Q:
How does a colon hydrotherapy treatment compare to an enema?
A:
An enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, whereas with
colon hydrotherapy, the entire length of the colon (the large intestinal tract
approximately 5 to 5 ½ feet length) is reached. Colon hydrotherapy
is many more times effective. One colon irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas.
Q:
How much of the intestines are actually cleansed during a colon hydrotherapy
treatment?
A:
During a treatment it is possible for a professional colon therapist to cleanse
the full length of the colon (large intestine). The small intestines are not
specifically involved in a colon hydrotherapy treatment. The small intestine
may be cleansed with the help of an oral (herb-based) intestinal cleanser.
Q:
What should I do to prepare for a colon hydrotherapy cleansing?
A:
Refrain from eating before the cleansing, be as relaxed as possible and maintain
a positive, cheerful attitude.
Q:
Will I experience any intestinal discomfort or fatigue after the cleansing?
A:
Usually not, but since the cleansing will stir up a lot of old debris and
toxins; you might experience some minor nausea or fatigue. If any discomfort
occurs, it is recommended to rest and apply a warm heating pad to the abdomen.
If you wish, a mild vegetable broth or peppermint tea is usually soothing
at this time. Any discomfort will usually pass within 12 hours.
Q:
Can I work directly after having a colon hydrotherapy session?
A:
Certainly, you can work just as you could after a regular bowel movement.
Q:
Is a colonic harmful in any way?
A:
No, unlike laxatives, which inflame and irritate the colon, a colonic is a
gentle, thorough cleansing. Greater harm results from not washing out the
toxic substances inside the intestines and colon.
