Frequently Asked Questions

What is the colon?
The colon, or large intestine, comprises the last 5-51/2 feet of the digestive tract. Its
primary function is the removal of digestive and cellular wastes from the body, although
some nutrients and water are absorbed through the colon wall. The bowel transit time
from the moment a person eats until the waste matter is excreted from the colon can be
anywhere from 12-24 hours in a healthy person, depending on water intake and type of
foods consumed.
Is colon hydrotherapy completely safe?
Yes, using FDA approved equipment, individual disposables that are used once and then
thrown away, and sterile procedure, there is no danger of contamination. In fact
treatments are much safer than the common enema.
Should I see my doctor before my first session?
If you have a concern about your health or the appropriateness of colon hydrotherapy,
you should consult your doctor, but a medical examination is not required.
Why should someone get a colonic?
The colon is designed to completely and naturally remove digestive and cellular wastes
from the body. Unfortunately, the modern diet of cooked, processed and devitalized
foods combined with low water intake, sedentary lifestyles and stress has contributed to
an epidemic of digestive disorders. These include constipation, diarrhea, gas and
bloating, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, spastic colon, and irritable bowel syndrome, to
name a few. It is not uncommon to hear of bowel transit times of anywhere from 3
days to 2 week! The build up of waste matter within the colon can lead to
autointoxication and overgrowth of yeast (candida albicans)), prevent proper absorption
of the nutrients through the intestinal wall, and hinder the muscular movement of the
colon, leading to sluggish peristalsis and chronic constipation. A colonic can help loosen
up and remove impacted waste matter from the colon as well as improve and even
restore the healthy muscular action of the colon. It is not uncommon for clients to
notice an improvement in energy levels and bowel function with their first session.
What will colonics do for the colon?
Specifically, a colonic is used to accomplish the following:
1. Cleanse the colon: Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body
or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Even debris built up over a long period is gently,
but surely removed in the process of a series of treatments. Once impacted material is
removed, your colon can begin again to co-operate as it was intended to. In this very
real sense a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment.
2. It Exercises the Colon Muscles: The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and
impairs its functioning. The gentle filing and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic
(muscular contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.
3. It Reshapes the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter
its shape that in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water, coupled by
the massage techniques of the colon therapist helps to eliminate bulging pockets of
waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural
state.
4.It Stimulates Reflex Points: Every system and organ of the body is connected to the
colon by reflex points colonics stimulate these points, thereby affecting the
corresponding body parts in a beneficial way.
Are there any additional benefits I might expect from a colonic?
Yes, there are several. Working with a skilled therapist a colonic can be a truly
enlightening educational process. You will learn to expand your awareness of your
body's functioning by including signals from your abdomen, your skin, your face and
even from that most taboo of natural product, your eliminations. You will find that you
can spot the beginnings of developing conditions through clues from these body regions
and functions before they become serious. Also, the solar plexus is the emotional center
of the body and the transverse colon passes right through it. If an emotional event is left
uncompleted, it often results in physical tension being stored in the solar plexus, which
affects all organs of the area, including the colon. This ongoing tightening of the colon
muscle results in diminished movement of fecal material through the colon, which is
experienced as constipation. Not only do colonics alleviate the constipation, they can
assist you in creating a fully holistic view of your body's functioning, leading to a better
quality of life.
What preparation is required before getting a colonic?
It is recommended that you refrain from eating or drinking for two hour prior to your
session. We will be massaging your abdomen during the procedure and do not want you
to have a full stomach or bladder.
Should I fast before my colonic?
It is not necessary to fast before a colonic. However, many people find it beneficial to
have colonics before, during, and after a fast (depending on its length) to assist in the
removal of toxins from the body.
How many colonics will I need and how often should I get them?
The number of treatments varies with each individual and his/her condition. Often,
waste is so hard and deeply lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to
sufficiently soften and loosen it. Colonics also stimulate the liver, kidney and lymph
system to dump toxins. An initial series of 3 colonics spaced 2 or 3 days apart, followed
by maintenance schedule of at least one session every 1-3 months, is recommended.
Do treatments hurt?
No, in fact, with the advanced equipment and training of our certified colon hydro
therapists, treatments are refreshing and relaxing.
How long does a treatment take?
Between 30 and 45 minutes, but you should plan for an hour stay.
Can I be constipated even if I have 1,2,or 3 bowel movements a day?
Yes, Accumulated wastes, mucous and gas in the colon may inhibit its natural peristaltic
action, resulting in incomplete-though frequent-bowel movements. This backup of toxic
waste can cause a wide range of problems in the digestive tract and throughout the
entire body.
Is colon hydrotherapy habit-forming?
No, the purpose of cleansing the colon is to allow it to relax and rejuvenate, and to
promote better peristalsis. The colon cannot heal when it is constantly working to get rid
of accumulated wastes, gases, and poisons. Most clients report that they are much more
'regular' after completing a few colon hydrotherapy sessions.
Does having a menstrual period at the time of my cleanse have an effect on the
treatment?
In fact, it's usually a good time to receive a treatment, since your body is already
cleansing. Your menstrual flow will not interfere with the success of the treatment.
Flushing the colon will also reduce abdominal pressure associated with menstrual cycles.
Will colon hydrotherapy damage normal flora?
Accumulation of encrusted feces in the colon makes it impossible for the glands to
produce the necessary intestinal flora, resulting in increased constipation. Cleansing the
colon helps bring the acid-alkaline ratio back into balance, allowing friendly bacteria to
thrive, while inhibiting disease-causing organisms.
What can I expect afterwards?
Most likely, you'll feel great! Probably you will feel lighter and enjoy a sense of
well-being. Not infrequently, someone having their first colonic will remark that it was
one of the most wonderful experiences of their life. As soon as the colonic is finished
you can carry on with your daily routine. For some, the colonic may trigger several
subsequent bowel movements for the next few hours, but there won't be ant
uncontrollable urgency or discomfort. It's also possible you may feel lightheaded or
chilled for a few moments following a colonic.
