How do I know if I need a colonic?

Answer a few of the following questions to see if you have healthy bowel movements:

  1. Do you eliminate 20 minutes after each meal?
  2. Is your faecal matter thick as a banana and about 10-12 inches long?
  3. Is you elimination easy and not strained?
  4. Is your faecal matter in one piece and not in little balls?
  5. Is it free of any foul odour?
  6. Is it a light to medium colour?
  7. Are you able to achieve all of this without the use of laxatives or stool softeners?

If you answered NO to even one to the questions then colon therapy may be of great benefit to you.

If you answered YES to ALL of these questions, congratulations! you're doing well by your colon and body functions but just like taking your car in for an oil change- there is nothing wrong with coming in for "maintenance".

What is unique about the equipment?

  • The Aqua Clinic is incredibly gentle: there is regulation of both temperature and pressure during the whole treatment.
  • The equipment does not require electric current for its use; which makes it suitable for EMF-sensitive clients.
  • It uses double filtration for incoming water: carbon and particle filter making sure the water we use on you is as fresh and clean as possible.
  • It is easy to operate and give the therapist the flexibility to add massage and implants to treatment where necessary.
  • Only fully disposable kits are used.

What Will Colonics Do For Your Colon?

Cleanses the Colon: Colonics break down toxic excrement so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Toxins built up over a long period are gently removed in a series of treatments. Your colon can begin to co-operate again as it was intended. In this sense, a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment.

Exercises the Colon Muscles: The build-up of toxins weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristalsis (muscular contraction) by which the colon naturally moves material. Having Colonics is like taking your colon to the gym.

Reshapes the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape because the colon is a muscle and it will enlarge to the build-up of toxins not being released. That in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water, coupled with massage techniques of the colon therapist, help to eliminate waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.

Stimulates Reflex Points in the Colon: The colon is connected to every system and organ in the body by reflex points. The colonic stimulates these points thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way, thus creating overall well-being and health in the body.

Hydrates the Whole Body: Water is absorbed into the body through the colon which increases the volume of blood. The circulation of the blood is increased, resulting in a greater bathing of the cells. This dilutes the toxins and flushes them out; relieving toxemia and uremia; and increasing elimination both through the kidneys, and the skin as well as the bowels. All this generally assists the cardiovascular and circulatory systems to be more efficient.

Replaces digestants and Rebalances the bowel flora: Generally the large bowel is host to numerous colonies of bacteria – there are between 200 and 500 species in total and each colony plays an important part in absorption, vitamin and enzyme production, stool formation and elimination. During a treatment good and bad bacteria are removed, however the colonies of beneficial bacteria can quickly re-establish within a clean environment to promote the equilibrium of bacteria by giving the body an opportunity to restart good nutrition with the growth of fibre-fermenting bacteria. Probiotic supplement s and live foods will be recommended.

Re-educates the owner of the bowel: Colonic irrigation helps restore the healthy gut-brain connection in several ways. Colonics re-establishes the important neural pathway that allows for regular bowel motions…responding to the natural urge that can be compromised in so many people. By visual elimination during colonics positive nutritional and well-being health can be targeted and negativity to diet can literally be washed away as people see how much waste and undigested matter is eliminated. The cathartic power of self-cleansing can resolve negative emotional and physical issues.

Complementary dietary advice will be given during colonic hydrotherapy treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions!

What is Involved?

Your visit will involve the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure. The colonic itself will take about 45 minutes during which time water will be gently introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate the release of stored matter. Your modesty is preserved at all times. Herbal and probiotic implants may be used and you maybe advised beneficial dietary changes to further enhance your treatment.

Will one session completely empty the colon?

One Session of Colon Hydrotherapy will not completely empty the colon. The encrusted material, rather like that of a baked–on lasagne dish, that has accumulated overtime on the walls of the large intestine will possibly take a few sessions to remove, depending upon the colon and diet and lifestyle habits. As the colon is an organ in continuous use it will probably never be empty. As more of the impacted material is released there will be a sensation of water entering higher regions of the colon without the sense of obstruction.

It should be remembered that the objective of colon hydrotherapy should not be an empty colon but rather a well functioning colon!

Does it Hurt?

No. Sometimes the muscles (peristalsis) contract and the contraction of those muscles may feel like cramping or gas but that means the peristalsis is starting to work – it’s a good thing. This is the body's way of letting us know it is working! Most people find this type of therapy very relaxing and relieving. The skill of the therapist and introduction of herbal tinctures and /or massage will help alleviate any discomfort if experienced.

Are there any side effects to colon hydrotherapy?

There are none. Though you may experience a little tiredness and headache as the toxins are removed from your body, but this is a positive outcome and by drinking water and listening to your body by resting you will feel the wonderful benefits.

It is not uncommon to feel lighter and some say they have a sense of clarity. Also, in many cases people feel totally energized. How you will feel is a very individualistic experience, no two people are exactly alike or have the same results. A clean colon lightens the burden on other organ systems that eliminate waste and poisons! Many say they have the best night’s sleep following a Colonic Hydrotherapy session!

Is colon therapy embarrassing?

No, you are completely covered during the entire procedure in a disposable gown and disposable undergarment, resting comfortably on the massage bed. Your dignity and confidentiality is of utmost importance and as such you will find it a very relaxing experience, with your modesty in tact!

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

Many people are misinformed and believe Colon Hydrotherapy can flush out good bacteria, minerals, as well as nutrients out of the system. What many people do not realize is if your colon is not functioning properly because of encrusted accumulation, there is no possible way for your body to create friendly probiotics and flora on its own. Once toxins are removed the beneficial bacteria have a cleaner habitat facilitating their reproduction and multiplication, therefore achieving a positive bacterial balance.

Probiotic supplements and/or “live” foods will be recommended. A Probiotic implant can be offered in addition to treatment to ensure absorption by the body of optimal nutrients in the form of vitamins and minerals from our food supply.

Can I come for treatment whilst having a period?

Absolutely, in fact this is a perfect time for colonics as your body is already eliminating and the benefits will be maximized during this time. Please make sure you have a spare tampon or towel that you can use immediately after the treatment.

Can I return to work or go about my daily business?

Yes, just as you would after having a bowel motion. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure toxins are flushed out through the body and you maintain hydration. It is recommended that you avoid eating heavy food and drinking alcohol, coffee or tea for 48 to 72 hours after the treatment, to get the full benefit of the detoxification process. Listen to your body, eat light, drink water and rest when you can!
