Colonic Irrigation or Colon Hydrotherapy FAQ'sThis web site features a number of pages devoted to frequently asked questions related to constipation and colon cleaning. Below are numerous questions that are frequently asked about colonic irrigation, the equipment used for colon hydrotherapy, and the benefits of this treatment. The accompanying article includes more frequently asked questions about colonic irrigation.  What is colonic irrigation or colon hydrotherapy?Colonic irrigation, colon therapy, colonics or high enemas are all names that refer to colon hydrotherapy. Colonic irrigation is a method of cleansing the colon by removing accumulated toxic matter and other substances, such as mucus, that have built up inside the large intestine. Instead of using chemicals, filtered and temperature-regulated water is inserted into the colon a few times per session. This softens and loosens the compacted matter in the colon, helping the body purify itself. How many colon hydrotherapy sessions will I need?The number of sessions varies from person to person. While some people exercise daily while others go weekly, bodily cleansing routines may also differ depending on individual goals. Colonic irrigation should be considered as part of any health and well-being program. A home colon cleansing program tends to be a more cost-effective and less embarrassing alternative to medical offices that offer colon hydrotherapy sessions. What is involved in a colonic irrigation treatment session?First, filtered water that has reached a specific temperature is inserted into the colon through the rectum by using gentle gravitational pressure. Then,
the colonic irrigation therapist uses special massage techniques to move the water through the colon so that it cleanses the entire area. Lastly, the toxins
and fecal matter are piped out of the colon along with the waste water using the colonic irrigation equipment. This process may be repeated several times.
We cannot stress enough the importance of only using a trained, experienced colonic hydrotherapist to ensure the safest and most effective treatment
possible. Is there any possibility that I can get a bacterial or viral infection from the colonic irrigation equipment?It is highly unlikely that you will contract any infections or diseases from the equipment being used. All equipment follows strict Food & Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. These include a number of safety features that include temperature-controlled water mixing and backflow prevention valves, pressure and temperature sensors, and a built-in sanitizing and purification unit. Disposable single use rectal tubes are also employed to safeguard all patients from contracting any infections. All equipment is fully sterilized prior to usage. However, complete sterilization cannot be guaranteed because the FDA cannot monitor usage of every piece of equipment. Unfortunately, that fact leaves a very slight possibility for infection. Using a licensed colonic hydrotherapist increases your chances of having a safe experience. Is it embarrassing to have colon hydrotherapy? The colonic hydrotherapist appreciates your concern for privacy and confidentiality. You will have time alone to undress and put on a protective
treatment gown. Only your therapist will be in your private room when the procedure takes place. After the insertion of a small tube into the rectum, you
remain completely covered during the rest of the session. Despite all these precautions, it can still seem embarrassing. If you are still concerned about
how you feel, you might want to consider at-home colon cleansing treatments, such as Colon Cleansing Kit or Oxy-Powder, which provide more convenience and
privacy while effectively purifying the toxins and waste matter that have built-up in your colon. |
