Cleanse Your Colon -What To Expect

by Harold Ulvaeus

Colon hygiene is nothing new, but it’s popularity is gaining by having colon hydrotherapy treatments, or “colonics”. For the “uninitialized”, the thought of having large amounts of water flushing through the colon may not be a very comfortable one. This article will show you what to expect.

How do you clean your colon?

Colon hydrotherapy uses large amounts of water to flush the colon thoroughly. There are no chemicals or medications used so there are no toxic side effects. Water, warmed to body temperature is carefully pushed into the colon via a rectal tube. The equipment used is designed to eliminate the possibility of contamination between patients.

What will my experience be?

A colon cleansing treatment may last anywhere from a half an hour to an hour, but you should plan for at least an hour to an hour and a half. This will allow plenty of time for orientation and paperwork, especially if this is your first visit. About thirty gallons of warm water will be gently pushed into the colon and back out again during the procedure. Although it seems like a lot of water, it is necessary to completely cleanse the colon of impacted feces. Your colon hydrotherapy technician will most likely couple the procedure with abdominal massage to aid in the expulsion of waste. Waste is eliminated through a closed system, so it is discreet and does not cause foul odors. You may need to have up to three colon cleansing sessions at first to completely cleanse the colon. A skilled technician will help keep the patient comfortable, and patients often report very little discomfort during a procedure.

How often do I need to have my colon cleansed?

In general, having a colonic once every three to six months is recommended. If your diet is poor, and you do not get regular exercise more frequent colonics may be recommended.

How will I feel after the colonic?

Many will experience feeling wonderful and more energetic after a colonic. Bowel movements may be lighter and more frequent.Symptoms may be lessened or even eliminated. Regular colonics may give you many health benefits, some you never even thought you could achieve. Once you have had your first colon cleanse session, you will look forward to the experience again.
