COLON HYDROTHERAPY
The Colon
The Colon, or large intestine is the last part of the human digestive tract
(this is the food being carried from the mouth to the anus)
The Colon is approximately five feet long (152.4cm). Its main function is to eliminate food and other body wastes and to conserve water. In a healthy colon there are billions of friendly bacteria which help the Colon and make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal waste.
The Facts
Transmit time of food through our bodies should be less than 24 hours. On average in the UK today it is up to 60 hours for Men and 70 hours for Women.
The UK is the most constipated nation in the world. 1 in 3 people visiting their Doctor have a bowel related problem.
The reality is that the UK has a high incidence of Bowel Cancers with over 20,000 new cases each year.
SO HOW CAN COLON HYDROTHERAPY HELP?
It is a gentle internal bath using warm purified water that helps to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas mucus and toxic substances from the colon. This procedure dates back in records to around 1500BC. Obviously technology and science has meant this treatment is painless and very quick.
THE TREATMENT PROCESS
Ideally you need to allow an hour and a half for your first treatment. On arrival you will be asked to fill in a consultation form and the entire process will be explained in full. You will be given a gown and a blanket to maintain your dignity at all times.
IS IT PAINFUL?
NO-There will be very slight abdomen pressure and a feeling of "butterflies" as the material passes through. There is no smell as the system is a completely closed system.
