FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
So what happens during a colonic treatment ?
We will work together as a team during this process and I will walk you through each step of the way. You are about to embark on a fantastic journey of your 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 instrument's completely enclosed system by way of a separate exit tube. By the way, 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's highlight! Throughout the treatment you will receive a soothing aromatherapy oil massage of your abdomen, further encouraging the removal of faecal matter, gas buildups, mucous and even parasites.
Treatments last approximately 45 minutes and are completely safe.
It is a very gentle process designed to gently 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-sterilized sealed packages and are used only once, then disposed of immediately.
Will it hurt ?
For most people the treatment is quite comfortable and pain-free. Certain people with an unhealthy bowel that is overloaded with toxic matter, may experience some mild cramping. This feeling may come in waves as the colon releases matter during the treatment. These feelings instantly disappear once the release has occurred.
Will one treatment be enough ?
Very rarely. One colonic will remove some of the stagnant, putrified faecal matter. The second and following colonics will release much more; some of us need more and some of us need less. A series of treatments will be recommended to make a substantial impact on your colon's health. However, together we will work on your individual needs, because we are still so different.
How will I feel afterwards ?
People generally feel wonderful, more relaxed, buoyant and even lighter, as if a weight has been lifted ! You may feel like you can now start afresh because you've created space for something better. A cleansed colon, free of hindering substances can lead to a refreshed outlook on life. Emotions can be lifted and the body becomes better nourished and hydrated as a result.
Will I lose good bacteria ?
No, the average colon is generally overrun with destructive bacteria anyway. Colonics benefit the colon by increasing the levels of good intestinal flora due to the washing out of putrified material. Treatments will help create inner balance by allowing good bacteria to flourish thereby doing wonders for repairing your gut wall and strengthening your immune system. I encourage clients to take probiotic supplements as they are a great adjunct to the colonic process.
Will my colon get stronger ?
Yes! The colon 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 its natural movement is restricted. This movement is called peristalsis, which are the wave-like muscular contractions that propel matter through the colon. Every time a person has a treatment their colon gets a great workout - it's like going to the gym only it's on the inside !
