FAQ: Treatment

What happens during a colonic treatment?

We will be working together as a team during this process and I will walk you through each step of the way. You will be starting out on your amazing journey towards better health….

Lying comfortably on your back, fully covered, a qualified therapist, over the course of the treatment, will introduce a series of warm, filtered, water infusions in gentle, regulated flows into your colon. Both water and wastes are discharged through the instruments’ completely enclosed system by way of a separate exit tube. There is no odour, noise or mess and you will see the eliminations as they occur through a well-lit viewing tube. Some people say that watching it all leave is the treatment highlight! Throughout the treatment you will receive a soothing aromatherapy oil massage of your abdomen, further encouraging the removal of faecal matter, gas, mucous and even parasites.

The treatments go for approximately 45 minutes and are completely safe. It is a very gentle process designed to gently stimulate and awaken the colon’s innate ability. The most up-to-date colon hydrotherapy equipment is used and the disposable tubing and speculum come in pre-sterilised and sealed packages. They are used only once then disposed of immediately.

Will one treatment be enough?

Very rarely. One colonic will remove some of the putrefied faecal matter residing in the bowel. The second and following will release much more; some of us more and some of us less. Remember it is a gentle, ‘softening and releasing’ process so decades of built-up faecal matter, mucous and parasites will not be removed with just one treatment. A series of treatments will be recommended to make a substantial impact on your colon’s health. However, we are all very different and it depends on what you bring to the plate so to speak. We can work together on your individual needs.

Will it hurt?

For most people the treatment is quite comfortable and pain-free. Certain people with an unhealthy bowel that is overloaded with their toxic matter, may experience some mild cramping. This feeling may come in waves as the colon releases matter during the treatment. This feeling can be described as a feeling of diarrhoea and the feeling instantly subsides once the release has occurred.

How will I feel after the treatment?

People generally feel great, more relaxed but full of energy, like a weight or burden has been lifted! You may feel like now you can start afresh because you’ve created space for something better. A cleansed and hydrated colon, free of hindering toxic substances can lead to a refreshed outlook on life. Emotions can be lifted and the body becomes hydrated, better nourished and energetic as a result.

Will I lose good bacteria?

No. The average colon is generally overrun with destructive bacteria anyway. Colonics benefit the colon by creating a cleaner, better environment for good intestinal flora to flourish. It does this by flushing out the putrefied material that enabled bad bacteria to flourish. Treatments will help create inner balance by allowing good bacteria to flourish thereby doing an amazing job at repairing your gut wall and strengthening your immune system. I encourage clients to take probiotic supplements usually after their third treatment as they are a great adjuct to the colonic process.

Will my colon get stronger?

Yes. Through this treatment we are awakening the colon, taking it to the gym so to speak. It will become more toned, awakened and responsive. When it is full of hardened faecal matter, it becomes very difficult to have complete, healthy bowel movements and it’s natural (peristaltic) movement is restricted. Peristalsis, is the name for the wave-like muscular contractions that propel matter through the colon. Every time a person has a treatment their colon gets a workout. It gets cleansed and encouraged to move again.
