What is Colon Hydrotherapy?

The body has miraculous powers to cleanse itself. Unfortunately much of what we consume in the western world has limited nutritional value. Numerous chemicals and toxins are introduced into the environment everyday and find their way into our bodies through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.

The healthy transit time of food through our bodies is less than 24 hours, but on average now in the UK it is 60 hours for men and 70 hours for women. It is reported that the United Kingdom is the most constipated nation in the world and one in three people consulting G.P’s have a bowel problem!

Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucas and toxic substances from the colon. However, colon hydrotherapy can do much more than simply cleanse the colon, additional benefits can include increased energy levels, improved circulation, clearer skin and eyes, better mental clarity, weight normalising and relief from bloating and heaviness. Also, removing wastes helps the bowel muscle to restore healthy horizontal and vertical mobility and promotes better peristaltic contractions (muscle movement), this in turn promotes better efficiency at eliminating our waste and reduces pressure on connective tissue and helps better positioning of the internal organs.

What Causes The Problems?

The colon is approximately 5 feet long and 2 ½ inches in diameter. Its major function is to eliminate wastes, as well as protecting us from infection and disease. In a normal functioning colon, all this is achieved with the help of billions of friendly bacteria which inhabit the colon. However, the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem can very easily become unbalanced due to factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, smoking and exposure to toxic substances. As a result our bodies can become overwhelmed with toxicity which can cause symptoms including constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, gas or bloating, toxic headaches, bad breath, body odour, haemorrhoids, food allergies, acne, fatigue, irritability, PMT, candida, low energy levels, and many more...
