Juice Cleansing and Colon Hydrotherapy: What to Know
What juice cleansing is, what colon hydrotherapy does, and why to talk with your healthcare provider before starting either.
Juice cleansing and colon hydrotherapy often come up in the same conversation. Here is a simple overview of what each one is, what colon hydrotherapy does, and why to talk with your healthcare provider before starting either.
What Is Juice Cleansing?
Juice cleansing is a short period of drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices, usually in place of regular meals. Some people choose it as a dietary practice for a few days at a time. How long a cleanse lasts and which juices are included vary from person to person.
What Colon Hydrotherapy Does
Colon hydrotherapy, also called a colonic, is a session in which filtered, temperature-controlled water is gently introduced into the colon and then released, using a sealed, closed system with disposable, single-use tubing. Colon hydrotherapy:
- Supports hydration of the colon
- Promotes the loosening and elimination of waste matter from the colon
- Assists in elimination through natural peristalsis in the colon
- Helps with issues of occasional constipation
Talk with Your Healthcare Provider
Juice cleansing is not right for everyone, and neither is colon hydrotherapy. Please consult your healthcare provider before starting a juice cleanse or booking a session, and share your health history with your therapist beforehand.
