Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle treatment, which involves the slow introduction of warm, filtered water into the colon via the rectum. The water is introduced at a very low pressure, provided by gravity only, so there is no danger of bowel perforation. The water, combined with gentle abdominal massage, helps to soften faecal matter and hardened deposits so that they can be expelled and piped away with the waste water.

The treatment is completely hygienic as all of our equipment is disposable. Also rest assured that your modesty is preserved at all times.

Colon Hydrotherapy is not only about cleansing the colon as it can also help with the rehabilitation of this incredible organ. To some extent powerful laxatives can clear the colon but long term use of them can result in problems with the colon's function. Colon Hydrotherapy on the other hand is non habit forming and is actually aimed at improving the function and shape of the colon by encouraging it to do what it does best in a gentle way.

How many treatments?

This really depends on the client, their health, the state of their colon and the condition being treated. Anything from one or two treatments to a course of a few treatments may be recommended over a period of time and then treatments may be continued afterwards for maintenance, depending on the client’s needs.

The treatment

The first appointment includes a full consultation and normally lasts about an hour and a half. The treatment itself takes around 30 - 45 minutes depending on the person. There is time for you to ask questions and the therapist will explain the treatment to you. There is nothing special you need to do before your treatment except to eat lightly if your appointment is close to a meal time. Avoiding fizzy drinks and keeping yourself hydrated is also helpful. Although most people continue their day as normal after their treatment it is worth knowing in advance that it is not advisable to take part in any strenuous exercise following your treatment. It makes a nice excuse for taking it easy for an afternoon/evening.

Who can benefit?

Poor elimination and the build up of waste may lead to toxicity in the bowel. By decreasing toxicity you can help relieve an array of problems if they have been partly of solely caused by this build up of waste matter and toxins. The aim of colon hydrotherapy is to reduce toxicity in the bowel and many people experience improved mental and physical wellbeing following treatment.
