Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic Irrigation) Q&A's
What is a colonic?
A safe, effective method for cleansing the colon of waste material by repeated,
gentle flushing with water.
What is a colon?
Your colon, or large intestine as you may be more familiar with, is an organ
that is approximately 5 feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The colon
functions to eliminate waste and conserve water.
What is the purpose of having a colonic?
Waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time,
(i.e. impacted feces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites,
worms, etc.), may pose several problems. First this material is quite toxic
(poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream,
possibly making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted materials may
impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria- produced
vitamins. And finally, a buildup of material on the colon wall may inhibit muscular action causing
sluggish bowel movements, constipation, and the result of these disorders.
How can I tell if I have toxic material in my colon?
Common signs include: headaches, backaches, constipation, fatigue, bad breath,
body odor, irritability, confusion, skin problems, abdominal gas, bloating,
diarrhea, sciatic pain, and so forth.
What are the signs of a healthy colon and normal
elimination?
1. Having a bowel movement shortly after each meal.
2. Elimination should be easy and take no more than a few
seconds.
3. Stools should be long, large in diameter, light brown in
color, without offensive odor and should float or sink very slowly.
4. When the toilet is flushed, stools should immediately
begin breaking apart by the action of water movement.
What is the difference between an enema and a colonic?
Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum, the lowest 8 to 12 inches of the
colon. Usually, one or two pints of water are used to do that. Colonics
typically consist of a 45 minute session during which approximately 15 gallons
of water are used to gently flush the colon. Through appropriate use of massage,
pressure points, etc., the colon therapist is able to work loose and eliminate
far more toxic waste than any other short-term technique.
Where does the waste material go after it is eliminated
during a colonic session?
The equipment that we use is specially designed for waste to be flushed directly
into the sewer system immediately as it is eliminated from the body.
Exactly what does a colonic do?
Specifically, a colonic is used to accomplish the following:
1. Cleanse the Colon: During colon hydrotherapy, toxic waste
material and debris that has built up over a long period of time is broken down
and eliminated throughout the process of a series of colonic treatments. Once
the impacted waste material has been removed, your colon can again begin to
function as it was intended to.
2. It Exercises the Colon Muscles: The build up of toxic debris weakens the
colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon
improves muscular contractions by which the colon naturally moves material.
3. It Reshapes the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend
to alter its shape which in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the
water, coupled with the massage techniques of the colon therapist helps to
eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally
enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
4. It Stimulates Reflex Points: Every system and organ of the body is connected
to the colon by reflex points colonic stimulates these points, thereby affecting
the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way.
Is a colonic painful?
Colonics are rarely painful. Any discomfort is normally a result of
resistance and tension. A professional colon therapist is skilled at putting you
at ease. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are especially pleased
with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter, clean and clear afterward.
Sometimes during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract suddenly expelling
considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum. This may feel like
cramping or gas, and may create a feeling of urgency to empty the rectum. Such
episodes, if they do occur, are brief and easily tolerated.
How many colonic treatments are needed?
During your first sessions of treatments, a minimum of six colonics will be
needed to begin the elimination of years of toxic waste build up.
Is it embarrassing to have a colonic?
Your colonic procedure is done in a private room with only yourself and your
therapist. If you prefer to be alone for awhile, your therapist will honor
and understand your request. You will be completely covered during the
entire procedure and you can rest assured that there is no odor to be concerned
about. During your first session, you may naturally feel a bit
uncomfortable being in a position that you are not accustomed to being in, as
having a bowel movement has become such a taboo subject in today's society.
However, your therapist is trained in helping you feel at ease and most people
quickly become very comfortable with the procedure.
Can I get a colonic during my menstrual period?
Yes! Many women report additional benefits during this time of month as pressure
and bloating is relieved. Any fluids that are released from the body
during your colonic session are immediately flushed through the drain system.
You are also completely covered during your session to eliminate any
embarrassment.
What should I do to prepare prior to having a colonic?
It is best not to eat anything and to drink lightly two hours before your
session. Having a bowel movement prior to your session is certainly not
essential but if you do feel the need to do so, emptying the rectum with a bowel
movement just prior to the colonic saves time and permits more to be
accomplished.
What can I expect after a colonic?
Most people remark about how great, light and clean that they feel. If your body
is extremely toxic, you may feel a bit fatigued as old toxins that have been
stored throughout your body are now re-circulating into the colon. For
some, the colonic may trigger several subsequent bowel movements for the next
few hours, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency or discomfort. It's
also possible you may feel light-headed or chilled for a few moments following a
colonic.
Are colonics dangerous in any way?
Being an essentially natural process, there is virtually no danger with a
colonic. Our intent is to provide a safe and healthy service so that you do not
have to worry. Cleaning and sterilization of the necessary equipment is done as
normal procedure and clean linen is used for each colonic as well.
Will a colonic make me constipated or give me diarrhea?
The most frequent post-colonic experience is to have a slight delay in bowel
movements and then a resumption of a somewhat larger, easier to move stool.
Sometimes if the colon is weak and sluggish, there may be no bowel movement for
several days following a colonic. However this is not due to the colonic, but
rather to the weakness of the colon, and should be interpreted as an indication
that the colon requires strengthening and healing. Very infrequently, diarrhea or
loose bowels may be experienced. This could be due to the extra water introduced
into the colon or to the stirring up of toxic waste. If this should occur, it is
usually of very short duration. However, since severe diarrhea dehydrates the
body, it must be carefully monitored.
Is there a special kind of water used for colonic
hydrotherapy?
We use highly filtered water, which passes through three separate filters before
being heated to the correct temperature. This kind of water is capable of
absorbing and flushing more toxins out of the colon because of its drawing
effect on solid particles, chemicals and other matter. Tap water is not used
because it already has numerous chemicals and inorganic substances present.
Is it okay to eat after a colonic?
It is recommended that your diet consist of a lot of water and juices as well as
soup broths and puréed soups for twenty-four hours following your colonic.
Raw vegetables should also be avoided for the next three days.
