What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a slow, gentle administration of filtered water into the lower intestine in order to cleanse the entire length of the large intestine all the way to the cecum.
This water can seep into the nooks and crannies of the bowel allowing the water to soften and loosen hardened feces.
Colon hydrotherapy encourages toning and strengthening of the bowel wall, and improves peristalsis. (natural wave-like contractions of the bowel)
Colon hydrotherapy relieves the following conditions as reported by physicians, therapists and recipients:
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Protruding abdomen
- Bad breath
- Body odor
- Over or under weight
- Weight loss
- Shallow complexion
- High blood pressure
- Headaches
- Depression
- Lack of concentration
- Cold hands/feet
- Tender or rigid abdomen
- Lack of sex drive
- Anxiety
- Flatulence
- Nausea
- Lower back pain
Consider putting aside any pre-conceived notions you may have, and open your mind to the enormous potential of Colon Hydrotherapy as a way to maintain, improve, or achieve superior health.
Weekend fasting retreats are held from 5:00 p.m. on Friday through Sunday evenings at the Advanced Health Group.
*Each colon hydrotherapy session lasts 45 minutes and one should allow one hour per office visit. (prescription from your doctor or ours)
A Colon Hydrotherapist’s Blog:
What is Colon Hydrotherapy, more commonly known as colonics? Colon Hydrotherapy gently cleanses the bowels by infusing warm, filtered water into the colon under very low pressure, and under the guidance of a professional colon hydrotherapist, trained technician or nurse.
- Colon hydrotherapy is a procedure that can be used to cleanse the bowel prior to colonoscopy, a life-saving screening that detects pre-cancerous polyps.
- Colon hydrotherapy can jump start weight loss by removing accumulated waste from the intestines
- Colon hydrotherapy can relieve symptoms of constipation, irritable bowel, gas and bloating.
- Colon hydrotherapy can help with flattening the stomach
- Colon hydrotherapy is an essential part of detoxifying and internally cleansing the body
- The Advanced Health Group uses the state of the art, world class HYDRO~SAN PLUS System (closed system) with Disposable Speculums
- With the closed system of colon hydrotherapy, the waste that comes out of the body is only viewed, if desired, but not smelled.
Again, the infusion is done by a professional colon hydrotherapist, trained technician or nurse in a private room in a soothing atmosphere with no discomfort to the patient. Patients lie on a treatment table on their backs and sides for the 45 minute procedure that gently flushes water in and out of the colon prior to colonoscopy or routine cleansing.
With colon hydrotherapy, patients can avoid the inconvenience and often messy preparation of drinking harsh laxatives prior to the colonoscopy procedure. In fact, because it is so unpalatable, many people can’t tolerate drinking the gallon of liquid laxatives required the night before a colonoscopy to cleanse their colon.
Colon hydrotherapy makes the experience of having a colonoscopy or internal cleansing easier, and more acceptable.
