Colon Hydrotherapy is an Important Part of Maintaining Optimal Health.

Health begins in your colon (your gut), which is why it’s important to keep it clean. Doctors do recommend colon therapy as an easy and effective colonoscopy preparation because it flushes waste and pathogens out of the intestines prior to the procedure.

Disease begins in your colon, so along with a healthy diet, colon cleansing is one of the best ways to keep your intestines (and the rest of your body to include the immune system) in optimal shape.

Why Is Your Colon Critical For Good Health? 

Think of your colon as the waste management station of your body. All of the cells and tissues in your body – including your major organ of detoxification, the liver – rely upon a well-functioning colon so they can cleanse your body of toxins.

Yes! Waste, leftover from the digestion of the food, is sent to your colon to be safely excreted from your body, but the important nutrients and hormones are still being absorbed or manufactured there as well.

When everything is working in an efficient manner, your colon would not only handle the waste, it would also absorb leftover nutrients (like water, electrolytes, and vitamins) from digested foods and send them back for your body to use!

Your colon is always deciding what to get rid of and what important nutrients to redistribute. And if think it’s rare for people to have issues with their colon, think again!

3 Important Reasons Why Colon Cleansing Benefits Everyone:

1. The average person has between 7 – 10 pounds of old fecal matter in their colon, even with a bowel movement each day. 

2. The accumulation of waste on the walls of your colon creates the perfect breeding ground for parasites, yeast, bad bacteria, and viruses. 

3. In fact, for too many people today, detoxification pathways are essentially blocked. Over time, toxins build up. It is estimated that the average person is exposed to over 123 toxic chemicals each day from food, water, air, stress, and personal care products.

Colon Therapy and Colonoscopy Preparation 

During colon therapy, a trained colon therapist uses warm water to gently fill up and flush out your colon. This process may feel strange at first, but it can clean out your colon more thoroughly than many other colon cleansing treatments.

In fact, colon therapy is so effective for cleansing, doctors have been recommending colonics as an effective colonoscopy preparation.

Let’s face it anyone who’s had a colonoscopy will say the preparation was the worst part. Colonoscopy preparation consists of drinking a mixture that results in uncomfortable diarrhea as a way to clear your bowels for the procedure. Indeed colonoscopy preparation alone may keep people from doing this important early-detection procedure.

New research is showing that colon therapy is a win-win for doctors AND patients. With colon therapy, doctors are getting better colonoscopy results and patients have a MUCH easier colonoscopy preparation.

Why Cleanse Your Colon? 

Besides colonoscopy preparation, there are many other reasons to cleanse your colon with colon therapy:

• Constipation; A healthy colon will eliminate once per day, constipation is going days without a bowel movement.

• Improve gut health for overall wellness

• Overall body/gut detox

• Digestive health improvement

• Hydration of the body down to the cellular level

• Experiencing signs of “Die-Off” including issues with acne, sore throats, headaches, skin rashes, and itchy skin, muscle and joint aches and pains, vaginal discharge and itching, fatigue and weakness, swollen glands, nausea, low-grade fever, and depression.

• Upon a move from processed foods to a healthier, whole foods diet

• Flush out bad bacteria, yeast, mucous and old fecal matter from your colon (post-illness, over-use, etc.)

Colon Therapy Essentials 

Colon therapy is a great way to jumpstart your journey to health or to enhance the natural cleansing process that takes place as part of a healthy diet.

Here’s what you need to know about colon therapy:

1. It’s safe. Colon therapy is a safe way to flush toxins out of your body. Be sure to find a certified colon therapist and check their references as you would with any technician.

3. It reduces detox symptoms. If you are starting to feel the symptoms of detoxification then a colonic can help speed toxins out of your body and keep you feeling energetic.

Colon therapy is just one way to take care of your digestive system. Combined with a healthy, cleansing diet, regular colonics can heal your intestines to create vibrant health!
