WHAT IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
COLON HYDROTHERAPY IS A HOLISTIC PROCEDURE THAT INVOLVES THE INTRODUCTION OF PURIFIED, WARM WATER GENTLY INTO THE LARGE INTESTINE OR COLON FOR INTERNAL CLEANSING.
WHERE IS THE COLON?
THE COLON IS LOCATED AT THE END PORTION OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. IT RANGES ABOUT 5 1/2 TO 6 FEET IN LENGTH. ITS MAIN JOB IS TO CONSERVE WATER IN THE BODY AND ELIMINATE WASTE.
IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY SAFE?
ABSOLUTELY. EACH CLIENT RECEIVES THEIR OWN DISPOSABLE SPECULUM FOR DISPOSAL AFTER EACH USE. THE WATER IS WARM AND PURIFIED TO MATCH YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE. THE CLIENT’S DIGNITY IS PRESERVED AND HONORED BY THE USE OF A CLEANAND PRIVATE ROOM.
HOW LONG IS A SESSION?
A SESSION IS 40,60 AND 80MINUTES IN LENGTH. SOME PEOPLE EVEN SCHEDULETREATMENTS WHILE ON THEIR LUNCH BREAK. IF YOU COME INTO THE CENTER WITH THE REQUIRED PAPERWORK COMPLETED, THE ENTIRE PROCESS CAN BE COMPLETED IN ONE HOUR WITH YOU WALKING OUT THE DOOR.
WILL COLON HYDROTHERAPY DEPLETE MY ELECTROLYTES?
NO. YOU LOSE VERY LITTLE ELECTROLYTES DURING A COLONIC. YOU CAN REPLENISH YOUR ELECTROLYTES WITH ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDOUS, AND ANY OTHER GOOD PROBIOTIC. YOU CAN PURCHASE ACIDOPHILUS AND BIFIDOUS AT YOUR LOCAL HEALTH FOOD STORE OR YOU CAN PURCHASE OUR FULL STRENGTH PROBIOTIC FROM THE NILE WELLNESS CENTER.
IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
NO. THE PROCEDURE IS VERY RELAXING AND CALMING. CLIENTS SOMETIME ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES WITH IPODS, CDS, CROSSWORD PUZZLES OR BOOKS. THE WATER IS VERY WARM SO IT COMPLIMENTS THE BODY TEMPERATURE. THE MOST ANYONE WILL FEEL IS THE NATURAL URGE TO HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT. THERE IS RELAXING MUSIC AND A GREAT OVERALL ATMOSPHERE FOR CALM AND SERENITY.
HOW MUCH OF THE COLON IS CLEANSED DURING A TREATMENT?
IT IS POSSIBLE TO CLEANSE THE FULL LENGTH OF THE COLON DURING A TREATMENT. IT DEPENDS ON THE TOXICITY LEVEL OF THE CLIENT.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
THIS AGAIN DEPENDS ON THE TOXICITY LEVEL. SOME PEOPLE NEED ONLY 3, WHEREAS AN AVID MEAT EATER MAY NEED 10 TO 12. A CERTIFIED THERAPIST WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS. MOST OF US HAVE BEEN TOXIC FOR A LONG TIME, SO IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO REMOVE THE WASTE AND POISON FROM THE SYSTEM.
IS IT OKAY TO HAVE A TREATMENT DURING MENSTRUAL PERIOD?
YES. IN FACT, IT IS A GREAT TIME TO HAVE A TREATMENT SINCE THE BODY IS ALREADY CLEANSING. YOUR FLOW WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE TREATMENT.IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR A TAMPON HOWEVER.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONTAMINATION FROM PRIOR USE OF THE COLON HYDROTHERAPY EQUIPMENT?
NO. MODERN COLON HYDROTHERAPY EQUIPMENT UTILIZE PRE-STERILIZED, DISPOSABLE HOSES AND SPECULUMS. THESE DISPOSABLES ARE USED ONLY ONCE DURING A SINGLE THERAPY SESSION.
WHO NEEDS A COLONIC?
EVERYONE FROM THE MOST AVID MEAT EATER TO THE STRICTEST VEGETARIAN. IT IS BELIEVED THAT A LOT OF ACCUMULATED WASTE IN OUR COLON STEMS FROM PROCESSED FOODS AND POLLUTED AIR THAT WE HAVE CONSUMED THROUGH OUT THE YEARS, THEREBY PRODUCING A STICKY WASTE IN OUR LARGE INTESTINE THAT RESULTS FROM FLUIDS BEING ABSORBED DURING THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS.
SHOULD I SEE MY DOCTOR BEFORE MY SESSION?
IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND OR COLON, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A DOCTOR. IF YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH DIVERTICULITIS, ULCERATIVE COLITIS, CROHN’S DISEASE, SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS, RECTAL OR INTESTINAL TUMORS, YOU WOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR COLON HYDROTHERAPY UNLESS YOU HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DOCTOR. PROFESSIONALLY ADMINISTERED COLON HYDROTHERAPY IS SAFE AND A MEDICAL EXAMINATION SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FIRST TREATMENT?
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER A DAY BEFORE THE TREATMENT AND REFRAIN FROM EATING BEFORE THE CLEANSE. THE WATER WILL HELP HYDRATE THE COLON FOR BETTER ELIMINATION. TRY TO MAINTAIN A GREAT SPIRIT AND GOOD ATTITUDE.
WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE AFTER THE CLEANSE?
MOST PEOPLE FEEL A SENSE OF CALM AND A LOT OF ENERGY. SOME CLIENTS EXPERIENCE A SENSE OF SADNESS AND TIREDNESS. THIS IS DUE TO THE TOXINS IN THE SYSTEM THAT HAVE BEEN AWAKENED. DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER AND NATURAL JUICES USUALLY HELPS.
CAN I CONTINUE MY REGULAR ACTIVITIES AFTER A CLEANSE?
ABSOLUTELY.YOU CAN WORK JUST AS YOU WOULD AFTER A REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENT.
WHEN SHOULD I GET STARTED?
NOW. THE SOONER THE BETTER. IT IS AMAZING HOW LIGHT YOU WILL FEEL AFTER THE PROCEDURE. YOU NEED DEDICATION AND GOOD EATING AND EXERCISE HABITS ALONG WITH A MONTHLY CLEANSE OR CLEANSES TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COLON.
