Who Would Benefit From Colon Hydrotherapy?
Virtually anyone would benefit from colon hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation). Nobody has the perfect diet or lifestyle and often we don’t realise the adverse effects on the body as changes are gradual and insidious. People frequently say that they did not realise how bloated and sluggish they felt until they experience the sensation of lightness and freshness after a colonic session.
We help people with an occasional boost prior to a big event, or ‘Spring Clean’ and those who are embarking on a more in depth detoxification regime.
Colon Hydrotherapy for Detoxification or Rejuvenation
Some clients wish to have the occasional colonic hydrotherapy treatment for rejuvenation, well being, detoxification or to springboard a diet. It is quite popular for a colon hydrotherapy treatment to be bought as a gift. You will enjoy our beautiful and comfortable treatment room with en-suite and private facilities. A friend or partner can be present if you prefer, or we have comfortable waiting facilities. We will have to take a full medical history at your first treatment to find out your aims for treatment and ensure that colonic hydrotherapy is appropriate for your needs. If you wish we can analyse your diet and give you nutritional advice. We will be able to identify areas of your digestive system which are not functioning to optimum capacity, enabling you to make lifestyle and dietary changes which will enhance energy levels, circulation and immunity. We are trained and endorsed by the exclusive Viva Mayr clinic in Austria.
Colon Hydrotherapy for a Specific Condition
We can help with long standing, uncomfortable and embarrassing bowel conditions such as flatulence, bloating, constipation, irritable bowel, bad breath or skin problems.
Some clients have conditions such as ulcerative colitis or candida. In these cases we can devise a treatment programme with you. Our aim is to retrain the colon and to bring you back to optimum health. We are trained and endorsed by the specialist Viva Mayr clinic in Austria in the treatment of digestive problems.
Often our clients have suffered with uncomfortable and difficult conditions for years. They have exhausted medical investigations and been disappointed with conventional medical treatment. This often entails ever increasing prescription of laxative medication or anti spasmodic drugs, which result in the colon becoming sluggish and less likely to return to full health.
Internal detoxification is often neglected. Food allergies, food intolerance and diet can cause soft, frequent bowel motions or constipation. Laxatives can compound the problem as the colon becomes sluggish. Colonic hydrotherapy is the first step in retraining the bowel and detoxification. It can have a dramatic effect on energy levels resulting in a feeling of well being.
We will be able to advise you about the cause of your problem and if necessary have access to laboratory facilities and testing, some of which is far superior to that available in the UK at this time (and not available through the National Health Service).
The Colon
The colon forms the last part of the digestive tract. The colon is a major excretory organ whose additional functions are to absorb water soluble nutrients and synthesise certain vitamins. Stress, pollution, poor diet, food additives, alcohol and constipation lead to faecal matter sticking to the colon wall sometimes forming little ‘pockets’. The average amount of debris lodged in the colon is between 3-5lb. This can lead to bowel conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel or diverticulitis.
Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is a gentle infusion of warm, purified water that can help to gently cleanse the bowel of mucus and old, toxic residues. This can help to retrain the colon and improve its function.
What is Involved
A Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonic Irrigation treatment will typically last about an hour. The session will begin with your personal therapist taking a case history from you and discussing your aims for the treatment.
The colonic treatment itself takes about 30-45 minutes. The client relaxes on a couch and a small disposable speculum is gently inserted into the rectum. Warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the rectum whilst the therapist uses specialist massage techniques, stimulating the release of stored matter. All waste is discreetly transported away with offensive odour.
It is pain free, safe and gentle. The equipment used is sterilised and disposable. There is no possibility of contamination between clients. You may have a sensation of wanting to have a bowel motion, which then ‘releases.’ Your modesty is preserved at all times.
The treatment can also indicate the presence of parasites or whether there is difficulty breaking down proteins, fats or carbohydrates. If you wish we can analyse your diet and give you nutritional advice.
Following the Treatment
The client can carry on as normal. In fact many clients pop in during their lunch hour. As the bowel will be thoroughly cleansed it is fairly normal not to have another movement for anything between 24 and 72 hours.

The Detoxifying Benefits

We will analyse your diet and your nutrition to establish whether you have any problems digesting carbohydrates, fats or proteins. We will also analyse where in the digestive process there may be difficulties and make suggestions to help alleviate the situation. We can suggest supplements to help your treatment and can advise which laboratory tests may be appropriate for you.
We would always take a full case history from you in order so that we understand your needs. If necessary we can liaise with your GP or medical specialist. Colon Hydrotherapy may form part of your treatment and would benefit anybody, but you can decide whether to just see us for a one hour full consultation for us to consider your situation and devise a treatment plan for you which may include colon hydrotherapy at a later date.
