What to Expect . . .
Persons who have never had a colon therapy treatment may be fearful or embarrassed to receive one. This is because they don't know what to expect.
The usual colonic irrigation lasts about 45 minutes. All tubes are disposable. We use a colonic machine with a water filtration system. After gentle insertion of the speculum , it is attached to two plastic tubes. One brings the clean, filtered water into the body and the other carries out the waste, gas, mucus, undigested foods, parasites, yeast, etc. The therapist flushes the colon with warm filtered water and does some abdomonal massage to help loosen the waste. this also helps to move gas out of the system.
The process is an alternating cycle of gently filling the colon with water and releasing. During the session you are covered at all times. As the treatment continues you may see mucus, gas, parasites, new and very old fecal matter that has broken loose from the colon wall pass through the tube. Since this is a closed system, there is no smell or mess. We also massage the abdomen to help loosen fecal matter or to promote peristalsis, and focus on deep relaxed breathing.
Since the colon is 5-6 feet in length and we administer the water very gently most clients need more than one session. It usually takes six to ten sessions before old fecal matter dislodges. As old, unhealthy matter leaves the colon, the opportunity for the growth of important friendly bacteria increases. We often suggest that the client use a supplement of friendly flora in conjunction with the treatment series. We may also recommend other supplements such as fiber, enzymes, or a specific cleansing program to support you in your unique health journey.
Colonics are a gift you give your body, mind and soul. It is a time for deep healing and letting go at whatever level you are ready. It is a sacred process! We respect the body's wisdom and seek to help restore your body to optimal health and wellness, naturally.
