Colon Detox
A Colon Detox Program With Colonic Irrigation
Colonic irrigation has been used since as early as 1500 BC for colon cleansing. It still seems to be a relatively new and experimental therapy for most people despite being a healthy and effective method for a colon detox.
Colonic irrigation is an internal bath that helps to cleanse the colon of accumulated poisons, gases, faecal matter and mucous deposits. The practitioner will gently pump filtered water into the rectum and this will start to soften and flush away any unwanted build-up of toxins and waste.
Colonic irrigation is extremely effective during any body detox program. When you detox your body you eliminate all toxins from your diet. There will still be a build-up of toxins within the body from before the program but foodstuffs such as brown rice, nuts and pulses all help to break this down. Colonic irrigation is a colon cleanser procedure that will speed up this breakdown process and will actively flush out any waste matter.
The colon hydrotherapy practitioner will ask you to lie on a couch or plinth, with your lower body covered with a towel or sheet. Filtered water at a carefully regulated temperature is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure through the rectum and into the colon. The practitioner will use massage to help the water soften and cleanse the colon of faecal matter and waste, which will be flushed away with the waste water.
The colon is worked on in stages; each time water is pumped in and flushed out until the whole area is complete. The treatment will last less than an hour and the modesty of the client is observed throughout – practitioners are totally aware of the ‘unusual’ circumstances that they place their clients in. It is usual for the practitioner to advise on how many further treatments are required and also which supplements are needed to replace natural bowel fiber and flora.
The after-effects of this colon detox procedure are similar to those of a total body detox program: a sense of well-being, lightness, mental clarity, increased energy, loss of bloated feeling, relief from constipation and clearer, glowing skin.
Colonics may not immediately spring to mind as a complementary or natural colon cleanse therapy – we normally think of massage or aromatherapy – but if you have ever wondered about trying this treatment for a colon detox, now’s the time! It’s painless, it’s different, it makes you feel great and it helps to detox your body.
