Colon Hydrotherapy
Posted by admin on Apr 2, 2010
Every tissue in the body is fed by the bloodstream, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty and so are the organs and tissues. It is the bowel that must be cared for first.” So states Dr. Bernard Jensen, lecturer and author of over thirty books on natural health care. Hippocrates claimed that chronic disease came from auto-intoxication ie., self-poisoning due to constipation. Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective, hygenic procedure that assists the colon in transporting waste out of the body. Colon Hydrotherapy is not painful or embarrassing. For most people a session (about 45 minutes) is comfortable and even relaxing.
The FDA- registered, state-of-the-art equipment is a closed system. No odor, no mess and the waste is passed directly into the sewer system. The equipment is completely sanitized after each session. Only disposable hoses and speculums are used.
The Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy, Colon Cleansing, Colon Irrigation, Colonics, High Colonics, Gentle water cleansing, whatever you want to call it, is a gentle clean and relaxing experience. A soothing flow of filtered, temperature-controlled water gently circulates throughout the colon, coaxing your body to yield the digested toxins and waste that may have built up inside the large intestinal walls. Colon Irrigation, or Colon Cleansing is ancient, time-honored, gentle water cleansing of the colon. “Why cleanse the colon?” you ask, “I will never think about my colon. It’s the tail end of my digestive tract, for heaven’s sake”. “Sounds a bit gross to tell the truth!!!”
Well think for a minute. If you’ve ever eaten junk food, fatty food, sweets, caffeine, soda pop, chemically treated and preserved foods, processed food, too much food, too little food, or, in fact, anything that modern culture deems edible, you will benefit from colon cleansing, or colon hydrotherapy.
Unfortunately, we take better care of our outward body, which includes our face and hair and do not think much about what is going on inside our body. When the daily rigors and diets of modern life besiege us, the colon or large intestine becomes the repository of accumulated toxins which may disable the body’s purification system. The useless material ends up reentering our body’s blood stream, getting deposited in our cells instead of passing on its way. Talk about Toxic Waste! As a result, we feel and act far below our potential. Once the impacted fecal waste is removed, your colon can begin again to cooperate as it was meant to. In this very real sense a colonic is a rejuvenation session.
“Your Body” – the house you live in.
Your body is like a house you live in. A home needs repair once in a while. Every function in your body, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual is dependent on the attention that you give it. The elimination of undigested or fermented food and other waste product is as important as the proper digestion and assimilation of food.
Hello! I’m at the beginning-ish of a spiritual process of cleansing my body (all of it — my light body, emotional body, and physical body) of as much negative energy as possible. It was recommended to me that I do a colon cleanse and liver cleanse… possibly several of them. I see you do colon cleansing, and it looks like the ion foot bath benefits the liver in some way, but do you offer any services for liver cleansing directly? I understand that the liver houses a good amount of anger, and cleansing it is a good way to peal off a few layers of anger energy. Thank You for your help!
I have been hunting for good recommendations on natural health and think that your site is an excellent resource. It is not easy to find good suggestions on the Internet, but I think I can put it to good use! If you have any more reliable information, please let me know. Thanks a million!
OMG! I can’t believe I did it! I mean, my only previous exposure to colon hydrotherapy, usually referred to as ‘colonics,’ is the Sarah Jessica Parker scene in LA Story, a movie from
1991. Her character is young and perky and yet she emerges even younger and perkier.
Several motivators finally got me in the door to try this controversial technique. First, I visited with Cece Alvarado, a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist at Inner Health Care Colonics, to learn more about why she decided on such a ‘unique’ business. I mean, really, do you want to give ‘colonics’ for a living? Her office is such a professional blend of health and wellness facility and spa that I felt comfortable with this unusual idea.
Second, she showed me some before and after photos that emphasized the difference that this procedure could make. Since someone as healthy as Dr. Oz has been found with a polyp, it seems advisable for all of us to consider what we can do to take better care of ourselves, even in this delicate (and uncomfortable) area.
Third, at The Holistic Chamber of Commerce, we check references on our Members to ensure a high level of integrity and quality for the services and products we represent. The stories I’ve heard from those who have had colon hydrotherapy treatments have been amazing. Results include weight loss, renewed energy (based on extreme fatigue), and even emotional release. Is there such a thing as ‘emotional constipation?’ If you appreciate the mind-body connection, then you may benefit from an unexpected outcome!
Alright… enough generalities… What is it really like? (Other than awkward) I’m sure that the experience varies based on the quality of the facilities and personality of the, um, facilitator.
A few things to expect: You’ll need to undress, completely, and put on the robe. This is a physical process and it is helpful for your Colon Therapist to see your body’s response throughout. This helps them to help you more effectively. Also, you’ll have to insert the speculum yourself. Fortunately, they will coach you to find the right positioning.
There are some misconceptions about the procedure and I’d like to clear them up now. It’s a natural water flow process, in and out, and there no suction is involved. Actually, once I was able to get my head around the idea that I just needed to relax my body and ‘let go,’I was fine. Of course, since I live in LA and stress is my most natural state, it took a little time to release.
I enjoyed soothing music and subtle aromatherapy during my session. I appreciated the privacy of the offices and the soft touches that made her offices feel more like home.
Will I do it again? Yeah, actually, I just might… especially since it’s an affordable, easy way to protect my health and feel younger and perkier again!
