What is the colon
The colon (also known as the large intestine or bowel) is one of the most important organs in your body and carries out many actions which are essential for keeping us healthy. It’s functions include:
- the completion of the digestive process
- absorption of water, minerals and vitamins into the blood stream,
- ridding the body of waste materials.
Sometimes a combination of poor diet, stress and lifestyle can make the colon lose its ability to function properly, therefore making it harder for the body to eliminate harmful toxins, which can then have an adverse effect on the body and mind.
History and Facts Relating to Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy also known as colon lavage, colon irrigation, colon cleanse, complete and enhanced enema, bowel or colon wash was first recorded in the Egyptian Ebers Pyrus in 1500 BC!Many famous and distinguished physicians of the past have recognized the benefits and/or used colon hydrotherapy to the benefits of their patients! Some of these you may have heard of, Hypocrites (4th & 5th century BC), Galen (2nd century AD).Physician, James A Wiltsie MD said, “as long as we continue to assume that the colon will take care of itself, just that long we will remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body”. The liver is the main detoxification organ in the body. Blood that is received from the stomach and intestine goes straight to the liver to be cleansed of any toxins (poisons). If the liver is overloaded with too many toxins it is unable to detoxify adequately resulting in some toxins freely passing through the liver to other organs within the body via and including the heart. Colon hydrotherapy can help clean and dilute these toxins reducing the burden on the liver and rejuvenating the immune system, resulting in internal balance and overall health!There have been many misconceptions and misunderstandings about colon hydrotherapy over the years, mostly due to the practice being offered by the unskilled individual with limited knowledge of the body and it’s many functions. If offered correctly (by registered and professionally trained therapists like us) colon hydrotherapy can offer each person very individual results.

What’s involved?
Prior to your first appointment you will receive a consultation form via email, it is important you complete this as soon as possible after making your appointment so your therapist can ensure they plan the best treatment for you. You will also receive information via email of how to prepare for your treatment and aftercare recommendations.
When you arrive at the salon we will show you around so you are familiar with your surroundings; then we will ask you to go to the toilet to empty your bladder and change so you are ready for your treatment where your dignity is maintained at all times. You will then get comfortable on the treatment bed, ready for your hydrotherapy session. A small disposable tube is inserted into the first part of the rectum while you are laid on your side, this does not hurt! Body temperature, soothing water is infused into the colon to the individuals comfort (you are in complete control) your therapist may give you an abdominal massage. Massage has a calming effect on the colon which will increase the effectiveness of peristalsis (the muscular action of the colon to push waste through) The water is then free to be naturally expelled along with any waste from your colon into the waste tube directly into a waste pipe, where it goes directly to the sewage system as it does when you use the toilet = no mess!! No odour!!
