Colonics or Colon Hydrotherapy is generally the cleansing of the large intestine with water. I like to call it bathing as it implies a much nicer and gentler procedure.

colon cleansing colonic colon hydrotherapy digestion This is done by letting approximately 60 litres of water washing the colon during a period of approximately forty-five minutes. As a holistic therapist we do not let more than one litre (maximum) of water into the colon at any given time, as it is very important not to overstretch the colon.

The colon is five to five and one-half feet long. It is important to cleanse all of it. The special equipment used will enable this process. Colonics, unlike enemas, should have no internal pressure and therefore have no discomfort. If you have a lot of gas you can experience slight cramping during the colonics which is usually short lived as the gas leaves the colon.

The colon is stimulated by this method. It is encouraged that those who feel enemas and colonics are the same, have an enema first, then have a colonic and see all you have missed removing from the colon. (A experienced enema user can do very well with an enema, but it is hard to beat a colonics).

A view tube is available for observation and all matter is eliminated into the sewage, there are no smells etc. You do nothing but lie back and relax.

The main difference between a normal colonics and a holistic colon hydrotherapy session is that

the therapist will be with you from the beginning to end, explaining everything to you and attending to your needs during the session.
The therapist will give you a deep belly massage to help eliminate waste from the colon.
As the nerves of the colon respond to the soles of your feet your therapist will also manipulate and stimulate the colon reflexes in your feet during your colonic.
Massage of certain Meridian points also help stimulate detoxification during the treatment.
Your holistic colon hydrotherapist will often (not always) be trained in a variety of alternative healing methods like Iridology, Acupuncture, Massage, Aromatherapy, Nutrition etc.
The therapist will be able to tell you after the session which organs need more support / strengthening, if there is Candida overgrowth or parasites in your system. How well your food is digested and which foods are not digested hence better left from your diet.
Most holistic colon Hydrotherapists will be sensitive enough to see or feel emotional / spiritual issues relating to your digestion and well being during the session.

Colonics are best done in the morning. It is advisable to relax before and after the colonic and it is good to drink some water before and after colonics. Do not eat 2 hours before the Colonic. After the colonic, you may take a detoxification bath and/or drink a green (eg. wheatgrass) juice. The body must be free from digesting solid food to repair and detoxify. It is better to eat early so the body can repair and detoxify while sleeping. Therefore, eat at least three hours before going to bed.

The colonic procedure is not offensive, not painful, and takes approximately one hour. The cost can be between US$40 and US$150. Some clinics give a discount on a series of treatments.

Questions you want to ask to determine the quality of session you will be getting:
