Can I have a colonic if I am having a period?
You can have a colonic during your period, please remove your sanitary products when you arrive at the salon in order to have the treatment. Please make sure that you have a spare tampon or towel that you can use immediately after the treatment.

Does it hurt?
Colon hydrotherapy does not hurt. It is comfortable, therapeutic and a relaxing experience. The biggest concern from new clients is usually the thought of the tube being inserted, but please let me reassure you that this is not painful and your dignity is maintained at all times. The tube is small and fully lubricated and is only placed within the first part of the rectum. Many people will have passed much bigger motions on the toilet than the size of the tube and don’t realise the tube is in place before being asked to lay on their back ready for the treatment
How clean is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is very clean; the whole treatment area, colonic machine and toilet facilities are disinfected following each client. The tubing and speculum used are all single use and is disposed after each client, however we try to do our bit for the environment by regularly planting wildflower seeds.
Are you a registered Colon Hydrotherapist?
Yes!! You can find your therapists details on the IACT(international association for colon hydrotherapist) register. We are also a member of RICTAT which is an international association and register for Colon Hydrotherapists.
Will my visit be confidential?
Yes of course! We want all our clients to know your treatment and information is stored safely and never discussed with anyone. Your colon hydrotherapist is professional and takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy safe?
Yes! We are RICTAT trained and regulated to ensure clients are in safe hands. The water used is filtered, body temperature and pressure controlled by your therapist very carefully during your treatment. You are in control at all times.
How many treatments of Colon Hydrotherapy should I have?
This is entirely recommended on an individual basis, however it is likely you may need two to the pre treatments in close succession to achieve the best results. Your therapist will discuss this with you during your appointment. We may also recommend additions to further enhance your treatment such as herbal infusion, coffee enema or a probiotic implant.
Will I lose weight from Colon Hydrotherapy?
This is a really popular question asked by many clients; it has been said that people may have a slight decrease in their weight when they’ve had a colonic. During a colon hydrotherapy treatment you lose waste, not fat. Colon Hydrotherapy is part of an approach to a healthy lifestyle and is not a weight loss tool when used in isolation.
How will I feel after my Colon Hydrotherapy Treatment?
You will be able to carry on with your day to day itinerary as normal. Individuals can feel like they have a high level of energy after their session, whereas some individuals have be known to feel tired, almost as if completely relaxed after their treatment. It is recommended you listen to your body following your treatment, your therapist will make individualised recommendations during your treatment.
How long will it take?
The treatment takes up to 45 minutes; with changing time, you’ll need to allow 1hr 15mins.
Can I eat before my colon session?
-
Yes! It is recommended that you consume only light foods that won’t cause any upset to your bowel and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.
- Avoid all animal protein, alcohol and excessive dairy produce, also refined carbohydrates including sugar and be bread for at least 24 hours.
