This section, though informative, is not intended for educational purposes. 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.  Colon hydrotherapy is considered an integrative
therapy that goes very well with massage, chiropractic work, cranial sacral, soma, heller work, mayan abdominal
massage, chi nei tsang, colonoscopies or colonoscopy, pilates, palates, yoga, meditation, retreats, chi gong, tai chi,
martial arts, karate, aikido, tai kuan do, metal detox or detoxification through dental work removing mercury filling or
chelation therapy, chelating therapy, reflexology, lymph drainage, structural and functional bodywork like feldenkrais,
and iridology. Colonics or a colonic is considered both traditional, due to its longevity in the medical profession as well
as alternative health care. Its origin begins with the of plants as a conduit to introduce water into the colon, then to
enemas and now colonic irrigation, or colon hydrotherapy. It is considered essential for those wishing to detox or
cleanse the body as the colon must be kept functioning and open for elimination as one of the major pathways for toxin
or toxic eliminations.  The same is true for parasite, parasitic or parasites being eliminated from the large intestines or
small intestines. The Tummy Temple also focuses on nutrition, nutritional counseling, diet, dieting, weight loss, eating
disorders, fertility, pregnancy, pre natal and post natal care, pre surgery and post surgery medication detoxing and
detoxification, abdominal surgery post trauma release and scar massage, fibroid massage in the abdomen. Our
therapists are all either certified or licensed in their field of practice.

Information about Diseases
that Affect the Colon
Diverticulosis & Diverticulitus:
Diverticulosis:

Many people have small pouches in the lining
of the colon, or large intestine, that bulge
outward through weak spots. Each pouch is
called a diverticulum. Multiple pouches are
called diverticula. The condition of having
diverticula is called diverticulosis.


Diverticulitis:

Diverticula are most common in the lower
portion of the large intestine, called the
sigmoid colon. When the pouches become
inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis.
Ten to 25 percent of people with
diverticulosis get diverticulitis.3
Diverticulosis and diverticulitis together are
called diverticular disease.
Prolapsed Colon:
What is a Colonic?
Implants
Prolapse of the colon is when the colon collapse and falls down.
The transverse colon is most likely to prolapse. If the colon
prolapses there, it then pulls the organs above it down and
causes pressure on contents of the abdomen below it. This can
cause some serious complications.
A prolapsed colon, also referred to as rectal prolapse, is
characterized by the rectal lining protruding from the anus. The
condition often occurs while having a bowel movement, due to
excessive straining, though other causes exist. A prolapsed
colon needs to be treated right away or chronic incontinence may
develop.
Although prolapse typically develops during a bowel movement,
that is not actually the cause. Rather, the muscles and ligaments
attached to the colon become weakened.  Therefore, this tissue
is more easily pushed out during a bowel movement.

The muscles and ligaments holding the colon may become
weakened in many different ways. Diseases of the colon or of the
surrounding tissue can cause these muscles to be weakened.  
Furthermore, aging can make a person more susceptible to rectal
prolapse.
Colitis:
Note: Most Diseases and Derangements of the Colon require Colonoscopy
and/or X-rays of the Colon, which would be done through a MD (Medical
Physician).  If you have Insurance we recommend you have these tests
done.  Otherwise unless previously diagnosed or experiencing pain the
protocols of therapy and products we recommend are designed to Fix and
reverse these diseases and disorders of the Colon.  To fix any health
problems requires therapy, strict dietary changes, supplements, and
sometimes strong herbal medicines.

Ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top
layer of the lining of the large intestine.  
Ulcerative colitis, is thought to be an autoimmune illness in which the
body's immune system attacks the colon and causes inflammation.
Ulcerative colitis begins in the rectum and may gradually spread
throughout the colon. The signs and symptoms are generally
abdominal pain and bloody bowel movements.

Ischemic Colitis

The arteries that supply blood to the colon are like any other
artery in the body.  When these arteries narrow, the colon
loses it's blood supply and becomes inflamed.

The colon can also lose its blood supply for mechanical reasons.
A couple of examples include volvulus, in which the bowel twists
on itself, or an incarcerated hernia in which a portion of the
colon gets stuck in an outpouching of the abdominal wall.

In patients who are at risk for decreased blood flow to the colon,
ischemic colitis can occur if the blood pressure falls. This may
occur with dehydration, anemia, or shock.
Colitis is a chronic digestive disease
characterized by inflammation of the colon.

Colitis is one of a group of conditions which
are inflammatory and auto-immune,
affecting the tissue that lines the
gastrointestinal system (the large and
small intestine). It is classed as an
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), not to be
confused with irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS).
Mega Colon:
Colon Cancer & Polyps:
Most people with diverticulosis do not have any
discomfort or symptoms. However, some people may
experience crampy pain or discomfort in the lower
abdomen, bloating, and constipation.
The most common symptom of diverticulitis is abdominal
pain. The most common sign on examination is
tenderness in the lower left side of the abdomen.
Usually, the pain is severe and comes on suddenly, but it
can also be mild and become worse over several days.
The intensity of the pain can fluctuate. A person may
experience cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, or
a change in bowel habits.
Although not proven, the dominant theory is that a low-
fiber diet causes diverticular disease. The disease was
first noticed in the United States in the early 1900s,
around the time processed foods were introduced into
the American diet. Consumption of processed foods
greatly reduced Americans’ fiber intake.
Megacolon is an abnormal dilatation of the colon (a part of the large intestines) that is not
caused by mechanical obstruction. The dilatation is often accompanied by a paralysis of the
peristaltic movements of the bowel. In more extreme cases, the feces consolidate into hard
masses inside the colon, called fecalomas (literally, fecal tumor), which require surgery to be
removed.

A human colon is considered abnormally enlarged if it has a diameter greater than 12 cm in the
cecum, greater than 6.5 cm in the rectosigmoid region and greater than 8 cm for the ascending
colon.

A megacolon can be either acute or chronic.
If benign polyps are not removed
from the large intestine, they can
become malignant (cancerous) over
time. Most of the cancers of the
large intestine are believed to have
developed from polyps. Cancer of
the colon and rectum (also referred
to as colorectal cancer) can invade
and damage adjacent tissues and
organs. Cancer cells can also break
away and spread to other parts of the
body (such as liver and lung) where
new tumors form. The spread of
colon cancer to distant organs is
called metastasis of the colon
cancer. Once metastasis has
occurred in colorectal cancer, a
complete cure of the cancer is
unlikely.
Globally, cancer of the colon and rectum is the third leading cause of cancer in males and the
fourth leading cause of cancer in females. The frequency of colorectal cancer varies around
the world. It is common in the Western world and is rare in Asia and Africa. In countries where
the people have adopted western diets, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing.
