Description of Services
Colonic irrigation is a branch of hydrotherapy. It is an internal bath using filtered, purified water that helps cleanse the colon of toxins, gas and accumulated fecal matter. The therapeutic value of colon hydrotherapy is widely recognized in Europe and to a lesser extent in North America. Today, as North Americans become more aware of the benefits of preventative healthcare, colon irrigation is becoming more well known. The colon is a muscular tube approximately five feet long and two and a half inches in diameter. It completes the digestive process. It absorbs minerals, nutrients and excess water from the digestive residue of foods we have eaten. Through years of stress, improper diet, insufficient water and exercise, overeating and ignoring the call of nature, fecal waste will tend to accumulate, resulting in sluggish elimination. This can prevent proper absorption of nutrients and the loss of muscle tone in the colon. By cleansing, we assist the body in removing this waste material, stimulating the organ to improve it's muscle tone. With colonic irrigation people have found their sense of well-being is dramatically improved. You can feel lighter and more energetic.
