What exactly is a Colon?
The colon or large intestine is at the end of the human digestive tract. It is approximately 5 feet long and 2.5 inches in diameter. The colon’s primary functions are to eliminate waste, conserve water and reabsorb electrolytes and minerals.

Why should I be concerned about my colon?
Our modern lifestyle has caused an increase in congested bowels. The colon/rectal cancer is now the most lethal cancer in the United States. Refined foods, preservatives, plasticizers, pesticides, herbicides, cigarette smoke, alcohol, sugars and antibiotics continuously weaken our digestive and eliminative systems. Add to this list environmental pollution and stress of everyday life and it is easy to see why the population of the modern industrialized world is so full of health problems. When the colon is congested with stagnant waste, dangerous toxins back up in our system and wreak havoc on our tissues and organs. This process of autointoxication (literally, “self-poisoning”) can be linked to nearly every illness.

What are the benefits of the colonics?
Many physicians prescribe colon hydrotherapy for variety of conditions (such as constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel, acne, allergies, atonic (sluggish) or spastic colon, yeast infection, fibromyalgia, joint aches, arthritis - to name just a few). It is beneficial to cleansing and reshaping the colon, exercising the muscles of the colon and hydrating the body. (see More Resources below for additional articles)

What happens during a Colon Hydrotherapy session?          
A session is a comfortable experience for many people. The client lies on a massage table, wearing their upper clothing and special perforated shorts (provided), covered by a towel or a sheet. A small, lubricated, disposable speculum with attached water hose and evacuation tube is inserted into the rectum and is connected to the colonic machine.
The practitioner will use a gentle bathing cycle and then several filling and emptying cycles. A viewing tube displays all of the waste as it leaves the body. Supplementary techniques and therapeutic implants may be used. Regular treatment time is 45 minutes.
