Colon Hydrotherapy

What is the colon?

The colon, also known as the large intestine or the bowel, is the final section of the human digestive system. It is a muscular tube approximately 1.8 metres long and 6cm in diameter. The colon's role is to absorb water, vitamins, and minerals and to form and eliminate waste (faeces) from the body. The colon is populated by trillions of friendly bacteria. These bacteria play a major role in the function of our immune system and overall health.

What is colon hydrotherapy?

  • Colon hydrotherapy is also called colonics, colon irrigation or high enemas.

  • Colon hydrotherapy involves the gentle infusion of purified, temperature-regulated, gravity-fed water to the colon. The body naturally releases the infused water along with any waste.

  • This process can help soften and remove old faecal matter that can clog the colon.

  • A colon hydrotherapy session hydrates and activates peristaltic activity. Over time, this movement may help improve the tone, strengthen the bowel and encourage better digestive transit time. For optimal function, ideally, one bowel movement is required each day.

  • No chemicals or drugs are involved in the session - only filtered, purified, temperature-controlled water is used.

Assisting you in removing accumulated waste

Has your digestive system slowed down? If the colon is congested with accumulated waste our blood stream may become overwhelmed with toxins and our whole body cannot function at its best. Colon hydrotherapy cleansing may allow vital nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently, creating a better environment for good bacteria to proliferate, improving overall gut health.

Colon hydrotherapy may help many conditions like:

  • Constipation

  • Bloating

  • Sluggish bowel movement

  • Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Low immunity

  • Poor digestion

  • Irritability

  • Depression

  • Skin problems

  • Great kick start to any weight loss or cleansing program.

Professional Colon Hydrotherapy Device

At The Gut Clinic, we perform our colon hydrotherapy treatments using internationally registered open colon hydrotherapy equipment. We maintain the best practices and the highest standard of hygiene, which includes the use of disposable supplies. The pencil-thin tube and gravity-fed purified water provide more comfort than traditional methods.

Professional Colon Hydrotherapist

Our certified therapists will assist you through the whole process. After a health consultation, the session occurs in a private room with relaxing, soft lighting and ambient music. You will then position yourself on the device to insert the pencil-thin tube about 4-5cm into your rectum. Your therapist will then assist you in starting the flow of purified gravity-fed water into the colon; then, you gently push like having a bowel movement to release the water and waste. This is performed several times during the 30-40 minute session duration. Your therapist will help you design a personal program during your first visit.
