Colon Hydrotherapy
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe and very effective method of cleansing the colon, the large intestine, of accumulated wastes and toxins without the use of drugs through natural peristalsis. This method of cleansing is done by repeated, gentle flushing with water. Dating back to early Egypt, this deep cleansing permits other organs of elimination, skin, lungs, liver and kidneys to operate more effectively, which provides detoxification of the cells throughout the body with improved nutrient absorption.

What is the Colon?
The colon or large intestine is the end portion of the human digestive tract (food carrying passageway extending from the mouth to the anus. It is approximately 3 to 5 feet long and 2 ½ inches in diameter. Its major functions are to eliminate waste to and to conserve water. There are bacteria living in the colon which synthesize valuable nutrients such as vitamin K and portion of the B complex.
What is the Purpose of Getting a Colonic?
Waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, (impacted feces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms, etc.) poses several problems. First, this material is quite toxic (poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted material impairs the colon’s ability to assimilate minerals and vitamins. Finally, a build up of material on the colon wall inhibits muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements and constipation.
- What will colonics do to the colon?
Specifically, a colonic is used to accomplish the following:
Cleanse the Colon – Toxic material is broken so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Even debris built up over a long period is gently removed. Your colon can begin again to function as it was meant to. - 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 peristaltic activity (muscular contractions) by which the colon naturally moves material.
- 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 water coupled with the massage techniques of the colon therapist’s helps to eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
- Stimulates Reflex Points – every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colonic irrigation stimulates these points, thereby affecting the corresponding body part in a beneficial way (similar to reflexology).
- It Hydrates the Colon – assisting with elimination.
What are the Characteristics of a Healthy, Well Functioning Colon?
Healthy babies, animals and adults not subjected to the refinements of civilization (aboriginal peoples) have bowel movements shortly after each meal is eaten. Assuming there is sufficient fiber and water available to the colon, one characteristic is a bowel movement shortly after a meal is eaten. Once the urge to eliminate is honored by a trip to the restroom, the elimination should be easy and take no more tan 10 seconds. The stool will be long, large in diameter, light brown in color, without offensive odor and should float or sink very slowly. When the toilet is flushed, the stool immediately begins breaking apart by the action of water movement. As incredible as this may sound, it is true and commonly experienced in cultures where people live more naturally.
If Colonics are Good, why haven’t I heard about them before?
Artifacts and records show that people have regularly purified their bodies, including cleansing the colon. Around the turn of the 20th century, the present day colonic machine was developed, providing a significantly improved method of accomplishing colon cleansing. Up to the 1920’s many medical doctors had a colonic machine in their offices and machines were found in hospitals, as well. Articles dealing with colon health frequently appeared in prestigious medical and scientific journals until the 1930’s about the same time modern man began a 50 year love affair with drugs and surgery. These seemed to offer relatively instant relief for body ailments, resulting in purification and prevention techniques becoming less attractive. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in using natural approaches for healing the body, and colonics have rapidly been regaining the respectability they have already earned.
Princess Diana, one of Colon Hydrotherapy’s Greatest Advocates
The princess of Whales knew the importance of cleansing to good health, high energy levels, and looking and feeling her best. Diana credited colonics and the regular use of cleansing enemas for her radiant, glowing complexion and silken hair. Princess Diana is just one of many who swear by colonic irrigation as a cure for virtually all their ills. Princess Diana, who reportedly underwent colonics once a week, quite agrees; “They take,” she quoted as saying, “all the agro (aggravation) out of me.”
