Frequently Asked Questions About HydroColon Therapy

Colon hydrotherapy is the introduction of warm temperature controlled water 92-98 degrees close to your normal body temperature, to the large intestine via the rectum for the purpose of removing waste, stimulating peristalsis, and hydrating the colon.

This depends on your bowel movement schedule, whether or not you're on a cleanse, or whether you're coming in to address a specific health issue. If you're new to colonics, starting with a series of 3 or 4 sessions within the first two weeks of starting will yield best results. Combining these treatments with a cleanse or a liquid diet is also beneficial. We welcome your phone calls so that we can address your specific goals by giving you the best information pertinent to your needs.

No. Colonics rid the colon of waste. When waste stagnates in the colon, sugars ferment and feed overgrowths of bad bacteria like yeast, mold, and fungus, which inhibit colon function and crowd out good bacteria. Studies have been done on the affect of colon hydro therapy on gut microbiota and the findings confirm that completing a series of colonics increases beneficial bacteria strains:

Due to a growing awareness of the gut microbiome and its importance in everything from immune function to metabolism, gut bacteria testing has become very popular and useful to many doctors and their patients. We refer to Naturopaths who can help you obtain testing should you want it.

No. No one has ever made this claim against a colon hydrotherapist and proven that the introduction of warm filtered water caused perforation to their tissues. This is a common inquiry we get usually based on two things: internet myth & doctors and healthcare providers who are ignorant about colonics. With the system we use, there is no part of our equipment that goes beyond the rectum. Our equipment is FDA registered that can be found in some hospitals. If someone tells you that colonics are dangerous, chances are that person has no idea how colonics work, what their purpose is, they have a bias, or they get the words colonics and colonoscopy mixed up.

Colonics are a hydrating therapy where you will absorb water (great news for dehydrated people). You may lose some electrolytes during your colonic but no more than you would during a workout. Our water is not stripped of minerals and drinking a small glass of electrolyte water following your session (which we provide each of our clients) more than takes care of replenishing electrolytes. Many confuse detoxification symptoms for electrolyte imbalance. Neither are a reason to avoid the benefits colon hydro therapy has to offer.

No. Colonics tone and hydrate and have been used to retrain the bowel to have regular healthy bowel movements. Colonics are very helpful to people with compromised transit time as they help to flush stagnant waste that would otherwise be auto intoxicating. Though rare, some people depend on colonics and home enemas to help them have regular bowel evacuation. These people often have diagnosed conditions, take medication that inhibits regular evacuation (some cancer drugs do this), or are wheelchair or bed bound, causing their transit time to dramatically slow down. In these cases, the use of regular colonics or enemas isn't seen as "addictive", they're seen as a tool so that some people do not struggle with constipation for weeks at a time. For people with chronic constipation, many would prefer to have regular colonics versus take prescription medication with side effects or face the uncomfortable bloated feeling of retaining excess waste in their body.

In order for any cleanse to be effective, the body needs to eliminate daily. Whether you come every day of a juice cleanse or only once, it's important to help your body with daily elimination while cleansing. We have safe & gentle products to assist you with this if you need help. We have 3, 5 and 7 day detox and cleanse programs. We can discuss how many colonics will be appropriate for your specific cleanse.

Most of our clients skip the next 24-48 hours of bowel movement. This DOES NOT mean the colonic made you constipated. When we empty the contents of the large intestine, you will experience a truer understanding of your own transit time (the time it takes your body to move food through your digestive tract from consumption to evacuation). Pay attention to the foods you eat following a colonic, how your digestion feels, and try to track your bowel movement schedule.

This information will be helpful to your therapist, who can help you make sense of how your body is processing the foods you eat. If you want to avoid a delayed transit time following a colonic, you can take magnesium, add aloe to your smoothie, take probiotics, and other supplements to encourage the next bowel movement in a more timely fashion.
