What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. By introducing filtered and temperature-regulated water into the colon, waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through normal peristalsis.
Colon hydrotherapy is best used in combination with an adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. The colon has been referred to as “the sewer system of the body.” It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about and most of us don’t until our physical, mental, or spiritual health becomes compromised.
Our “Toxin Removal System”
Colon hydrotherapy improves the function of all organs of the body resulting in more energy and vitality. Normally, our organs are able to dump toxins into the bowel instead of holding them; however, when the colon is congested, the other elimination channels (liver, kidney, lymph, lungs, blood, skin, etc.) must retain a larger part of the wastes.
Colon irrigation not only removes impaction, parasites, intestinal gas and cellular debris, but it cleanse and rejuvenates that portion of the immune system that resides in the intestinal tract.
Colon irrigation provides external drainage from the rectum and internal drainage via the lymphatic system. The body is then able to release accumulated toxins and assimilate nutrition. Regeneration is possible because assimilation and elimination are brought back into balance, and the gentle movement of water exercises the peristaltic muscles resulting in increased colon efficiency.
Eating soft foods during a colon cleanse program is very important because the body needs to use its energy for regeneration instead of digestion. Also, much of the body has been hungry due to lack of assimilation, and soft foods will more easily supply the body with the nutrients of which it has been deprived.
