Colonic Hydrotherapy
The digestive system and the colon -
click to see a larger version Colonic Hydrotherapy (sometimes called Colonic Irrigation) totally cleanses and detoxifies the body, an essential requirement for total well-being and promotion of healing. The colon is a major part of the excretory system and is responsible for eliminating food and other body wastes, as well as protecting us from infection and disease. In a normal functioning colon, all this is achieved with the help of billions of friendly bacteria which inhabit the colon and make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal waste. However, the delicate balance of your internal ecosystem can very easily be disturbed by a number of factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs, smoking and exposure to toxic substances. Colonic Hydrotherapy or Irrigation is a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances from the colon. Your visit to our registered colonic therapist will first involve the taking of your case history. The colonic itself will take 30-45 minutes: water will be gently introduced into your colon via the rectum, while your therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate the release of stored matter. 
Annette Goldsmith, our therapist, is a Member of the Association & Register of Colon Hydrotherapists and the Guild of Colon Hydrotherapists. The treatment cost is £70 per session of approximately 60 minutes. For more information see the Association & Register of Colon Hydrotherapists web site, www.colonic-association.org. It is not just we that recognise the importance of a clean colon. Nature knows that too - see this Hatha Yoga account of the ibis. |
