What is the colon?

The colon is also known as the large bow­el or large intes­tine. It is an organ that is part of the diges­tive sys­tem (also called the diges­tive tract) in the human body. It is rough­ly 5 feet long and 3 inch­es in diam­e­ter. The colon con­sists of four parts: ascend­ing colon, trans­verse colon, descend­ing colon and sig­moid colon.

What does the colon do?

Your colon, along with your lungs, liv­er, lym­phat­ic sys­tem, skin, and kid­neys, is designed to accom­plish the essen­tial task of elim­i­nat­ing tox­ins. The colon is the liv­ing area for a host of bac­te­ria. The colon also absorbs water, nutri­ents, pro­teins and cell salts back into the blood stream. A well-func­tion­ing colon is impor­tant for hor­mon­al bal­ance, appetite con­trol, sleep and men­tal processing.

Why is a healthy colon important?

A vari­ety of health prob­lems stem from poor diges­tive health. For exam­ple, stom­ach pains, abdom­i­nal cramps, chron­ic fatigue, con­sti­pa­tion, low ener­gy, headaches and aller­gic reac­tions can be traced back to prob­lems with elim­i­na­tion. When the colon has an accu­mu­la­tion of waste, it can affect all oth­er sys­tems of the body. Var­i­ous ben­e­fi­cial bac­te­r­i­al organ­isms liv­ing with­in the colon and diges­tive tract are impor­tant for prop­er nutri­ent absorp­tion, main­tain­ing pH bal­ance, con­trol­ling hunger and coun­ter­act­ing poten­tial­ly dan­ger­ous bac­te­ria. This is why a well-func­tion­ing colon is so impor­tant for over­all well-being. Stud­ies also show that bow­el move­ments are impor­tant for remov­ing bac­te­ria, heavy met­als and elim­i­nat­ing excess fat­ty acids from the body.

 

 

Colon Hydrotherapy

Q: What is colon hydrother­a­py?
A: Colon hydrother­a­py is a method of using puri­fied water instilled into the colon to allow for evac­u­a­tion of the con­tents of the colon. The pres­sure of the water and the tem­per­a­ture of the water are all safe­ly reg­u­lat­ed through­out the colon hydrother­a­py ses­sion. This tech­nique allows the water to flow gen­tly into the colon and stim­u­late the colon’s nat­ur­al peri­staltic action.

Q: Where did colon hydrother­a­py orig­i­nate?
A: The use of water to cleanse the colon, called “colon lavage,” has been prac­ticed since as ear­ly as 1500 B.C. in ancient Egypt.

Q: Is colon hydrother­a­py painful?
A: An impact­ed colon can cause dis­com­fort and cramp­ing may occur as the colon con­tracts to expel waste. Once the impaction is removed, many find colon hydrother­a­py to be a pleas­ant experience.

Q: How much time is required for a colon hydrother­a­py ses­sion?
A: The first ses­sion will take longer than the fol­low up ses­sions. The first appoint­ment usu­al­ly takes around 75 min­utes. Time on the colon hydrother­a­py unit is around 35–45 minutes.

Q: What should I do before a ses­sion?
A: It is rec­om­mend­ed to refrain from eat­ing at least two hours before your sched­uled appoint­ment. It is a great idea to stay hydrat­ed by drink­ing puri­fied water.

Q: What ben­e­fits might I notice after a colon hydrother­a­py ses­sion?
A: Clients have report­ed decreased aller­gies, asth­ma symp­toms, and joint pain. A colon cleanse can also impact the ner­vous sys­tem pos­i­tive­ly, which is why it might help symp­toms like anx­i­ety and fatigue. Oth­ers have noticed increased ener­gy and feel­ings of well-being.

Q: After a ses­sion, how might I feel?
A: Many peo­ple com­ment on how clean and light they feel, like they just look a bath on the inside.

Q: How many colon hydrother­a­py ses­sions do I need?
A: The num­ber of ses­sions desired will depend on the indi­vid­ual and/or physician’s require­ments. Back to back ses­sions are always rec­om­mend­ed. This means one colon hydrother­a­py ses­sion fol­lowed by a sec­ond ses­sion the next day.

Q: What type of diet should I fol­low after a colon hydrother­a­py ses­sion?
A: It is rec­om­mend­ed that you drink plen­ty of liq­uids (puri­fied water, herbal teas, and juice), eat plen­ty of veg­eta­bles and some fruit. Be sure to chew thor­ough­ly. Reduce con­sump­tion of beef and pork.
