What
will happen?
The
treatment lasts approximately 1 hour and begins with the taking of your case
history followed by an explanation of the procedure.
The
colonic itself lasts approx 40 minutes. During this time warm purified water is
gently introduced into the colon via the rectum. Using special massage
techniques the water begins to soften the stored matter and cleans the colon of
faecal mater and old deposits, which are flushed away. Your modesty is preserved
at all times. Herbal and probiotic implants may be used and you may be advised
to make beneficial dietary changes to further enhance your treatment. No fasting
or special measures are needed prior to treatment but colon-cleansing programmes
may be advised between sessions.
How
many treatments are needed?
This
depends upon the individual case and advice will be given at the first
consultation.
This may vary from one treatment to a number spread out over a period of time,
after which preventative or maintenance treatment may be continued.
Is
It Safe?
Yes.
The water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure, so there is no danger
of bowel perforation. All equipment is either disposable or disinfected using
hospital-approved disinfecting solutions, which kill all viruses, bacteria and
fungi.
Colonic
hydrotherapy, unlike the use of laxatives, is not habit forming and actually
improves the tone of the colon.
How
Will I Feel After the Treatment?
As
well as generally having a greater sense of cleanliness, most people feel
energised, lighter, thinner and amazingly relaxed. There is no problem with
returning to work immediately after treatment.
