The Colon, or large intestine, is an important part of the digestive system; some five feet in length and 2.5 inches in diameter, situated at the end of the alimentary canal, it completes the digestive process and handles food waste and other bodily waste. It is normally populated by billions of friendly bacteria which assist in detoxifying waste, synthesize certain vitamins, and help us guard against infection. These same bacteria make up 70% of the dry weight of our faecel waste. The colon structure is of smooth muscle and it is broadly divided into three segments.; the caecum and ascending colon into which food waste enters in a fluid state through the ileo-caecum valve; the transverse colon, where water, minerals and vitamins are re-absorbed, and the descending colon, where mucous is secreted to coat the faeces prior to defecation through the rectum and anus.

In a healthy bowel transit, time from eating to defecation is 24 hours or less and bowel movement is at least once daily. In disease, poor digestion, yeast over growth, spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation and diarrhoea are usually accompanied by auto intoxication, literally, "self poisoning" - the reabsorbing of soluble wastes into the blood stream - which places a heavy burden upon the other eliminative organs of the body, the kidneys, the skin and the lungs.

Chronic constipation can lead to further direct complications: diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, fissures, atonocity, spasticity, prolapse, colitis and even bowel cancer as well as chronic toxic conditions in the rest of the body, like the skin (e.g.. acne and eczema) the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver.

Correct function of the colon is necessary for health, for truly, "disease can begin in the colon". It has been said that colon malfunction can lead to 80% of all diseased states.

Colonic Hydrotherapy is more effective than an enema, since the whole colon is treated and water is not purposely retained. It is best used as a complimentary technique to other therapies. By improving elimination, response to dietary, homeopathic, herbal manipulative and other therapies is markedly improved

Poor elimination can lead to many chronic conditions that colonic hydrotherapy can help: constipation, diarrhoea, mucous colitis, colitis, spastic colon, diverticulitis, liver sluggishness, headaches, flatulence, hemorrhoids, skin problems (acne eczema psoriasis), abdominal bloating, allergies and fatigue. It may also be of benefit prior to and following barium enemas and during therapeutic fasting.

Yes. Equipment is disposable or sterilized using hospital approved sterilization solutions which kill all prevalent bacteria, viruses and fungi in minutes. Countless thousands of colonics have been given safely, the water pressure is very low, so there is no danger of bowel perforation, and the water used is pre-filtered.

Unlike regular use of laxatives, colonic hydrotherapy is not habit forming, and in fact improves muscle tone.

Most people quickly experience improved mental clarity after colonic irrigation. With their toxic lead diminished and elimination improved, a greater feeling of well being and lightness is felt.

Also relief from bloating and constipation, toxic headaches, painful hemorrhoids and skin problems. In the longer term, bowel disease risk is also diminished and nutrients are better absorbed leading to improved all round health.
