Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is an excellent opportunity to restore and maintain optimum colon health. With colon hydrotherapy, you can fight in an effective way so-called dysbiosis, a disturbance of the natural partnership between the digestive tract and intestinal bacterial flora. Due to frequent intakes of denatured food with no nutritional value, ways of life dominated by stress, insufficient exercise and obesity, environmental toxins and pollution, abuse of medicines, etc. one’s balance of gut flora is at high risk to get imbalanced. Besides adequate food a proper digestion provided by a balanced bacterial flora is necessary to absorb the right kind of nutrients our body needs to maintain its function. We know that the body detoxifies through the bile left excreted with the faeces, giving it the brownish colour.
Additionally the intestine is the most important organ of the immune system. 80% of the human body’s immune cells are managed and controlled within the walls of the large and small intestine at locations called peyer’s patches; thus making them very important for any type of immune cell response and essential for the body’s defence against any kind of invaders and pathogens. With increasing intestinal inertia and an imbalanced intestinal flora, the defence forces weaken. Contrary to normal enemas, the entire large intestine is treated. Via an intestinal tube, filtered water is introduced to the end gut. In a closed system, the water and dissolved intestinal content are led out again by a discharge hose. This occurs with low intake pressure and accompanying massage of the lower abdominal region. This makes the whole treatment pleasant and enjoyable. The water temperature is adapted to the patient’s needs. The colon hydrotherapy expels, in an effective way, accumulated stool and rotten material within the walls of the intestines. This way the functional surface of the intestines is considerably relieved and enhances its effectiveness.
During the 30-50 minutes of a treatment, the patient remains relaxed on the couch. With the gentle massage of the lower abdomen, the therapist addresses remaining problem zones. The strong vegetative and thermal stimulus promotes peristalsis and the intestines start to work again. The treatment is completely clean, the couch remains dry and no disturbing smells are developed. Directly after the therapy, it is advisable, to spent some time on the toilet, as well as to walk up and down several times, in order to promote the complete emptying of the intestines After the treatment, drink plenty of water, tea or bouillon, since the procedure extracts water from the system.
