How can Colon Hydrotherapy help me?

A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. A Colon Hydrotherapy session has the potential to cleanse a large portion of the whole colon, or large intestine, releasing mucus, gas, and fecal impactions during repeated fills and empties.

Unlike enemas and laxatives, Colon Hydrotherapy is not physically addictive. With an enema, water enters the body from the rectum under gravity force, distending and weakening the lower section of the colon before being released on the toilet. Laxatives, taken orally, pull water from other parts of the body into the large intestine, and act as a purgative to over-stimulate the colon's peristaltic function, forcefully pushing fecal material out of the system, and weakening the colon muscles. Our naturopath, Dr. Pulnik, notes that our cleansing method seems to have a beneficial toning effect while also hydrating and enhancing absorption rather than the possible stretching and fatiguing consequences of enemas or laxatives.

We believe that as you release toxins from your body, you may become more relaxed. Please read Michael Gershon's The Second Brain and Candace Pert's Molecules of Emotion for more information about this mind-body connection.

You might also find that your cravings are diminished or eliminated while, at the same time, you may sense a heightened awareness of how different foods affect you.

Colon Hydrotherapy may also be prescribed by physicians as preparation prior to surgery and intestinal diagnostic procedures (i.e. barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy). Danbury Hospital in Connecticut is now offering this (watch video).
