The Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy works on the same principle as taking enemas. With a certified, licensed professional to administer the treatment, colon hydrotherapy can effectively remove toxins.

It's better if you seek out a certified, professional hydrotherapist even though you can purchase products to perform the hydrotherapy at home. When you look for colon hydrotherapists, you might look for one who uses FDA approved devices with disposable speculums and tubing – Dr. Group recommends the closed system. Some therapists will perform abdominal massages during the release cycle to help move gas and waste trapped in the colon.

Be sure that you are not at risk for any complications that may result from this type of treatment. Especially, pregnant woman should be checked.

During the colon hydrotherapy session, the therapist will send warm, purified water into your body which will begin to gently cleanse the colon. It may be that your therapist will add herbs or specialized enzymes to the water depending on your symptoms. The warm water entering causes the muscles to expand and contract, encouraging the body to expel any undigested food, water, bacteria, gas and mucus which have built up in the colon. The toxic matter leaves your body through a separate evacuation tube back to the machine. A typical session will cycle water in and out of your body a few times and can last thirty to fifty minutes depending on your reaction to the process.

Further Recommendations

Many colon hydrotherapists will use oxygen cleansers in conjunction with hydrotherapy sessions to maximize the results.

Since colon cleansing can strip beneficial bacteria as well, it is a good idea to take a Probiotic Supplement during and after any cleansing to replenish your body's store of beneficial bacteria.

Bentonite clays and enemas on occasion will help to cleanse the colon.

"Colonic irrigation, oxygen supplements, Bentonite or other organic clays from the earth, and enemas are SAFE and EFFECTIVE when used correctly."
