What is colon hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, clean, odor-free method of removing waste from the large intestine, without the use of drugs or chemicals. During a forty-five minute session a gentle infusion of pure, filtered and temperature-regulated water is introduced into the colon, loosening and breaking down waste for easy evacuation. When the client feels ready to release, the body pushes the water back out, evacuating waste and stimulating the body’s natural peristalsis while the client lies on the therapy table. There is no suction involved, only a gentle process of filling with water and releasing that water again. While the body is releasing, the colon hydrotherapist will use her hands to work on the abdominal wall, helping to release fecal matter from the walls of the colon. This process of slowly filling with water and releasing that water is repeated several times during a therapeutic session.

What are the Benefits?

Removing waste from the inside of your body provides the opportunity for overall optimal health. 
While health professionals tell us that a healthy person should have three bowel movements a day, one for every meal we eat, the average American has only one bowel movement per day. In other words, every time we eat we should also be eliminating waste if our digestion is functioning properly.
The primary functions of the colon are to absorb fluids, extract the last nutrients out of our food and release and pass out of our bodies the fecal matter and toxins that are harmful. The colon is not meant to store waste inside of our bodies for weeks or months or years. 
When ingested substances are allowed to sit, decay and become toxic, it is understandable that these toxins can damage the intestinal walls and surrounding organs, diminish the optimal absorption of nutrients, harm nerves and glands, and enter and poison the blood stream. Toxicity in the body is widely known to lead to all kinds of disease and various symptoms including: headaches, poor circulation, anxiety, depression, skin issues, digestive disorders, auto-immune conditions, arthritis, fatigue, allergies, inflammation, and cancer.
While we absorb the majority of our nutrition through the walls of our small intestine, for many of us those walls are crowded because our colons are backed up with fecal matter. This means that those nutrients are trying to get down a crowded hallway and we are unable to absorb much of the healthy nutrition that we are taking in. Cleaning out the colon makes it possible for the small intestine to shift some of its contents into the colon for elimination and allow for better absorption of nutrition.
