Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Colonic Hydrotherapy?

  Colonic Hydrotherapy has been practised for thousands of years and is still a popular treatment in clinics across the world today. It’s a completely natural and safe treatment which is proven to deliver a host of health benefits. The treatment is enjoyed regularly by celebrities and people of all ages with different health conditions or none at all. You don’t have to be suffering with constipation, diarrhoea or any other bowel irritations to seek out colonic hydrotherapy, as it’s a great way to take care of your health and well-being with regular treatments.

  The treatment is essentially an internal bath, which gently flushes out toxic waste and excess gases, while re-hydrating a constipated bowel. Colonic hydrotherapy really is the ultimate detox for your body and much more effective than any other form of detox diets or products that promise to flush your body of toxins.

• How does Colonic Hydrotherapy work?

  A small tube called a speculum, is gently inserted into the rectum which allows it to introduce warm filtered water into the colon. As the water enters the colon, it causes a feeling of fullness for a short amount of time, followed by a relaxing feeling as the colon is emptied. The speculum allows for the safe entrance of water and the release of waste and toxins.

  The treatment is repeated several times and the therapist will massage your abdomen in order to ensure that the colon receives a full, effective cleanse. The treatment generally takes around 30 to 45 minutes, and results in a cleaner colon with a loosening of old faecal debris.

• How many sessions of Colonic Hydrotherapy do I need?

  Depending on the outcome of your consultation, your therapist will recommend how many colon cleansing treatments you should undergo. This varies from person to person, and can be as little as just one treatment in a period of 1 to 3 months, or a course of up to 6. Following your initial treatments, it’s advisable that maintenance continues every 6 to 12 weeks to keep the colon free from any harmful waste and ensure the effectiveness of the first few treatments.
