How it works

What Equipment is used?

We use an open colon hydrotherapy device, which is approved internationally.

The device is filtered with carbon and ultra violet light purification systems to ensure the safety of the water used throughout the session.

We maintain the highest standard of hygiene by using single-use disposable equipment and adhering to a strict sanitising protocol.

The Process

The process lasts around 30-45 minutes, so clients are asked to allow 60 minutes total to allow some time before and after the session.

A certified colon hydrotherapist will be available to assist you with the process, monitor you throughout the session, or provide privacy for those that prefer solitude.

In a private space, you will firstly undress from the waist down, then covering yourself with a sheet during the entire session. 

You will then be provided with instructions on how to insert a thin disposable tube slightly into the rectum. The tube is about the thickness of a standard pencil.

A soothing flow of purified, temperature-controlled water is then gravity-fed into the colon. This water helps to soften and loosen the waste which is then naturally released out of the colon. There is no odour and no mess involved with this process.

The open colon hydrotherapy equipment ensures that your privacy and dignity are maintained throughout the session as it assists with detoxification of both the colon and the entire body.

How many sessions will I need?

Your colon is approximately as long as you are tall so there is a lot of area to cleanse. You can’t cleanse the colon during one session, this is why people normally do a series of colon hydrotherapy sessions to thoroughly cleanse, hydrate and create a better environment. Your therapist will help you design a personal colon cleanse that compliments your health goals.

Pre-Care

You can have a colon hydrotherapy session without any preparation; however, avoiding some foods may allow for an easier and more comfortable treatment.

A few days before your treatment, you may also like to minimise caffeine, alcohol, sugar, meat, bread, soft drinks, and heavy and processed foods. This will assist the body in beginning detoxing before your session.

On the day of your treatment, it may help to eat light meals like steamed vegetables, soup, smoothie, vegetable juice and salad options.

Try not to eat anything two hours before your treatment, especially anything heavy.

Keep hydrated by drinking 1 to 2 litres of water and fluids like herbal teas.

Post-Care

After your session, the therapist will provide you with an electrolyte drink and a probiotic to replenish the levels of good bacteria in your gut. 

The aim is to stay hydrated through water intake, herbal tea, soup, etc, especially if you are prone to constipation.

After your session, it may help to eat light and ‘easy to digest’ foods for the remainder of the day, such as steamed vegetables, soups, broths and vegetable juices. Reduce heavy meat consumption for a few days; lean meats or fish are lighter options.

Continue to avoid/minimise caffeine, alcohol, sugar, bread, soft drinks, and heavy and processed foods on the day of the session and in the following few days.

Here are some happy colon health tips

  • Consume filtered water & fluids

  • Include fibre in the diet from fresh vegetables, fruits

  • Enjoy exercising regularly by stretching, rebounding, bike riding, walking or swimming.

  • Include probiotic supplement foods that naturally contain probiotics into your diet, such as cultured vegetables (sauerkraut, pickles), fermented dairy and non-dairy products (yoghurt, kefir).

  • Include prebiotic foods such as apples, bananas, oats, flaxseeds, garlic and cocoa.

How might my body respond after a colon hydrotherapy session?

Everybody’s response is different after a colon hydrotherapy session.

Many people report having more energy and feeling lighter in body and mind. Others report feeling tired or lightheaded. Listen to your body and take time to rest or sleep if you need to.

Many people report experiencing major emotional shifts, especially after one of their first few colon hydrotherapy sessions. This is normal, but it may be beneficial to take some time out to rest, reflect and be kind to yourself.

A common response after a colon hydrotherapy session is for the client to have a slight delay in bowel movements. This is normal, and regularity of bowel movements should return to normal within a day or two (often with somewhat larger, more well-formed and easier-to-move stools).

What is the difference between a colon hydrotherapy and a colonoscopy?

Colon hydrotherapy involves infusing purified, temperature-regulated water into the colon to hydrate it and activate the removal of accumulated waste.

A colonoscopy is a medical procedure performed to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum for changes, such as swollen, irritated tissues, polyps or cancer.

Will an enema or laxatives accomplish the same result?

An enema only cleanses the rectum and the terminal portion of the colon, not the entire colon. Repetitive use of laxatives can lead to colon weakening or irritation and become habit-forming.

Is a colon hydrotherapy embarrassing?

Your confidentiality, privacy and dignity are of utmost importance to us. Our colon hydrotherapy rooms are designed to give you a private, relaxing experience. You are completely covered from the waist down during the entire session.

Is colon hydrotherapy painful?

Colon hydrotherapy is not painful at all.

Occasionally, during the session, you may experience contractions of cramping or gas in your abdomen that has a similar sensation to diarrhoea. You may also experience slight pressure in the rectum, like just before having a bowel movement. As you push the water and waste out, this feeling passes.

Your therapist will coach you on how to take the water into your colon and gently release the water to make the session as comfortable as possible.

After the session you normally feel light in your abdomen and refreshed all over.

That is why we say you’ll feel great from the inside out!

Is colon hydrotherapy safe and sanitary?

Yes, our therapists are internationally certified in open colon hydrotherapy, and we use disposable, single-use supplies. The colon hydrotherapy room and equipment are also thoroughly cleaned and sanitised after every session.

What are the benefits?

Brain Gut Connection

A healthier gut can boost mood, reduce stress, and support mental clarity — showing how caring for your gut can also benefit your brain.

Colon hydrotherapy is not a panacea or cure-all treatment; however, it may be a helpful procedure in alleviating a wide range of disease symptoms.

Symptoms that may respond to colon hydrotherapy include low immunity, colon-related conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation, healing of skin conditions such as acne and sores, relief from headaches, fatigue and swelling.

Colon hydrotherapy assists the colon in eliminating waste more efficiently, relieving any toxic burden on other organs and channels of elimination, such as the liver and kidneys.

The colon then functions more efficiently in eliminating waste and nutrient-absorbing nutrients.

Some benefits you may see are as follows:

  • Reduced bloating, gas and pain

  • Regular pain-free bowel movements

  • Relief from constipation or diarrhoea

  • Elimination of parasites, bad bacteria, candida infections and toxins

  • Improved immune system (increased resistance to colds/flu/sickness)

  • Reduction in allergies and food intolerances

  • Weight loss and flatter stomach

  • Relief from headaches

  • Increased mental clarity

  • Increase in energy levels and overall vitality

  • More balanced mood

  • Reduced stress

  • Fresher breath

  • Healthy skin

  • Clear eyes
