Solutions Colonics

ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST:
I qualified as a registered nurse in 1982 and have been working nights for the NHS in the operating theatres. Over the years I have become more aware of how many emergency bowel operations are being performed. For this reason I became interested in Colon Hydrotherapy and its benefits. By improving our diet, taking exercise, increasing our water intake and having regular colonics, then maybe we can reduce the number of bowel problems we have as a nation.

ABOUT THE COLON:
The colon or large intestine is the last 5 feet of the digestive system. It carries out a number of vital functions including absorbing water, electrolytes and some vitamins. Most of the digestion and absorption of food is complete by the time it reaches the colon so the major function of the colon is the formation and elimination of faeces. The time from ingestion to elimination should be about 12 to 24 hours but with irregular or infrequent bowel movements toxins, decay and fermentation can remain in the colon. A person with a healthy colon will have 2-3 bowel movements per day, shortly after each meal taken.

WHAT IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
Also known as ‘colonic irrigation’ or ‘lavage’, it is a gentle method of removing stubborn faecal matter from the walls of the colon. Warm water that has been filtered 3 times is gently introduced through a small tube in the rectum, this water softens and loosens the faeces and when released, comes away through a viewing tube – absolutely clean and odourless. Cleaning of the colon in this way enhances the absorption of nutrients, reduces stagnation, improves the muscle tone of the colon and maintains harmony of the intestinal flora in promoting optimal health. Your dignity will be maintained throughout. A good colonic is equivalent to 20-30 regular bowel movements.

CAN ANYONE HAVE COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
No. Colon Hydrotherapy is not suitable for people with the following conditions:
Severe cardiac disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure
Aneurysm
Severe haemorrhoids
Fistulas or fissures
Abdominal hernias
Cancer of the rectum or bowel
Recent abdominal surgery(less than 3 months)
Diverticulitis, crohns, ulcerative colitis.

THE DETOXIFYING BENEFITS:

Decrease bloating
Improved sleep
Healthier skin and hair
Decrease in heartburn & indigestion
Feeling of well- being.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE TREATMENT?
It is a good idea to eat lightly in the 2 hours prior to your colonic as your abdomen will be massaged during treatment.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Please arrive in good time for your appointment as this will give you time to relax. After your consultation and an explanation of the procedure the treatment will take 30 to 45 mins, so you can expect to be here for up to 1 and a quarter hours. Subsequent treatments will not take as long.

WILL IT HURT?
No. The rectal tube is small and once inserted and you are relaxed and having treatment, you won’t even know it’s there.

IS IT EMBARRASSING?
No. Only you and your therapist are present in a private room. The room will have a relaxing atmosphere, with soft music and the therapist will make you feel completely at ease. The clinic also has its own toilet facilities

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
This will be discussed on your first visit, as the number of treatments varies for person to person.
