What is colonic irrigation?

Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is the therapeutic use of filtered water at body temperature, delivered through a speculum at very low pressure, with the objective of cleansing the colon walls and diluting the bacterial toxin concentration in the large intestine. The colon is about 5ft long and 2.5in in diameter.

What system do we use?

We use the closed system, the device being the latest available in technology. It incorporates a water filtration system, being an ultraviolet light steriliser, two additional filters, one being carbon. We have added a pre-heater water tank for increased safety.

We use only disposable colonic speculum packs. We take absolutely no chances with our clients. So we have not, and will never consider metal or other re-usables.

What to expect during a typical visit?

Before the colon cleansing session, you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire, about your past health problems, surgical or other medical interventions, as well as any medications you are taking. The colonic irrigation session will proceed only if there are no contraindications.

All being well, we will then ask you to go to the en-suite rest room, undress from the waist down and cover yourself up with a large towel.

The colon hydrotherapy speculum allows for the attachment of a water line and waste line. The water line transports water into the rectum and colon. The waste line allows for the drainage of discharging waste directly into the sewers. Discharging waste can be viewed through the waste line, as well as the viewing window of the colon hydrotherapy the machine.

During a colonic irrigation session, we apply gentle abdominal massage to help loosen faecal matter. The colonic irrigation procedure is without soiling or odour.

The colonic irrigation procedure lasts 45 minutes, but you should allow altogether an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half for form filling and visiting the rest room after the procedure.

If in doubt about having colon hydrotherapy, please consult your family doctor.

How many sessions?

The optimum number of colonic irrigation sessions will depend upon your individual needs. Soaking starts off the loosening process of impacted waste, and this beneficial aspect is lost with colonic irrigation sessions too widely spaced in time.

Those with chronic conditions may need more frequent colon hydrotherapy sessions until regularity is achieved. Based upon experience, we will advise on what to do next. Sometimes the slightest diet change can improve regularity.

Do you expect to lose weight after your colonic?

Part of the body’s natural defence against toxins is to produce fat to dilute and isolate them. Fat levels increase with toxicity, making toxin removal difficult. Hence the necessity of enrolling for our Clinical Weight Loss programme in tandem with colonic irrigation.

On the day before your colon hydrotherapy treatment

Before proceeding, please ensure that lemon juice is not contraindicated with any medication or supplement you take.

Slice up one organic lemon and liquidise complete with skin and pips with 500ml of filtered water. Sieve to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp. Add a litre of water. Start drinking one glass first thing in the morning, and thereafter at hourly intervals until all has been consumed. Use a straw to protect your teeth. It is recommended to have porridge for breakfast. And for lunch and supper, a large salad with protein and a small amount of carbohydrate

After your colonic hydrotherapy treatment, please abstain from alcohol and rich and spicy foods for at least 24 hours.
