as your toothbrush is to
maintaining good dental hygiene.
What can you expect
during a colon hydrotherapy session:
In short it's a
relaxing, gentle experience and the highest quality products
and sanitary standards are incorporated.
Filtered temperature
regulated water is introduced into the colon through a
disposable speculum after the waste material of the colon is
softened and loosened it is evacuated through a flexible
plastic hose that connects the speculum to the colon
hydrotherapy device.
At Innerhealth we use a
closed system. There are no offensive smells or mess to
worry about. It is very safe as the water is introduced at
low pressure so there is no danger of bowel perforation. The
treatment usually lasts between 30 to 40 minutes. Your
modesty is preserved at all times.
There are certain contra
indications to colonic including some bowel conditions,
pregnancy and heart problems. A detailed medical history is
taken during the first consultation so necessary information
is known.
Each case is individual
and advice will be given at the first consultation. It
varies from one to a number of treatments spread over a
period of time, after which preventative or maintenance
treatment may be considered.
