F.A.Q
What is it and how does it work?
Colon Hydrotherapy is referred as to colonic irrigation, colonics, colon therapy, or high enemas. All these are names for colon hydrotherapy equipment, which uses safe filtered, temperature controlled water for inner cleansing. Ideally people receive the treatment as a preventive and detox measure. However some people discover colonics assist in overcoming symptoms of constipation, diarrhoea, gas, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, stress, over processed diet, headaches, migraines, back pain, haemorrhoids, parasites, skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, colitis, arthritis, diverticulosis, depression, intestinal distress, irregularity of bowel movements and allergies.
How can I cleanse my colon?
One of the safest ways is diet, exercise and Colon Hydrotherapy. It is the gentle infusion of filtered, temperature-controlled water, into the colon, by way of a sterile-disposable rectal tube or speculum. Water in –waste out.
How will I feel after the treatment?
Most people remark on how clean and light they feel. Increased energy and feelings of well being are the common responses.
What if I have had recent bowel surgery?
Recent bowel surgery is one of the contraindications for colon cleansing. However I strongly urge making contact so your case can be discussed.
Does it hurt?
An impacted colon can cause discomfort, and cramping may occur as the colon contracts to expel waste. Once the major impaction is removed, many actually find a session pleasant.
How long is a session?
Our treatments take 40mins, but your appointment time is 1 hour.
Your initial appointment is longer so that we can make sure to get the best picture of your overall health and your needs.
Can 2 people come together?
Absolutely! The more the merrier, lol.
Actually having a buddy is a great idea. Whether the person is just coming for support and might like to be present for the process or could also like a colon hydrotherapy session. We do only have one machine however so if you each would like an appointment book those on line one after another. I do have other treatments you can have in the meantime while waiting, just send me a message about interest in either the nuga bed or foot detox. We have a comfortable lounge space for waiting, if privacy during the session is desired.
Can I have a colon cleanse if I am menstruating?
That is absolutely fine unless you feel quite unwell. If you wear a tampon that would be best. If not, and your flow is heavy, it could get a bit messy but doable. You actually can release more waste, if you have a session during your period, as you secrete more magnesium during this time which can loosen and softens the bowels.
