A well functioning digestive system is vital to health and wellbeing. As embarrassing as it may be, nearly all of us have suffered from constipation at one time or another, and for many, this is a chronic issue. Did you know that it is possible to have up to 25 pounds of undigested food and putrefied fecal matter trapped in your intestines?
Healthy bowel movements should be effortless, well formed, the consistency of toothpaste, and occur after every meal. If you eliminate only once a day, every other day, or once a week, your body is full of toxic waste!
Your well being depends on what you eat, when you eat, how you eat, fluid intake and how well your food is absorbed. A general understanding of the digestive and eliminative organs is helpful when assessing your digestive health. The stomach is a storage and mixing tank; the small intestine absorbs most nutrients into the bloodstream to give us energy and provide building blocks for growth and maintenance; and, the colon mainly absorbs water and some nutrients and eliminates waste and toxins.
Do you suffer from acne, allergies, bad breath, bloating, belching, constipation, low energy, diarrhea, fatigue, hair loss, headaches, heartburn, gas, indigestion, insomnia, low sex drive, poor memory, protruding gut, reduced resistance to infections or difficulty losing weight? These can all be symptoms of a malfunctioning gut and autointoxication (self poisoning).
When shifting your lifestyle to improve digestion and elimination, you may want to also consider colon cleansing to help remove a build-up of waste and toxins. When you aren't eliminating properly, deposits of fecal matter may build up in pockets or on the walls of the colon. This may interfere with the absorption of nutrients and with optimal bowel function, leading to digestive issues, allergies, and more. Proper nutrition and digestion are the keys to avoiding degenerative diseases including heart conditions, cancer, and autoimmune disfunction.
Colon hydrotherapy, often referred to as a colonic, is an infusion of pure, body temperature water through disposable tubing into the colon via the rectum. This method of cleansing has been in use for thousands of years. The earliest known documentation of colon cleansing is an ancient Egyptian medical record dating back to around 1500 B.C.
In more recent history, doctors often recommended enemas to treat colds, flu, fever and other common ailments. The overuse and abuse of pharmaceuticals led to the decline of doctor recommended enemas. The colonic is a more extensive version of an enema and may allow water to be introduced much deeper into the large intestine... possibly loosening, dislodging, and removing impacted fecal matter, gas, pathogens, and parasites.
Today, colon hydrotherapy is a widely accepted treatment used by many to relieve common ailments, such as constipation. Many also find this to be a powerful tool in their treatment of cancer, autoimmune dysfunction and autointoxication. Many report that regular cleansing with colon hydrotherapy aids in the prevention and reversal of degenerative disease.
Some reasons people choose colon hydrotherapy:
1. Many that seek treatment have digestive distress including constipation, indigestion, gas, bloating, parasite infections, and adhesions from past surgeries
2. Colonics are often recommended by physicians for pre-surgical cleansing or before diagnostic testing (colonoscopies)
3. Geriatric clients often use this procedure to relieve constipation due to inactivity and dehydration
4. Athletes receive colonics for optimum metabolic function
5. Others come reporting chronic and acute pain issues including headaches, back pain, arthritis, and abdominal distress
