🌿 Colonic FAQ 🌿

​

🌿 Why should I be concerned about my colon?

Although not always the focus of conventional health regimes, the colon plays a leading role in overall well-being. When the colon is full of toxins, physical health can be impacted, potentially leading to more serious conditions over time.

🌿 Is a colon hydrotherapy session safe?

Yes. With modern colon hydrotherapy devices and standardized procedures, colon hydrotherapy is often safer than administering an enema. Compared to the overuse of laxatives, colonics provide long-term benefits without the associated risks.

🌿 What is the difference between colon hydrotherapy, enemas, and laxatives?

• Colon Hydrotherapy: Cleanses, hydrates, and tones the entire length of the large intestine (approx. 5–6 feet).

• Enemas: Only reach the lower part of the colon (about 1 foot).

• Laxatives: Contain drugs or chemicals that irritate the colon, can dehydrate the bowel, and lack the hydrating benefits of colon hydrotherapy.

 

🌿 Does colon hydrotherapy hurt?

Most people find colon hydrotherapy refreshing and relaxing. Warm, purified water enters the colon very gently, comparable to a slow trickle from a faucet. The speculum insertion may feel “odd” for a few seconds, but the procedure is not painful.

 

🌿 Should I see my doctor before my first session?

If you have any health concerns, consult your doctor. A prescription is required if you are:

• Diagnosed with diverticulitis, diverticulosis, colitis, Crohn’s disease

• Experiencing severe hemorrhoids

• Have rectal/intestinal tumors

• Pregnant

 

🌿 Could there be cross-contamination from other clients?

No. All materials (tubing, speculums, drapes) are single-use and disposed of after each session. The hydrotherapy device has a one-way check valve and an internal self-cleaning system using hospital-grade disinfectant.

How long does a session take?

• Initial visit: ~1.5 hours (review history, questions, session)

• Follow-up visits: ~1 hour

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your individual needs. Your situation will be evaluated during your initial consultation.

 

🌿 Can I get a colonic during my menstrual period?

Yes. This can actually be a good time for treatment as your body is naturally cleansing. Menstrual flow does not interfere with the session.

 

🌿 Will I experience discomfort or fatigue afterward?

Usually not. Some clients may feel minor nausea or fatigue during the first session due to the release of old debris and toxins. Remedies include:

• Rest and a warm heating pad on the abdomen

• Sipping mild vegetable broth or peppermint tea

Any discomfort typically resolves within 24 hours. Follow-up sessions help continue cleansing toxins and often result in noticeable health benefits.

 

🌿 Can I go to work after a session?

Absolutely. You can resume normal activities just as after a normal bowel movement.
