Brief about the therapy

Colon Hydrotherapy is a procedure which involves flushing the colon with fluids to remove toxins and accumulated waste matter. For people with complaints of chronic constipation, gas, bloating, indigestion, inability to lose weight, you will find that Colon Hydrotherapy is just what you need. When these gastric symptoms persist for a long period of time, some of the undigested food particles can get stuck to the linings of intestines. As they ferment and decay, the toxins from these undigested food particles can enter into the bloodstream and weaken the immune system leading to the development of all sorts of chronic diseases.

How is the treatment performed?

The patient lies on a table, and a small tube is inserted into the rectum. Warm, filtered water is introduced into the colon through the tube.

Water is introduced and then expelled from the colon, carrying waste material with it. This process may be repeated multiple times during a session. Sessions usually last between 45 minutes to an hour.

It is a detailed colon cleansing done with the assistance of a nurse. It is different compared to an enema as an enema only evacuates the very end of the colon while Colon Hydrotherapy clears out the entire large intestine. After the procedure, a Probiotic Enema will be administered in order to replace the bacteria that is lost.
