What does the treatment consist of?

The slow introduction of warm, filtered water into the colon under low pressure, via a small tube. When the colon is filled, the water is allowed to flow out through a larger tube, bringing with it any loose debris. This process is carried out a number of times during the treatment, which can last up to one hour. The result is a gentle flushing of the colon, and a loosening of old faecal matter.

Is the treatment painful?

No, it is not painful and should never be.

How much old faecal debris can be stuck in the colon?

3-5 lbs of debris is an average amount that can be lodged in the colon, although up to 25 lbs can be present ( this does not include the transient matter present at any time ).

How many treatments will I need ?

It will take up to 6 treatments to achieve the desired results although people who are seriously ill may need more.

Does this treatment wash out all the good bacteria ?

With the removal of old waste, the good bacteria will actually have a better chance to flourish. Probiotic supplementation may be prescribed for some.

Are there any circumstances in which colonic hydrotherapy is NOT recommended ?

Yes, if the client has the following:

* Severe cardiac disease
* High blood pressure
* Severe anaemia
* Gastrointestinal perforation or haemorrhage
* Cirrhosis
* Carcinoma of the colon or rectum
* Pregnancy
* Abdominal hernia
* Recent colon, rectal or abdominal surgery
* Renal insufficiency
* Severe prostate condition

A qualified colonic hydrotherapist will take a detailed history and should be made aware of any medical conditions in order to make an individual assessment of suitability.
