Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is internal bathing of the large intestine (colon) through the gentle administration of triple-filtered, UV sterilized water. As far back as the ancient Egyptians, enemas and other "cleansing rituals" were commonly used to rid the body of toxic waste products believed to cause disease and premature aging. Colon hydrotherapy refers to irrigation of the large bowel. Colonic irrigation is a safe, gentle process that helps to remove years of accumulated wastes and toxins without the use of drugs. Colonic irrigation also strengthens and rebuilds the colon wall. By introducing pure, filtered, UV-sterilized, pressure-controlled and temperature-regulated water into the colon, human waste is softened and loosened, resulting in elimination through natural peristalsis. Peristalsis is the process by which contractions of the smooth muscles in the colon wall move the waste material out.
Colon Health
A proper functioning colon is necessary for physical and emotional health. Ideally, people should be eliminating 2-3 times a day. Constipation and diarrhea are a frequent occurrence in our population and often considered by mainstream to be a part of life. If you have constipation or diarrhea (which is also constipation) this is a symptom that your colon is not functioning optimally.
Poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, stress, and exposure to environmental pollution lead to toxin build up in the colon. In addition, eating dairy products, excessive amounts of animal protein and gluten can lead to excessive mucous production. This mucous acts like glue in the colon, leading to constipation; over time, the colon can become impacted with layers of mucous, old fecal matter and toxins.
Given that the colon is an absorptive organ, toxins that are not eliminated are transmitted to the blood stream via the millions of tiny blood vessels known as capillaries which line the bowel. These toxins settle in our tissues, contributing to a state of disease.
Fiber from fresh fruits and vegetables absorbs fats and toxins and also strengthens peristalsis to more efficiently remove waste material from the colon.
Exercise stimulates the colon and helps the peristalsis muscles work properly.
Ways to Improve Colon Health:
- Consume lots of whole fruits & vegetables for fiber
- Drink sufficient amounts of pure water
- Choose a healthy, whole-foods diet free of refined foods, chemicals and preservatives
- Exercise regularly
- Reduce stress
- Get regular colonics treatments
- Repopulate friendly bacteria with cultured vegetables and probiotics
Friendly/healthy bacteria are necessary to help break down material that wasn't digested properly and it helps keep bad bacteria such as Candida in check. The ratio of good vs. bad bacteria in the colon should be 80/20. Unfortunately, for most Americans this figure is reversed (20% good/80% bad bacteria). This is directly related to very poor eating habits embraced by our culture.
Benefits of the Friendly Bacteria in the Colon:
- Control Candida (yeast)
- Help white blood cells fight disease
- Provide important nutrients for building the blood
- Assist digestion
- Prevent diarrhea and constipation
- Contribute to bowel elimination
- Manufacture B & K vitamins
- The most abundant source of Vitamin B-12
Colon & Emotional Health
The colon is the emotional center of the body and is considered to be the second brain. There are actual peptide connections from the colon to the brain. You have all heard of "gut-reactions" or "I felt it on a gut level." There is a scientific basis to these clichés.
