Colonic Hydrotherapy, also known as Colonic Irrigation is a comfortable method of cleansing the colon of toxic waste. It is a safe and easy way to provide your colon with an intense internal bath which cleanses the colon of old waste material and harmful toxins. Colonic Hydrotherapy is an essential treatment which helps restore your body’s natural pH balance as well as stimulating and restoring your immune system. Additional benefits can often be observed throughout the body in the form of more energy, clearer skin, improved mental concentration and clarity, fewer headaches, improvement in your circulatory system and weight problems and many other positive side effects.
The colon, also called the large intestine is essentially the last part of the digestive tract. It is basically made up of four different sections, the ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon. Its main function is to absorb salt and water from solid waste before it is eliminated. The colon is vitally important in maintaining a neutral balance within the body.
However, the sensitive balance of this internal ecosystem can very easily be disrupted by a number of factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs, smoking and exposure to toxic substances. The average person is said to carry approximately 7-25lbs of toxic waste which is absorbed through the large intestine.
Toxic overload is accountable for many body imbalances which could possibly lead to serious health problems. Your colon is intended to remove waste products from the body but a combination of improper food, poor diet, nutrition and prescription drugs may reduce its ability to function effectively. The action of the Colonic treatment exercises and tones the bowel therefore encouraging the elimination of waste both during and in-between treatments. Therefore, the overall toxic load on the body is reduced providing a much better internal balance for your body.
Colonic treatment is now widely used throughout the UK and is particularly useful in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and the effects that come with IBS; headaches, stomach pains, irritability, discomfort, lack of appetite, dehydration alongside many more symptoms. A series of colonic hydrotherapy sessions can also have a beneficial effect for people suffering with constipation.
Our highly qualified and experienced Clinicians understand the personal sensitivity of this treatment. They will preserve your dignity and modesty throughout the whole procedure as well as explaining the treatment making sure you are comfortable and confidentiality is pertinent towards any of our treatments at Vitality. During the treatment filtered water at a carefully regulated temperature is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum under gentle gravitational pressure. Your clinician will perform a relaxing special massage technique to assist in the release of stored matter within your colon. The water softens and cleanses the colon of faecal matter and old deposits which are then discreetly piped into the drain line, without any distinct odour.
Immediately after your treatment you will feel very relaxed, peaceful, lighter, cleaner and more energised. Due to the colonic’s profound cleansing effect on the body, many people fell so good afterwards that they feel they would be able to double their training times, weights and intensity. Caution is advised here, for it can be overdone. It is advised that you maintain your usual levels of activity, and strenuous activity should be avoided on the day of the treatment.
