Colon Hydrotherapy

Did you know your colon contains the largest concentration of bacteria in your body?

Your body’s detoxification system is probably the single most important component to attaining optimal health. When waste material stagnates, the proportion of friendly bacteria to unfriendly bacteria is altered. This then disrupts the balance of microorganisms essential to the health of your colon and your body overall.

Colon Hydrotherapy aids in reestablishing your body’s healthy balance of bacteria while strengthening your immune system.

Colon Hydrotherapy cleanses the colon through safe, gentle infusions of warm, filtered water into and out of the rectum and large intestine using no chemicals or drugs. Colon Hydrotherapy helps to minimize the effects of dietary and environmental stressors. Food cravings may be virtually eliminated, while you may gain a heightened awareness of how various foods affect your sense of wellness.

Colon cleansing has been used for centuries for its natural healing and restorative benefits.

Today, physicians may prescribe colon hydrotherapy as preparation for surgery and intestinal diagnostic procedures. Physicians note that colonic irrigation tones and hydrates the colon and enhances absorption, whereas enemas and laxatives can cause detrimental effects by stretching and fatiguing the colon, as well as becoming physically addictive.

Naturopath Dr. Helene Pulnik of the Glastonbury Naturopathic Center and Wholistic Spa says this about Colon Hydrotherapy:

“Many people can benefit from a gentle colon cleansing. The increase in the chemical and metal toxins introduced into our environment in the last fifty years has contributed to a dramatic increase in the incidence of auto-immune diseases. In an attempt to detoxify, our bowels, kidneys and liver are being overloaded.

“In addition, the over-processed Standard American Diet (SAD diet) is severely lacking in fiber and high in saturated fats. As a result, our eliminative channels have become blocked or dysfunctional. These factors combined weaken the immune system and increase our vulnerability to virus, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections.”
