Colon Hydrotherapy is safe, gentle and effective. It is a restorative therapy used to cleanse, tone, and maintain optimal colon health Also known as colonic irrigation or colonics, colon hydrotherapy involves the use of low-pressure water and is administered by one of our professionally trained colon therapists in a private room in our medical clinic. A series of treatments is necessary to accomplish a complete detoxification and rebalance the body.
Why it Works:
Colon hydrotherapy removes unwanted waste material and rejuvenates the colon. Light massage during the therapy restores the original colon shape improving conditions such as constipation and even diarrhea without the use of prescription drugs. By relieving localized toxins, it takes pressure off of the surrounding organs often even reducing symptoms of conditions like cystitis, dysmenorrhea and challenges affecting the heart, liver and lungs. Intestinal Parasites an be flushed out as part of the process.
Colon hydrotherapy benefits the hips and lumbar areas by improving their mobility, improving venous return and improving abdominal muscle tone. By activating and restoring normal elimination, the body releases toxins, improving both immune system and metabolism, often weight loss follows.
The colon, just like the feet, hands and ears also have reflexology points along the organ. By stretching the colon it stimulates reflexology points and benefits the organs being stimulated in a positive way.

History of Colon Hydrotherapy:
Colon Hydrotherapy was used initially to treat fever and remove mucous. In fact, it was not uncommon for many European cultures to have an enema bag hanging on the back of the bathroom door which would be the first thing to get put to use if any member of the house hold made mention of feeling the slightest bit sick or had a runny nose.
The practice of various forms of "colon hydrotherapy" (water therapy of the colon) began as early as 1500 B.C. in Egypt and was documented as “Eber Papyrus” Ancient Greeks also used colonic irrigation for digestive disorders. Elie Mechinkoff, a Russian in 1908 received the Nobel Prize for research on immunity and the influence of bowel toxins on immunity.
In modern days, Dr. John H. Kellogg (inventor of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and Rice Crispies) was a big proponent of colon hydrotherapy and eating lots of fiber especially contained in fruits and vegetables. He used colon therapy in his practice on thousands of patients in the place of gastrointestinal surgery.
Colon hydrotherapy reached the United States in the 1920s and ‘30s. During that time colonic irrigation machines were used in hospitals and doctors’ offices. Unfortunately as the pharmaceutical industry grew, natural treatments such as this one, became less utilized in the hospital setting, but now, once again doctors are turning to natural treatments as an adjunct to their protocols instead of prescription drugs.
