Frequently Asked Questions about Colonic

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is not painful - just a steady gentle flow of water in and out of the Colon. Discomfort indicates that the colon is not healthy and has inflammation. There are medical contraindications for colonic under certain conditions. However, if the colon is healthy the procedure is completely painless and comfortable. The most frequent reasons for discomfort during colon hydrotherapy are pre-existing conditions such as irritation or inflammation in the intestins and/or a lot of gas. Also you should have colonic only on an empty stomach for a comfortable experience.

Having colonic on a full stomach can create too much pressure, discomfort and nausea and the water cannot get deep enough for a thorough cleanse.

Sometimes people experience light cramps but we help to eliminate them putting hot infrared belt on the belly.

Will one colonic session completely empty the colon?

Not really. Many of us have 10 or more pounds of impacted feces and more importantly a lot of hardening mucus that prevents from assimilation of nutrients. Many people are not vegan and eat mucous forming  food. This is hardened, rubbery material is very difficult to break or eliminate.

The number of sessions needed depends on the condition of the colon.

Does colon therapy wash away all bacteria, even the good?

If your bowel is toxic you have little or no good intestinal flora to begin with. As in gardening, if you don't prepare the soil, fertilize the ground, and remove weeds useful plants will not grow. Bad pathogenic bacteria compete with good freandly symbiotic bacteria in the colon. we have to make the conditions favorable there for friendly bacteria to survive and populate the colon. In the dirty toxic colon only harmful bacteria can thrive and reproduce itself. Your therapist will recommend the best on the market intestinal flora to replenish after your colon is cleansed.

Is the procedure safe and sanitary?

We use only dispozable rectal nozzle, and disposable sheets. We wash all towels with Chlorax after each client. You make contact only with disposable materials during the procedure and the therapist wears gloves.

Can one become dependent on Colon Cleansing?

Just the opposite. We helped thousands of people eliminate blockages and constipation. Colon Hydrotherapy retrains the muscles of the bowel to regain strength. It's like a gym for the colon. After the bowel has regained its strength, it works better on its own.

Will laxative, enemas or herbal cleansing produce the same result?

An enema can reach only about couple of feet of the colon. During Colonic the water goes all the way through 5 feet of the colon to the ileocecal valve (where the small and large intestine meet).During 1 hour of Colon Hydrotherapy 20 gallons of water go through your colon to slowly dissolve accumulated toxic material.

Laxatives irritate the colon which loses the ability to make its own peristaltic movement after months of repeated use of laxatives thus creating a dependency on laxatives.

Even though herbal laxatives are better than synthetic cleansing colon with herbal remedies is not good enough. Can you imagine cleaning your house or washing the dishes or car or cloth or brushing your teeth without water? You can wipe it with dry rugs but the cleansing is incomplete. Everybody consider water like the best cleansing substance on our planet.

However, combining herbal cleansing remedy with colon hydrotherapy is the most effective approach to cleanse, rejuvenate and feel wonderful! Moreover, when you are taking herbs and supplements to detoxify your body, you can become overloaded with released toxins and experience a cleansing reaction. That's why we strongly recommend to do colonics during any cleansing and detox programs.
