Colon hydrotherapy gently massages and flushes the colon with water. Colon hydrotherapy is also a form of internal colon and abdominal massage which helps to release tension and stress from the tummy region with direct correlation to the organs and connective tissues, or fascia. Colon hydrotherapy directly supports the hydration of built up material in the colon, often referred to as mucoid plaque, or hardened mucous, as well as the hydration of the entire body as the colon is what recycles water back into the body prior to elimination. Colon hydrotherapy, also referred to as colonics, a colonic, high colonic, colon irrigation, colonic irrigation, or high colonic irrigation is a therapy that has been around for over 2000 years (some would argue over 3000 years). Colonics, as a tool, has been used in helping people detoxify and cleanse their livers, gall bladders, intestines, lymph systems, and for full body cleansing and detoxification as a yearly or seasonal practice. Many people support their health and general well being by integrating colonics with special cleansing diets and detoxification and parasite elimination programs using primarily raw food diets, fasting, juice fasts, special detox or elimination herbs, green food powders, herbal fiber blends, or supplements that simply help to open your major pathway elimination. Common ailments or issues that people address with colon hydrotherapy is gas, flatulence, bloating, bloated feelings, constipation, colitis, crohn's or crohns disease, ibs or irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux disease, cancer, diverticulitis (diverticular, diverticula, diverticulas, diverticular, or diverticulosis as it can be referred to and often misspelled ? thus we include the misspellings here for people), parasites, parasitic infestations, yeast, yeast infections, candida, candidiasis, Backaches or a backache, headaches or a head ache, bad breath, coated tongues, arthritis, indigestion, sinus or lung conditions, skin problems, acne, psoriasis, cystic acne, hair loss, poor concentration, depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, weight loss or overweight, weight gain or underweight, sluggish bowel or bowels, bacteria imbalance in intestines, post surgery or abdominal trauma or simply to reconnect to their gut instinct through becoming more aware of, and more sensitive to, what their body is communication to them.

| Our Colon Hydrotherapists wear gloves. WARNING: If you go to a Facilty and have a Therapist that doesn't wear gloves you should refuse Treatment based on this Unsanitary Condition. You are allowed to refuse treatment and not pay if they do not meet all sanitary conditions. It is our procedure to not only wear gloves, but to wear two pairs of gloves, and take off the first pair leaving the second on, after the insertion of the speculum; and we change the gloves at any time during the procedure that any unsanitary matter might have gotten on the glove to avoid contamination of you or anything else touched in the room. |
| We Use Sanitizers that are reccomended by I-ACT and Dotolo for the inside and outside out the machine. These Sanitizers have been tested by both Organizations and are proven to Kill all Bacteria and Pathogens. The Dotolo system has a built in Santizer system that sanitizes the inside of the machine after every use. Warning: If you go to a facilty it would behoove you to ask to see their sanitizers and to ask about their Sanitizing Procedures. |
