What to Know About Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy has been at the heart of our practice for over 40 years. Here is a clear, simple overview of what it is and what to expect.

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation or simply a colonic, is a session in which warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the colon and then released. The process is repeated several times during a session.

What Happens During a Session?

You lie comfortably on a table, covered with a blanket. Disposable, single-use tubing is opened in front of you, and the equipment is a sealed, closed system, so there is no mess or odor. Only the volume of water that feels comfortable for you is used, and you let your therapist know when you feel full. A viewing tube lets you see what is being released, and your therapist is there to answer questions throughout.

What Colon Hydrotherapy Does

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

Is Colon Hydrotherapy Right for You?

Colon hydrotherapy is not right for everyone. Please consult your healthcare provider before your first session, and share your health history with your therapist beforehand.
